Freedom! I took advantage of the preferred human and box-stealing man going to a human catnip place to escape! I was in too much pain to shout at them on their return. My leg really hurts :ablobcatcry: #CatsOfMastodon#Cat#Fedicat
@thepoliticalcat I am quite sleepy, so have decided to hug the preferred human. She's been dancing, so will inevitably feel as bad as my paw quite soon.
@thepoliticalcat the preferred human has thoroughly inspected my leg. She thinks I may have a small cut or splinter in my paw as I didn't react anywhere else. She says I am being a bit of a drama queen.
@thepoliticalcat She says if I am still being a drama queen tomorrow, I will have to see James the vet. If it is just that tiny cut, I will not get any treats for being brave and going in the cat box. :ablobcatcry: It's an outrage!
@thepoliticalcat with the threat of the vet, I have decided to stop limping. I'm now walking gingerly. As a reward, I was allowed out to toilet, but they scammed me because it's raining. I came back inside immediately at almost my usual athletic speed.
@thepoliticalcat They are NOT! Firstly, they threw away my cardboard scratcher for no reason. That was my favourite place to sit in the kitchen. Plus, they still have not stopped the rain, which is rude.
I am currently hiding under the bed because of fireworks. Today has been awful.
@thepoliticalcat I have emerged and have gone to the preferred human for a hug. I am being very brave. Eric is running around the house, trying to escape the firework noise. He wants to go outside because he doesn't understand it's worse out there.
@thepoliticalcat Eric escaped outside, but there are still a few fireworks. He has come running back at speed, looking like the image below. I think he's now attacking my cat tree because of the adrenaline.
@thepoliticalcat He may want to be friends, but I don't want to be friends with him. He punches me for no reason, eats my food, destroys my stuff and he smells.
@thepoliticalcat I do not even try to understand humans, but the preferred human thinks they may be premature Bonfire Night ones. They last for about 2 weeks around here, which is awful.
@thepoliticalcat The 5th will be the worst. Last year, I stayed under the bed for 8 hours: no food, no water, no toilet, no hugs. I did not move a muscle or change position. Even Eric came to join me under there, yet I didn't even hiss at him. :blobcat_thisisfine:
@thepoliticalcat A few years ago, one flew into our kitchen and exploded, which was terrifying. I'd been imprisoned upstairs, thankfully. My humans refuse to have them at home after that as it's too dangerous. Everyone around us does and it's very scary, even with calming music playing. After the 8 hour statue impression, I will emerge and hyperventilate on the preferred human.
@thepoliticalcat She knows the routine by now. She even tried putting food and water under the bed one year, but I was too scared to consume it. Now, she just turns the bed into my own personal firework bunker, then is available when hugs are needed. If it were just one night, it would be tolerable.
@thepoliticalcat Her brother's dog, who I hate, has to take pills to survive Bonfire Night. I won't take the pills, so a bed bunker is the best thing for me. I think I am nice to share it with Eric.
@thepoliticalcat They were from James the vet. He is concerned about how stressed I get because I have a heart murmur. However, he can't check it properly because I'm always having a panic attack when I'm at the surgery. He thought pills might help me get through this time of year without too much stress, but I wasn't keen.
@thepoliticalcat I hate all dogs, but she comes into my house without asking, then goes all weird because she's scared of orange cats. She got her eye scratched by one near her home, which, to be honest, I cannot argue with because she's a smelly dog.
When I attack her to try to kill her, I get removed, which is rude as it's MY house, that she invaded.
@thepoliticalcat I'm afraid I can't do that. She is not a guest but an interloper. I did not approve the visit, no consent was sought and as I try to kill any dog I see, she deserves it.
@thepoliticalcat the PH's brother said I was vicious, which is rich considering he brought a dog here to my house without asking me, specifically a dog who is scared of orange cats. I'm only defending what's mine. :blobcatknife:
@thepoliticalcat We usually don't have to worry about wildfires as it's usually so damp. How were your cats at escaping as I don't think I would have come out from under the bed without a fight.
We have moor fires in the summer, but usually because people decide to barbecue on a bone dry moor.
@thepoliticalcat either a barbecue or just a nice campfire 🤯. The fire brigade have to remind the humans it's a bad idea every year - I think humans lack common sense everywhere. One year, we could see the smoke over Manchester plus it was very smoky and smelly, but the fire was a long way away from us.
@thepoliticalcat I think you will find that I had made the scratcher smell very nice, so there was no need to throw it away. They can't keep me inside when it's fair, then decide to let me out in the rain. They need to fix it.
