Ain't no sunshine, Rory cat

It's not warm outside today

Ain't no sunshine on the de-eck

And I swear it's cold as heck

Anytime you go outside…

Wrote a little ditty to sing at my cat when he wants to go out on the screened in deck but the weather isn't cooperating

my cat is in mortal peril

thought i'd make it a dramatic title but at the same time, it's true

I came back from being away on Wednesday night and he seemed relatively fine if a little quiet.

He spent the next few days chilling near the radiator - we just assumed it was his new 'spot' as he sort of picks somewhere and stays in it for several weeks - quite normal for him.

He wasn't eating great - not normal for him - and the last day he basically didn't eat at all.

Last night his breathing became pretty shallow/fast so this morning we took him to the vet. They did some tests and this afternoon we had to drive him to another city to get a blood transfusion as he has a parasite which has basically been destroying his red blood cells, so he's severely anaemic right now.

He doesn't travel well and there was a risk he could die in the car with us but he did great. I managed to get my fingers through the bars of his carrier enough so that I could make contact with his head/face and he ended up resting his head on my hand for the last part of the journey. It was scary because when he was alert I knew he was still with us but I wanted him to be as comfy as possible and not have to expend energy keeping his head up.

He's now getting the transfusion, they are having to use dog blood because they couldn't find a good cat match and while it's riskier than a good cat match, a bad cat match would be riskier.

This has all been super expensive because he has a health condition which has meant we can't insure him but my lil dude is worth it. We don't want to lose him. It's so weird being in the flat without his lil grumbles and grunts.

I'm so knackered too. If he's well enough I'll have to get N's dad to help me pick him up but I have an occupational health assessment at 9 and I think they'd expect me to pick him up not long after so that's not great.

Send my guy well wishes, internet

idk how people in my life keep being surprised by the fact i am an environmentalist first and an animal lover second. we should cull the feral cats, dogs, mustangs, declare open season on deer, and reintroduce natural predators to the environment. sorry that y'all love ecological devastation but i'm built different

#if anything i would hold this makes me MORE of an animal lover than the average outdoor cat haver #i got called fucking vile today for saying we need to euthanize the feral cat population #lmao #okay fuck the songbirds and rodents and plantlife i guess #as long as hundreds of FIV positive cats can get mauled by toyotas it'll be worth it to watch other species go extinct

[loremonster]

I love my kitties so much

#Black and white is Sir Asterius #Black is Mistress Nyx #they are FIV positive and thus Indoor Only cats #so I spend a lot of time with them trying to enrich their day #... and then they follow me when I sit down to chill lol #both are hard to get pictures of because THAT HAND COULD BE PETTING ME #and they nuzzel the camera before I can get the shot lmao

Goodbye my friend 🌈

Thank you for choosing our house to always visit everyday, even sometimes coming in. For the cuddles and company. I'm sorry we could not save you but we tried to make your life as wonderful as possible. Love you, Mr Biggs!

#pet loss #sort of he wasn't really our cat #but a friendly stray that saw us almost every day #i would've took him in but my other cats hated him #and he was old and fiv positive so we worried no one would adopt him #didn't want him to spend his last days in a shelter

[frowningfox]

Guess who has all the diseases! It's Iskehl. His gums/teeth are all messed up and he's being pampered with sardines and chicken.

#the vet says it's a common big bad disease that FIV positive cats get (he is FIV positive) #but he's already eating better so I'm not sure it's that #it could be but also??? idk #we're fattening him back up to his normal size right now #he's got a follow up visit in like a month or so

[undead-potatoes]

Pixel might have FIV bc a neighborhood cat broke its way through my screen door and started a fight with him a few weeks ago

I’m so fucking mad, if you can’t keep your cats indoors get a fucking plant or something instead

#Sunny Life #I swear to fucking god if someone let their FIV positive cat outside #it's literally the ONLY cat other than Tali he has had any contact with so if he does have FIV it has to be from that incident #they're doing some more tests to be sure so there's still hope but man this sucks :(

Julian came and cuddled with me this morning before we closed off the bedroom and let Cecil out of the bathroom. It was the first time I've heard him purr since we brought Cecil home on Thursday. Honestly, it did a lot to help me feel like it's okay to love both of them. I was terrified that Julian would just hate me since I'm primarily the one hanging out with Cecil. Julian chose my boyfriend as his "person" and I felt it was better for him to be with his person most of the time. But he's still my baby boy and it's been hard to see him upset about the invader. So this morning was really special. I got cuddle time, purrs, and reassurance.

