    I was sitting out there for so long with Melbcat. Eventually I had to just call it and carry her back inside.

    This probably can’t be a regular thing. I’m trying to bring her as much happiness as possible but she can’t stay out there for as long as she wants because it ends up being indefinite, and at some times it’s not smart for us to be out there.

    If she goes out again it needs to be on a half hour timer and only when it’s appropriate.

    Reason - it’s not safe

    I can’t have catproofing. 2-3 hours of sitting was past my endurance and I ended up lying flat on the concrete trying not to pass out with exhaustion. And while we were outside, a nutjob neighbour (who used to frequently attack people and tried to harm Melbcat in the past by throwing poison bait into my yard) was moving around nearby. I ended the outside time to ensure I didn’t accidentally fall asleep with the cat loose and them around. This why I’m so reluctant to have us sit outside. I can’t reliably supervise and don’t want her escaping, especially around this person.

    Also the way that commenter talked to me yesterday was kinda weird and fucked. Dropping in as an American on an Aussie thread to make a random aggressive/judgemental comment and then tell me I was making excuses about having a disability… not cool.

    In future I shouldn’t be so chill or justify myself to randoms, just save my energy and block.
