Hi I am really tired.
4 months ago
I am burnt out in general. Everything is heavy and I have been working 6 days a week for the past several weeks. I have been working on artfight attacks and a few things from my last journal. Whenever I get home I kind of space out until I am too tired to really think.
The 4th of July we took in another cat. She has been wandering our neighborhood for a while. She's a little calico cat, really skinny and really sweet. Obviously had a home at some point. One of our neighbors was deliberately trying to chase her out onto a busy road with sparklers. Well it was a friend of a neighbor and he was 'drunk' and he said that he was going to start shooting fireworks at her next. So the neighbors came and got me, because I try and relocate these cats when I can. They had already caught her, and asked me to put her up for the night until their friend left.
Her name is patchy. She's had babies in the last couple of months but I haven't seen them around. Its always been suspected that she's just left to free roam and has a house, so idk why they didn't take the cat to her supposed owners unless they tried that.
I'm not officially affiliated with a rescue although I have made a friend who works in those sorts of circles and mostly traps and neuters/spays ferals. (I have many thoughts about that too. I'm not a TNR supporter but I am also not a coyotes getting fat off cats supporter either. (I have a whole rant about that too because. There are people that make suggestions about 'releasing coyotes in areas where feral cats are' as a joke and I just. It's exhausting. People are exhausting. Can we advocate for wildlife without advocating for coyotes to come into urban areas and learn that oh, humans have pets that are easy prey, they also have trash etc out - easy meals.) It's not good for the coyotes, its not good for the cats that are pets, or other small pets that have shit owners and keep them outside 24/7. I'd like to see LESS dead coyotes on the road near my house, thank you.
My dream is to one day have a small business and a place for these cats to be adopted from. But for now I'm stuck working at a quick service restaurant and day dreaming about having the energy to write and draw. And one day go to disneyworld. While the world falls apart.