Now, Cecil is just on my face. Because where else would a cat lay?

His neck wound drained yesterday, so he's been feeling frisky this morning and had the zoomies for like an hour. He rolled around in the bathtub and it was CRIMINALLY cute. Who said cats are allowed to be this cute??? He also played in his new box that we gave him yesterday (Julian has never liked boxes).

Unfortunately, I think his infection will get bad again since he can't fight off the infection. He's scheduled for surgery on Thursday to get the area cleaned out completely so he can start to recover.

Also, he won't leave my altar alone because he likes to be UP, and he is a little demon and has learned to open cabinets and drawers with rigid handles. We'll have to baby proof the whole apartment...

hi, guys. so last night, i was at home and a little cat showed up out of nowhere in my roof. she kept meowing insistently, and kept doing so for over an hour; she somehow found a way to get into my ceiling, and kind of refused to leave. i thought she could have been stuck there, so i managed to get her out, but even on the ground, she simply wouldn't leave, and kept purring and meowing at me. i also didn't have the heart to throw her out, especially since it was raining yesterday, so she spent the night in my house.

truth be told, i'm not on the ideal position to get another pet at this moment, especially because i already have a dog and (most importantly, on this case) a cat, so i had to keep her isolated from them in a room, in case she has a fiv/felv virus. i tried to contact animal shelters and some people i know, but no one seems to be able to take her in. so, i have no other option but to look after her, me being me.

i already took her to get some preliminary exams this morning, and at first glance, she seems fine, thankfully. still, because of my cat marie, i have to take that fiv/felv test as soon as possible, so (with a negative result, hopefully) i can begin to acclimate them to each other safely.

unfortunately, as you might have guessed by now, i don't have enough money to cover all of these exams plus the neutering and vaccines she'll need. so, i must once again ask for your financial support in this situation! any amount would be a huge help!

! k0fi link !

(also, i haven't settled on a name for her yet. so, which one do you prefer?)

Bowser finally tested negative for FIV today! His sisters were negative long ago, but he had a faint positive for a while. Glad he officially doesn't have to worry about it <3

something beautiful

I managed to escape from my hundreds of assignments for a few moments to finish this one for you all, sorry its short :((

♢ Pairing: Kiri x Oldest sister!Reader

♢ Word count: 1.8k

♢ Genre: angst, sibling love, fluff - Warnings: cursing, talks of depression and insecurity

⌲ Description: Your younger sister is worrying you more for each passing day after the family’s move with the Metkayina. 

M A S T E R L I S T

“The fish seem happy.”

With a startled flinch, Kiri found herself snapping out of whatever daze she had been in, sitting on the sandy beach with the water rushing up to meet her lower body and away again as the cycle repeated itself with the current. 

She had been so preoccupied with her mind that your presence hadn’t registered until the very last moment.

Something that should be scolded in the current dangerous times, but not for Kiri. Never for Kiri, to be honest. 

“There is no fish,” she gave a strange look as you chuckled before settling yourself down beside her with an exaggerated huff. 

“Not here, but I assume they are; with them being fish in the ocean and all.”

“You really need to improve your jokes.”

You had heard that one several times already, and simply offered a light shrug in return. Mimicking her gaze, you followed it out to the crystal blue surface of the eastern ocean trying to remain in the obvious silence your younger sister had been busy with. 

But patience had never been a virtue of yours. 

“So, why are you sitting here all alone?” 

Kiri shrugged. “Just felt like it. People got annoying.”

Well then. “Fair enough.”

The sigh mixed with a slightly exaggerated breath coming from you was enough to make Kiri roll her eyes knowingly as you stretched out on the sand beside her, eyes now stuck on the clear blue sky above your heads with the brightness of the sun warming your skin as you squinted up for a moment, one leg bent up to further support your comfortable position before closing your eyes. 

