thank you grandad
I would also like to pay my respects to my dad’s grandad. He was conscripted by the German army in infantry, captured as a POW by the Soviets and was kept in a gulag until after the war. His family thought he was dead, until he turned up at home one day. He never ate in front of anyone ever again.
May everyone who fought in the war for the allies, and for those who had no choice, rest in peace. We’re proud of you.

Oh no. The black kitty has heard some noise and come to sit on my doorstep wanting to be let in.
Not a big deal except I’m kind of trapped inside due to trying to avoid him and prevent him from dashing inside. It feels terrible but I’m pretty sure he’s not been treated for the ringworm (and could still be contagious if he had), also I’m trying not to encourage him away from his owners.
I don’t have a plan honestly. I just don’t know. For now I’m just trying to stay inside as much as possible to rest and sort my own life out. But if he doesn’t get vet treatment and it continues becoming my problem I may have to start reporting to RSPCA or the council. Which I don’t want to and don’t think will improve matters but may eventually be forced to.
Because I am still treating the first round of infection I caught. It’s so hard to get rid of. 😑 FFS people, take your cat to the vet or even just use the expensive medicines I left on your doorstep which you received. Why are you making this poor animal my problem

I would be caring for the cat as an outside cat, I would wear long pants , forget the neighbours, they just do not care
first feed him up and get trust, then get drops to put in food
but mainly don’t stress, he’s a cat
set achievable goals, you don’t have to look after him perfectly, good enough is good enough
and really, sometimes caring for someone else is a good way to destress

If it were me and was that worried I’d worry about yourself melba and ignore the cat if you can… if you feel your health is at risk it’s you first.
I know you’ve just lost your special cat, but if this new one is affecting your mental state, then preserving that mental state is the most important thing.
Perhaps there’ll be another kitty soon in the future.

I agree. My own stuff is enough to deal with for now.
Problem is I’m trying to avoid and ignore him, but he sometimes blocks me into my house because I’m trying to avoid physical contact and he’s waiting near the door to actively pursue it. It’s stressing me out. As is the idea of continuing to nag or confront neighbours (I don’t know these people and have had some dangerous experiences/sustained harassment in the past).
I’m very much not trying to adopt or take in the cat. I’m trying to make his owners take him to the vet and treat him so he stops reinfecting me.
I’ve just tried to submit a report to the RSPCA with photos and a video from my phone but it’s hanging on send. I’ll try again later on the computer.

I have a young pic of my grandpa but due to resemblance it’s a bit doxable to post. He was an Anzac. I’m not sure of the exact historical details or whether there has been any stretching of the truth but I’m told he was sent in as ground troops after Hiroshima, and the radiation is why he was bald for the rest of his life.

My gramps (WW2) never said many words about his time over there.
The only real story he’d happily tell was in tobruk, they captured a bunch of italian doctors and locked them up. Doctors were separated and kept in the doctors quarters away from general.
Every night they let the italian docs out (although they were let out almost whenever they wanted), they’d sit around, drink, smoke and share medical techniques.
They all wrote to each other for years after the war.
He also strictly prohibited anyone in the family going to the parades which was interesting. Didn’t give a reason, just went silent when asked.

I remember last time i was sick for days like this and hardly ate anything I got a quartet chicken and chips from my local charcoal chicken when I finally felt better. It tasted so good, I can still remember it.
I need to think about where I’m going to go when I get over this one

I’m so tired from this virus.
a big bowl of minestrone would be nice, in a few days some rich curry with homemade naan would be good

A week after I had all my wisdom teeth out I was really excited to be eating a kebab. I was staving and I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to chew properly so I started crying.
