[Aidara's Scrapbook] It's Real For Us

[Aidara]

The Princess Box A home made cat house. Kay, so I love animals. I'll do anything for them. I recently lost my cat, Lucy, who I got for my eleventh birthday. She was roughly 15 years old when she died. She had a long, happy life and I still miss her. Lucy, a few months before she passed away, in her favorite sleeping position. The family here has an elderly cat as well, Princess. She is 18 and reminds me so much of Lucy that it sometimes hurts a little bit. Needless to say, I am partial to this cat because of who she represents for me. Not to mention she is also a sweetheart and is one of the nicest cat's I've ever met. So, for those of you who have cats, you'll get this. They're picky. Lucy would lay in random places all around the house: In a corner, on the counter, on the woof floor. And they all looked fricken uncomfortable. So I would take a blanket or buy a cat bed and place it where she would lay so she could be more comfortable.... but then she would never lay there again, after I'd gone out of my way to fix up the spot for her. When I saw Princess outside, laying in my discarded Amazon box, I sighed because I knew I would want to put a blanket in the box so that she wasn't resting on just cardboard. She is old and bony and it just makes me sad, but I didn't want too because I knew that the second I fixed it up, she wouldn't want the box anymore. For a whole week she laid in that random box. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and went out there and just put a blanket in the box. By some freak chance of nature she not only still slept in the box but she laid in it even more than she did before. SUCCESS!!!!!! But then two days ago it rained. And her box was ruined. So I made her a new, water-proof house. ^_^ Awesomeness : Stuck a new box from Fed-Ex inside a black garbage bag, then put a plank of wood on top to keep the rain off the front. The opening, small to keep the warmth in and bubble wrapped in case some water gets under the board. ....and she loves it.

I love your cat house. It must be special if it was approved by the cat. Also... Thank you. *hugs*

Awww Jules!!! <3 <3 You're so sweet and yes, I understand and totally adore the special senior kitties in our lives. I got Sable a lambs wool bed--he won't touch it. I bought him an extra soft fleece blanket with cushioning--he won't go near that corner now! I got him a heating pad and threw my blue, oldest, rattiest blanket in the house over it--he adores it! Good for you to give the pretty kitty a nice place to soak in some sleepin' comfort! *hugs n hugs*

For the love of cats. No wonder we like you so much! I've got a seven toed momma cat on my lap right now that just came up to get her belly rubbed. I think making them happy brings us all kinds of happiness too.

Lisa- I had a wonderfully soft blanket that I loved to sleep with tucked around my shoulders, over my actual comforter. I slept like that for months. After having it for a few weeks, Lucy would not get off of it. She loved it. I personally think that cats, while a lot of people believe are solitary animals, are none the less drawn to the smells of their people. I was Lucy's person. Jen- I love all Animals. It's a tough call between cats and dogs because they have so many things about either species that I love. <333 I am glad that you and Lisa both appreciate the little beasts as much as I do. I am in good company. Another crappy evening of arguments and an all around negative atmosphere. I've sat here looking at the posts I've had to reply too for at least twenty minutes now and I just can't find the words. My mind is too focused on the stupid stuff going on around me. I'm not giving up on NaNo, I've not lost my muse. I think I'm just...weary. Too weary to put to words the responses that I've already formulated. For those of you who are waiting for me, I am sorry if I am fucking up your word count. I will post tomorrow, I promise.

*hugs n comforts* For you to feel better, I present 15 year old Sable saying hi.

[Aidara]

Oh my goodness! How handsome is he! He looks exactly like my cat, Shay, who I had to give up for adoption But she has a happy home now with an elderly woman who wanted companionship. Shay would just sit in my lap for hours to be petted, so she defiantly went to the right home. She was totally not a photogenic cat. Her eyes always looked wonky in a picture.

Have a crazy dream. Not in the dreamscapes forum, but Addy has a crazy, drug induced dream. 3. Wax eloquently on a topic for bells. Addy get's caught up in her love for food. 4. Invent a new saying. While trying to get others to join her in her discovery of drugs, Addy invents an insult. November(2011) 1. Try your hand at home brewing. During her exploration of drugs, Addy tries brewing some Temper in tea. 2. Insult someone or be insulted. Addy tells Kovac whats up. 3. Give someone a gift or receive one. Sira and Addy both receive many gifts. 4. Acquire a serious injury. Sira has a sex dream about Sai, which injures Addy emotionally to Sira's great surprise. Possibly the first of a few threads.

Accomplishment It feels so good. Ah. It feels nice. I am caught up on all my threads with Addy, I am on track with NaNo, and I have also just completed all of the threads required for the Wind Reach Thread Challenge. Unfortuantely, the only thing still hovering is the posts due on my other PCs, but all those I am threading with understand or are also participating in NaNo on another PC. If I am wrong, owe you a post and you want it NOW... then tell meh. I also got a Beta invite to Star Wars: The Old Republic, as I believe everyone did who preordered the game. However, I don't think it's actually available yet. Either that, or I am retarded and can't figure out how to download the beta client. No fighting today, Everyone is in a good mood AND it is raining. Perfect. The only downside is Ian is sick from a migrane but at least he is sleeping and on the way to recovery.