And so you waited. 

One.

Two.

Three. 

Four.

Fiv-

“Out with it.”

You win. 

“Hm?” 

There was no need on your part to open your eyes to know about her annoyance. It was already clear to you from the shift of her body alone. 

“You’re being suspiciously silent. And you’re never silent unless you want something.”

Her words made you grin, but you still refused to look at her. 

You could actually get used to this position on the warm sand. A nap would have been delightful in this weather. 

“Y/N!”

Oops. 

“Sorry, was in my own head there for a moment.”

She groaned a sound you had gotten far too used to since leaving the forest, and especially coming from her.

“Yes I know, so what do you want?”

You clicked your tongue in a slight reprimand, finally turning your head to look at her as Kiri glanced down at you with the familiar I-Don’t-Wanna-Talk-To-You downturned pout of her lips. 

“No need to be so grumpy.”

“I said I wanted to be alone.”

“I’m not saying anything, you’re the one making a deal out of this.”

That was certainly not the thing to say, you realized. 

“Ugh!” Kiri was about to stand up and stomp away, so you lost the playful facade as you pushed yourself back up into a sitting position. 

“Stop, sit down.”

Pausing in a half crouch, you could see the indecisiveness in your little sister’s eyes as they flickered to you and the village in the distance, but as she met your raised eyebrows defeat was quick to follow as she plumped back down with a huff, stubbornly crossing her arms and looking away. 

“Good choice,” you straightened up. “So what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.”

“Bullshit,” your reply was quick but simple. 

“What do you want me to say then?”

“The truth would be nice.”

“Why do you always have to meddle?”

“Hm, I meddle when the situation calls for it, Kiri. You of all people should know that.”

You could see her contemplating, warring for her next actions silently of whether to continue her stubborn teenage act or actually come clean to the one person who could see straight through most of her acts. 

“And what situation are you seeing right now?”

Bingo.

Your little sister might have thought herself to be quite clever - not that she wasn’t. Kiri was sometimes far too smart for her own good. She was not someone who was easily roped into Lo’ak’s stupid schemes, neither was she prone to self-destruction like Neteyam sometimes did with the burden of heir on his shoulders. She was the silent, but listening type who had a sharp tongue when it was needed. 

There was a reason why your grandmother had found her to be a fitting healer instead of you. You hadn’t been the only one to notice her fascinating connection to everything living around her. The earth, the trees, and the creatures both in the skies and waters. 

Eywa had clearly chosen her. 

And not a single part of you doubted that it would be for something great. 

You just wished Kiri could see that too. 

“You are unhappy.”

Her reply was dry, biting almost.“What made you think that?”

You scruffed her head at the cheek on her as she let out a sound in protest of the action. “Don’t be smart with me.”

Another roll of her eyes. 

She was really layering on this.

“Just like you, I’m not stupid. Is it because you don’t like the Metkayina?”

”Of course not, they’re nice…most of them.”

There was silent agreement on your part. “Do you miss the forest?”

“We’re Omitikaya, I will always miss the forest.”

“Okay,” you nodded. “Then what is it?”

“Nothing you can fix.”

“I’m not trying to fix you, little sister,” after what seemed like a lifetime, Kiri finally glanced at you for more than five seconds. “I am trying to help.”

“You can’t help something that is not fixable.”

“Kiri,” you shifted up on your knees, facing her with a serious look as you grabbed her slightly smaller hands in yours, stroking your thumbs over her knuckles for a short moment in comfort. “You worry me. Us, our brothers too.”

“You are hardly eating with us these days. Always skulking away for yourself to the point that even Tsireya has noticed something strange. Mom and dad won’t say anything because they don’t want to push you, but at this point you are forcing me to.”

Her head was hanging down, her soft, choppy hair so different in texture from your own covering her eyes as you leaned forward to tuck some of it into the back of her ear. 

“Do you think I’m pretty?” 

A scared little whisper that shattered your heart into a thousand pieces. 

There were many words you wanted to say, to scream even. More than one emotion was circling in your mind; anger, against whoever had managed to make your younger sister so insecure in herself. Sadness, for her to even believe whoever’s words they were. And frustration, at yourself for not making her see the truth earlier. 

