potential money drain

I know I shouldn't, but I am suck a sucker for orphaned cats. AwesomeBoss says this cat is rescued from abuse & fat coworker says cat is neutered and seems nice. I gave fat coworker my # but no contact grrrr. Fattie is not very bright & neither is her grown kid. Idiot grown kid is keeping this cat outside with sub-20 degrees F temp at night. I can't even find out if this cat has claws... nevermind such important things as worming or feline leukemia exposure or not. Hell I don't even have a gender. Female they think.
This poor cat needs to be rescued from these idiots! But I don't know what to do!
Mom is willing to take the cat in if I handle the vet bills. This doesn't help me make a choice. If the cat & I get along I'll likely adopt it. My current baby will not be pleased tho.
The problem is where am I gonna keep this cat while the standard medicals are done? I know nothing about this cat's health because the current owners are morons! And I don't want to expose my current kitties to anything dangerous.
And omg I'm gonna need money. Vets ain't cheap. Maybe this will get me drawing? It's not like my job pays much. And rumor has it hours will be cut again. One poor coworkker is down to 13 hours a week. So many part-timers. Less than part time. The few full timers get all the hours. If I could get enough hits to make a mere $5 a week from my comic, that's still $20 I would never have had otherwise.
Every penny helps. I got kitties to care for! Time to stop being such a lazy ass!

  1. If you can afford to and it will not place you in the position where you cannot afford to care for all of them adequately then I'd say go for it.

    It it's going to put you in financial strife and mean that you can't afford to vet in an emergency or expose your kitties to illnesses then I'd say help them find it a home with someone else. Your kitties take priority!

    If hours are going to be cut I wouldn't take the risk on it until after hours have been confirmed. What if they get cut and you're stuck with hundreds in vet bills? Help re-home it but you have to put yourself and your kitties first. Cats are tough but geeze that's cold out! Give them a blanket and a box for the poor bastard.

    Fuck I lost your comic URL. Can has again? You could link it from your blog sidebar too. . . ;)


    Sorry to be all 'bucket of cold water' today. I've been watching Kirk get into deeper financial trouble all fucking year coz the fucking idiot won't budget and I don't want you stuck in the same situation on the other side of the world where I can't turn up with care packages of tinned tomatoes and baked beans :(

    You're right about the writing. Next year I'm going to get sponsored too so I can raise more money for the OLL. I've been using the goodsearch link and I've donated $USD35 but they're still 400,000 short of covering operating costs. Less than 8% of people participating have donated FFS! Do they not want NaNo to come back?

    If I could have any job I wanted it would be to make a living from making things up and writing them down. Telling stories. Creatig things.

    You're right, money can't buy happy. Look at all those moron heiresses and celebs who are famous for being famous starving and drugging and puking and drinking their pain away. Fuck that shit!

    For holidays I get the equivalent of 4 weeks plus any lieu days for public holidays that I work. And I work ALL OF THEM. MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!

    Omfg yes we should do something where we find out what little creative baby projects people on Blogger have and shamelessly advertise them. Like an shop or Mich's book or your comic. THAT WOULD BE EPIC.

    Thank you for the nice words. I have to remember that my brains' BS is irrelevant. Lol I pout like that a bit, especially at work when I'm hyped on caffiene and being a dick. Once I did gangnam style and various disco moves in full view of customers, and when I realised they could see me I was all like 'Nothing to see here' *poker face* *back to work* oh dear gods we get up to some weird shit on Sundays.

    Love you so much Honour. You're amazing and I love you to bits. Love you more than coffee and bacon. YES MORE THAN BACON!

  2. P.S.

    Oh shit I forgot you're not really following the pony art tumblrs so you wouldn't have heard the news about paypal's assholery.

    Longs story short: Jitters stood up for MissJay when a bunch of fuckwads started hassling Jay telling them that since they were 'popular' now they shoul dchnage their entire style to be more conventional. They got ALL of Jay's art tumblrs shut down, and have started targeting Jitters.
    Jitters' SOLE INCOME AND LIVLIHOOD is from doing art and taking commissions and selling Tshirts related to his (Transman so he) Discord Whooved blog.
    What these people did to Jitters was lie to Paypal saying that Jitters was taking donations for illegal porn on a blog that wasn't even related to his paypal account, and in fact was linked to another persons' account.
    Paypal shut Jitters' account with nearly $400 in it and Jitters won't see the money for 6months, if ever. This was rent/bills/food money.
    It seems that Paypal does this a LOT. If you leave a bunch of money in the account they claim you have violated rules and shut it down and you never get your money. Your customers don't get refunds either. Since there are no real alternatives yet they have been getting away with this for fucking ever.

    Currently saga strartys on bottom pf p16, but jitters is very active so you may have to page back a bit

    Um yeah I guess 'Beware of the trolls' and 'Don't let them stop you' and 'You're a BAMF like Jitters' and 'Use something other than paypal OR empty it as soon as you get money in it' or 'Use something other than paypal' there are alternatives, just not popular YET.

    As for SUAP and their bitchings about 'bad anatomy' etc I LOVED Jay's style and CARTOONS DON'T NEED RL ANATOMY FFS and I'm INCREDIBLY PISSED about losing LMR's storyline and not being able to find out. DID APPLEJACK BEAT ABADDON OR WHAT OMFG I NEED TO KNOOOOOOW!


    WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!1111!

  3. They say it's been fixed but they're not sure which gender?! That's seriously WEIRD.

    I'm a sucker for strays, too! It's how I ended up with my little ginger boy. Fortunately, apartment limits and having a bird keep me in check when my heart gets yanked on by every big-eyed fuzzball I see.
