More RL

Cat has pneumonia, we think, is up to nearly $1000 in tests so far. Is also making up for years of being extremely low-maintenance with a huge burst of neediness. Subsequently I am behind on everything.

Will finish up both beta projects I have by tomorrow night, then can get back into some solid writing. Then I can start on the thousand-odd comments I am behind on and remember to give some more people some love, such as no_mad_skillz, who is thoughtful and compassionate, who_la_hoop, who is hilarious and possibly my secret love child, and spark_of_chaos, who I like for so much more than her F1 obsession -- but I love that, too because we can rave at each other crazily in a few weeks and she will wholly understand the Finn fetish (it's a Baltic thing).

Poor kitty! And poor you. I hear you on the pet bills. We have to take our dog in to get his teeth cleaned to the tune of $500 or so. *sighs* I hope your little one ends up recovered and healthy. It's hard with animals - you just wish you can make them understand somehow so they won't be scared. But I have to admit I grinned at the image of you chasing her around, all wringing-hands and anxious face. Because I am evil like that and laugh at the misfortune of others.

And ha! about the F1 obsession because my husband is a huge F1 fan and I have, over the years, come to know far more about it than I ever thought I would. Mark always laughs at me because I have favourite drivers because of their driving skills and favourite drivers because they are the cutest. Somehow, he doesn't feel the latter should be part of my judging criteria. And I say please. Alonso clearly waxes his eyebrows. It IS all about the looks!

I think he waxes his eyeBROW in a bid to achieve eyebrows.

But yes, I used to wish Fisichella was a better driver so I could see him more often. I do love Kimi, but he's not that pretty. The World Rally drivers actually have a far higher hotness quotient.

Min is not scared, she's annoyed. She seems to believe that the not being able to breathe thing is somehow my fault, so she sits and glares at me for hours, but she is also smart enough to know that I am helpful when it is severe, so she will come and sit on me when she is having a bad attack so that I can help her out. Which means I have had very little sleep this week.

But yes, I am the over-protective cat owner -- another reason not to have kids. ("Mum, we put up with the home schooling, but you have to let us leave the house to attend uni, don't make us take you to court!")

Ah cat glare. I was going to say this is why I prefer dogs, because they don't do that to you. But then I thought of my dog giving me his ridiculous "what did I do to make you stop loving me" eyes whenever I pass him over for Ben. Or his hopeful "are we finally going to go for a walk - it's been two DAYS!" dance every time I walk by the door. Oh the guilt. Maybe the glaring would at least make me a little cross, shore me up against the guilt...

I have to say that I deal with cat evil so much better than dog guilt. And the pathetic trust that dogs have in you to fix situations ... I nearly stole a puppy last week because it was convinced that I would untie it from the post it had been left at for too long and take it somewhere nice, it kept taking its leash in its mouth and tugging, then looking at me hopefully while wagging its tail.

On the few occasions Min has seemed grateful, it has seemd the most monumental achievement.