You didn’t ask for permission as you pulled her into a hug, settling down behind her like your mother usually did for all the children, as Kiri’s form curled into a small ball between your legs, head finding support against your collarbone. 

“You are something beautiful, Kiri, special and unique in this large world - do not ever let anyone tell you differently, do hear me?”

“But I’m not like you,” your shoulders dropped at those words, hurting you even further to know that of all people to compare herself to in this world it was you. Her protector and older sister. “You couldn’t see it back home. How all of the young men were always vying for your attention because you were busy with dad and all your tasks. But they were always looking at you, hoping and dreaming for a single moment of focus.”

“Stop,” a breath hitched in her. “You cannot, and will not compare yourself to me, little sister. I am not the standard for what is beautiful in this world. I admire strong people, strong hearts like our mother and grandmother, but at the end of the day, I also make sure to appreciate myself.”

“How can I appreciate myself when I’m a freak?”

Eywa, like you hated that word. It wasn’t horrible in itself, a simple word in the English dictionary used to describe a lot of things. But ever since you had been able to talk and understand words, that word had always followed your siblings and that one extra finger. 

“Well, then we’re both freaks,” as Kiri met your eyes you wiggled your five fingers at her as her lips tugged. “We’re two sides of the same coin, so your argument is not valid. Because if you say I’m the standard of beauty with my five fingers, then you are too.”

She sighed heavily. “Sissy-”

“Nope! No takebacks. You are beautiful, done. You said it yourself.”

“You’re not being funny,” in despite of her words, you felt the tension ease from her form. 

“If you think I’m ever joking about this, you will have to think again.”

Tucking her closer against you, as if that was possible, you rested your cheek against the crown of her head as both of you looked back out into the ocean. Letting the warm breeze act like a comforting blanket in the darkness of the topic. 

“I know it isn’t easy,” you whispered. “Having your own thoughts betraying you, making you believe in…whatever negative angle it comes up with. It’s not something to fix within a day, or this conversation itself. This darkness roots itself into our very bones, convincing us that there is no other truth. But I will never let you get roped into it.”

There was a waver in her voice as Kiri spoke. “How do you know it is fixable? Because I can’t see it…”

“Because I will be here. Every step of the way.”

You thought that would be the end of it, taking her nonverbal response as her own acceptance. 

But you were wrong, more often than not lately when it came to your siblings. 

“Please don’t make promises you can’t keep,” Kiri nearly croaked, the whisper of her sentence so low you nearly had to strain to hear clearly. 

It still managed to settle that uncomfortable feeling of unease deep in your chest as you swallowed at her meaning. 

“Don’t say that, little sister,” was all you could say, because she was right, in a sense. 

This stalemate that your family was in with the Metkayina was a false security. Your father might have been able to trick himself that everything was okay now - safe. 

You thought differently. 

“I will do my best, can you at least accept that?”

The way she snuggled further into you was a yes in her language, and you settled for it as of the moment. 

If the future was set on separating your family then you would meet its gaze when the day arrived. 

However, right now, your sister needed you, and that was all that mattered.

So my family has been on a whole journey with this adorable, amazing cat over the past week plus, and as it turns out, his journey is going to need to continue. Currently named Angus McDonald, this little guy showed up begging at our house, and unlike the usual strays, was both incredibly underfed and incredibly friendly. A search for family found nothing, just neighborhood kids who played with him sometimes. We brought him into our house, isolated in a bedroom, because we were worried about him surviving the heat wave, and we started all his veterinary care processes... only to find out that he is positive for both FIV and FeLV. While both these conditions are manageable, they are transmissible to other cats (so he couldn't ever live safely in our home with our other two boys) and they do have risks of other health complications and shortening his lifespan.

Despite that, he is one of the sweetest, most polite, fanciest little kitty boys I have ever met. He will be such a good cat for someone. And that someone could be you! Or your friend! We live in the greater Indianapolis area, and we're currently covering all his big "transitioning to indoor life" medical expenses. Please send me or @damnfool-of-a-took an ask or a DM if you think you have space in your heart & home for Angus, and please reblog this post!
