I know youāre probably not a āhuggyā kind of person (Iām not either) but I would totally give you one of my physically awkward A-frame shouldery hugs right now.
Heās always got water, I went out for bins and made sure the gravity dispenser was refilled. And thereās another dead maggie so unfortunately I think heās a very good hunter :(
Iām just trying not to get too attached to him because my goal would have to be making him an inside cat, and even if I could handle the extended strain of quarantine ringworm treatmentā¦ He showed me he would not accept that life.
Taking care of him ācasuallyā as an outside cat is quite challenging as well.
spoiler
Even just feeding him means him coming and rubbing up on you with the ringworm, which requires a makeshift gown up and full body antifungal scrub after. And you have to meet him directly with the food whenever he randomly shows up, which could be suddenly any time, because if food is left out other animals get it within a minute. Not kidding. The birds pick it clean in the day and a fox eats it at night.
Dropping the food and going back inside wouldnāt work as he seems more interested in affection and will eagerly run up on you.
Maybe at some point I might be more able to engage but right now Iāve kind of curled in on myself and am not really functioning. It also feels like a betrayal of Melbcat. Iām feeling terrible like Iāve dumped him but trying to just give myself a break during this time.
