Welp.
A good majority of my cats are now gone, off into the world in search of… whatever it is they might be after.
Now I’ve only got a handful left.
Am I a bad caretaker for letting so many of my cats go or— agh, I’m sure it’ll be okay.
I’ll be okay.
@TrustBlingBoy Before I became who I am now, I used to be a debt collector.
I’ve threatened people.
I’ve hurt people.
I’ve killed people.
So please, for your sake and mine, do not threaten me.
Or I can guarantee that you will not be missed for being so antagonistic. Understood?
@TrustBlingBoy If this is meant to be some half-baked threat because I seem weak and unwell to you…
I can assure you that you are sorely mistaken.
I just don’t use violence to solve my problems. Usually.
@TrustBlingBoy …
If I disappeared, a lot of people and other cats would be really sad. I helped a lot of them— even some that wouldn’t have anywhere else to go.
I don’t have any desire to go away anytime soon. Not if I can still help people and cats alike heal and rest safely.
@TrustBlingBoy … What did you want to happen, exactly?
Wanted me to lash out at you? Yell at you? Hurt you?
Regardless, I have no ill will towards you.
So all I can do is apologize for whatever I did to make you feel anger towards me.
@TrustBlingBoy … I don’t think you should be talking to me like that. It’s not very nice.
Even if I’m human, that doesn’t make it okay for you to be all rude.
@zodiacsguns Hmm… not a bad idea, that. A little vacation might help clear my head.
Yeah, I think I’ll do that.
Just need to pack some stuff up for the trip and I’ll take a drive out there.
@zodiacsguns I won’t, don’t worry.
And yeah, you’re right, but I still can’t help but feel this feeling of sadness burrow into my heart.
I’m sure I’ll get over it soon, but man, this just sucks.
@GuillotinaPlush … Right.
I’ll be real careful.
I was gonna ask why you would have a bowling ball, but I don’t even wanna know the answer to that question.
All it’s gonna do is bring up even more questions, honestly.
@CassidyMesmoth Hmm. Might not be a bad idea. Maybe someday I’ll give you a call.
For now though, I think I just need some time to myself to figure out what to do and uh— where to go next.
Maybe I should… go out.
I know there’s many problems out in Boon County, but I’m not even sure where to start.
I just want to be useful again. Is that— is that a weird thing to say?
@zodiacsguns I guess, but— man, when you’ve spent as long as you have with the same cats, you sorta think of them like family.
It hurts to see that family go on their own, is what I’m trying to say.
@GuillotinaPlush Why’re you— ahh, nevermind.
As long as you don’t cause trouble or try to eat any of the other cats that are still here, you’re more than welcome to stay.
I guess I’ll uh. Grab you from the trash bin.
@CassidyMesmoth I used to be the same way, honestly. Most of my world revolved around taking care of my cats.
But now that they’ve all mostly gone off on their own… I guess I need to find new meaning. Or just new cats to care for, hah.
@GuillotinaPlush I can only hope so.
I want for them to be safe, but I can’t seem to find the strength to make them stay home anymore.
Maybe they’ll tell other cats about me, help other cats find their way to me. Cycle repeats that way.
