Haha, I didn't find that bitchy, I found it hopeful. :?

However, the kittens seem to be getting over the respiratory infection. Once they're no longer sick we're going to introduce them completely to my puppy instead of them just gazing at each other over the bars in the doorway. My puppy actually seems excited and curious about them which makes me excited. :)

I've had daydreams about them moving out and leaving the kittens with us- they're already growing on me a little. Unfortunately I don't think I can handle that much responsibility in my life right now.

cats aren't that much trouble, esp once they mature, which these domestic carnivores do rather quickly. Multiple pets entertain each other, and can be quite entertaining to the humans in the household as well.

Some neurotypical people, certainly not all (and no such thing as 'normal' anyway!) seem to have this sense of humor where it's this teasing oneupsmanship where they don't necessarily mean anything all that bad. I don't really get it, and I don't particularly find it all that funny, other than maybe the mere fact that they find it funny.

On the other hand, it could be the sign of addictive behavior and the beginning of the end. I guess it's not quite as bad as stealing someone else's prescription medication, but it's not all that good either. And so, if they're late paying rent or can't pay at all, drugs may be the reason.


stealing vitamins hardly points to drug addiction, I mean come on vitamins can help supplement a diet...but they aren't that amazing.

I meant to include it as part of a range, but yes, probably a bit of a stretch on my part.

. . . The apartment situation is a little complex because it's actually an apartment building-turned-condo that's owned by my fiance's father, who is renting it to us at a discount. Even with the discount, we can't afford it on our own. It doesn't help that the cost of living where I am is awful. . .

This gives you an Ace. Now, your fiance's father may want to be scrupulously neutral and/or not get involved, so don't overplay the ace. But at the very least it probably gives you the perception of an ace.

What I learned from my participation in political activism is that slightly understating something is the coin of the realm. And this dovetails in nicely with what Moonpenny says about not making a decision when angry.

So maybe, either you or your fiance telling his father something like this, 'Yes, they moved in two cats without talking to us, asking us, saying one word. I mean, what it is, is what it is. Yes, combined with the previous stuff, it is beginning to be a problem.'

The goal is to let the father have the time he needs to wrap his mind around the idea, yes, this is an ongoing, problem-filled situation.

And maybe, 'Not so much that she left the medication out, which could happen to anyone. But the fact that she seemingly was so blithely unconcerned after the fact. And then she threw away the package while I still needed it, I guess to try and cover up her mistake. And that's not so cool at all.'
