I just feel empty.

*Hugs* Everyone feels that way every once and a while, it'll get better though. <3

Can I just have a hug? A cookie? Thank you in advance, huggers. I don't really like pms, but just a small hug would be very much apprectiated.

*Huggles* Heyo! Feel better soon, whatever is bugging you <3 c:

Oooookay. Before I start, I am going to ask that you please not rage at me about how "what we're doing is animal abuse" and all of that. I know it isn't right, but I do not see it as flat out abuse. All of these cats are very well fed, have plenty of room to run and play, and get SO much attention. They are all very happy. It is me who isn't.

My fiance and I accidentally have a hoard of cats. It started a few years ago before I even lived with them when her dad brought home four kittens as a surprise. The real surprise? They were all female, but since we were already attached to them we figured we would be okay with it. So wrong. Especially after an adult female stray was dropped off and we couldn't turn her down.

That was five cats who each had a litter of kittens. We promised ourselves that we would only keep the few we really liked and re-home the rest. We weren't able to find them homes, didn't want to take them to the local shelter due to the high kill rate, and ended up loving them all too much, anyway.

That left us with eighteen cats. Nineteen, after another female with a broken leg showed up on out front porch. Couldn't turn her down either. And now, since those five litters of kittens (which were mostly girls, by the way) have had time to grow up...now they're having babies. We have EIGHT litters of kittens. Eight. You know what that means? We have about 51 cats now. It is so overwhelming to me. I don't want all of these cats. I don't want them to end up being put down at the shelter. No one around here wants them.

(WARNING: It gets a bit gross from here) This situation has evolved into being a hazard to both my mental and my physical health. Mentally, because these cats like to come in and out of the house all day. We can't keep them out because my /lovely/ mother-in-law doesn't try to keep them out when goes out to smoke. I am easily irritated and I get frustrated beyond believe over constantly having to get cats off the stoves/counters/etc. Constantly trailing behind everyone making sure they didn't leave any food out, because the cats will get it. This is literally my everyday life. I can never enjoy myself without having to wonder what kind of trouble they are getting into. Especially when my fiance sleeps 4-6 hours more a day than I do, so she isn't up to handle them.

Now..about it being a hazard to my physical health. Even though they all know how to, not all of the cats want to use to litter box. I try to keep up with it but with nineteen cats...I will go ahead and say that I gag with the smell of the house sometimes. I can shower and drown myself in body spray and my parents can still smell the cat on me. My friends can't even come in because it smells so bad.

;u; It doesn't matter what I do. I can get down on my hands and knees and scrub the landing of our stairs for hours. It will be clean for maybe ONE day before the cats are already using it as their box. Not only this, but..okay this is incredibly gross. There are a handful of cats that won't stop urinating on the stove and counters. When I wipe them down, they are black with general grime from the cats walking on them so much. NONE of my clothes aren't covered in thick cat hair.

I..just feel so helpless in this situation. We all love these cats so much, and it would kill my fiance to get rid of them, but I feel like they literally have be on the verge of some sort of break down. It is getting to the point where I want to hurt them each time they get on the counters. What would we even do with them? No one wants adult cats. They should know better by now. I just don't understand. I just don't know what to do. ;u; Any advice?

I know this is a lot to read, but does anyone have any advice for the situation?

I would honestly try to talk to your fiance about tihs, and donate most of them to a shelter that won't put them down. If its to much to handle, and you don't want to deal with it and you just explain, it may help.

It seems like it might help to get help at this point, I'm sure you could find a no-kill shelter, even if you have to drive a few miles to get to it. ;o You definitely can't go on like this. If you haven't done so already (I'm sure you have, but just as a precaution), please get the cats neutered as soon as possible, as well x,D

I don't know if I helped... pssh I hope I did -hugs- I promise it'll be okay in the end, honey. Promise.

I feel way younger than I actually am. Even my mother admitted she sees me as mentally a few years younger. It's really frustrating because just as I got good friends, they are leaving to see the world. I'm supposed to go out of state for college this fall but I feel like I should be a sophomore in high school again. I'm so worried I'm not good enough to get in the program I really want because I'm behind. How am supposed to fit with people become adults when I feel like a 15-year-old. I'll be the strange one and I'm worried I'll never meet someone who will love me, I don't want to be alone but how is childish person with personal issues going to have anyone who falls for them.
I just wish I would have been held back. *sigh* But I don't think my parents could stand me for much longer, much less my friends...

[mac demarco]

ugh.

so this girl from my old school texts me.
we used to be friends,
until i figured out she's two-faced
and a backstabber.

i text back, who is this,
because i deleted her #.

so, instead of telling me,
she texts back this, word
for word.

awh, you think your
so [censored] cute. i don't care
how pretty everyone says you are,
your boring as [censored]. well, first of
all little [censored] you go to [censored] school
to learn how to communicate properly. so, in case
your dumb[censored] mind can't handle it, i don't
like your [censored] attitude. do you think i care
if we're friends or not anymore? listen up little
[censored]!! i don't like how your [censored] talking,
and you better start showing some respect, or i'll
beat the [censored] out of your little gorgeous [censored].
you'll learn to not delete my number, [censored], [censored].
even if you didn't, don't make it seem like you
did, cause it's not [censored] cute. so go [censored]
ask around if you still don't get it.

really? i want to cry right now.
that was all from just deleting her number.


i'm serious, i'm so hurt.
i didn't do anything! at all! i haven't even
seen her for about 3 months!!

what did i do?!?!

Well I am no pro hugger, but I how this feels. The best thing to do, is go to a parent or older sibling, or even a teacher. This is definitely cyber bullying, against the law. If you feel..like you can't go to some one like that, go to a trusted friend. I know it is really hard some times, I am in high school, not fun, but you can't tackle this by your self.

Some people just say things like that, it may sound stupid now, but from what she said, she sounds jealous. Or even just mad. Some girls just like a good old fight for no reason, the best to do is just try your hardest to ignore her, block her number and if it gets worse go to the police.
She has no rights to make you feel that way, it is unfair and horrible.

I hope this gets better, and sorry if I wasn't allowed to post..

Mlep... I feel really stupid. I dress up as pretty as I can, because I'm trying to impress people. I flirt with guys, and they're actually receptive of it. I have a lot of great friends and I have a butt load of self esteem. Until I look in a mirror. I tell everyone that's I'm pretty, fantastical in every way, smart, and I can believe it all. But in our school there are mirrors all over the walls that say things like "The future of [my state]" and stupid things like that, and whenever I pass one and look at myself in it I feel ugly. Like I don't deserve all of these friends I have. My friends all know guys that have crushes on them, and I'm just the awkward, overweight idiot in the corner. ;n; May I please have a hug?

*Hugs* Sweetheart, being insecure happens. But it's not true. You are beautiful and those mirrors are big butt liars <3



Could I get a hug? I'm a little bit away from having a panic attack because of stuff but yeah. Hug please?

*hugs gently* Aw, don't feel that way. Stuff happens in life. It'll pass.
