Pet Mom to Quincy, Aziraphale, Winifred Sanderson, and Yadi. Disabled Girly Trying to Survive.
I did not paint like I planned yet again (someone make me paint a picture!). I chose to cuddle the $2700 kitten who hopefully is on the mend now. Here she is, trying to make sure she has found every last morsel of her wet food (she needs to gain weight badly, she is dangerously underweight.):

Lexington cannot confirm nor deny biting the hand that literally fed her lifesaving food today. She would also like to know whether being bundled into a towel burrito against her will can be considered a war crime or not. Thank you. #fip #cats #kittens

We’re gonna be incredibly bonded by the end of this. Or Lexington is just gonna look at me like this for the end of time: #fip #kittens

I had to burrito her to do it today. She HATES it. The louder protest meows fill me with joy though because that’s the most activity I’ve seen from her and it gives me a little hope that Lexington has a chance. That she wants to fight to survive. #fip #kittens

Lexington is back from the hospital as of yesterday. She’s eating a little but not much, so I’ve been syringe feeding her extra calorie prescription recovery food. #fip #kittens

Lexington isn’t doing well. I was fully convinced this morning she was going to die from #FIP despite my going $2500 in debt so far to try to save her. She ate a little last night. There might be hope.

This was Lexington’s feelings on the vet’s tests today. She thinks all of it is BS.

But the other option is letting it kill her. So on the credit card it goes, with thanks that it’s not going to be $3000 as I’d feared. Just hundreds to a thousand at most. I’m both relieved and cautious and anxious about my baby. #fip #kittens #cats

My cat Lexington has FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). There is a cure & it’s only recently legal in the US. It used to be thousands of dollars. Now it will be hundreds + hundreds in vet bills. It will still take me ages to pay it off on my credit card though given my part time work. #cats #fip

Guess who has parasites, an upper respiratory infection, and also doesn’t pay her own vet bills?

(It’s her. Lexington. $145 later.)

Lexington (5 mos, F) and her big sister Winifred Sanderson (2 yrs, F). Sometimes they remember they’re supposed to provide me with emotional support and cuddle me at the same time. Sometimes.

I saw a video on ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) which are little trading card sized paintings some artists sell online for a small sum for everyone to become art collectors w/o being priced out. It also encourages impulse paintings. Might give it a go sometime. (This is one of my pieces.)

My newest roomie: Lexington (Lexi for short) just moved in a little over a week ago. Her middle name is AndConcord.

Introducing…Lexington (Lexi for short). She’s almost 4 months old, and she immediately found Quincy’s favorite solo napping spot in my bedroom on the first day, sniffed it thoroughly, and immediately took a nap there. 🥹 Her middle name is AndConcord. #cats

RIP Quincy (2008-2025), 17 years of the smartest, nosiest little shit of a best friend and soul cat I could have ever had in my life. She leaves a huge hole in my heart. I’m so grateful you picked me. We hugged for the longest time before you passed in my arms. Run free & easy my love, my baby girl.
August 19, 2025 at 2:03 AM
I love you my baby Girl. My Quincy. My Soul Kitty. I can only hope she either finds her way back to me in the form of another orange girl kitten or finds the right orange girl kitten to be her rightful successor as ruler of the household. ❤️Quince

Or knead my stomach. Or blurrt back and forth with me in conversation. Who’s going to try to steal my ice cream now? Or my roast beef? I can’t breathe when I think about not having Quincy in my life. My little Puss in Boots. I’m soaking up every moment I can until Monday.
August 15, 2025 at 3:12 AM
Her nickname as a young cat was Damn It Quincy. I named her after Quincy Massachusetts, after the town where John Adams was from. She’s been with me since she was a few months old. I don’t know what I’ll do when she’s not there to sleep between my legs Monday night.
August 15, 2025 at 3:12 AM
She is the best cat I could have ever adopted and Quincy is the best cat name for her. She is intelligent and talkative. She once took down a fly in mid air after my mother promised her $10 if she could get it. She stole a whole rotisserie chicken carcass over the counter and ran away with it once.

My 17 year old cat Quincy is dying of cancer. I have to put her to sleep on Monday. I am devastated and I cannot begin to fathom how to deal with her being gone. She is my baby girl. My favorite. My emotional support cat. I feel like I’m made of lead and I can’t stop crying.

@moviessilently.bsky.social Thanks to a chance find on eBay (that I can’t afford to buy rn but still a great find lol), I found a 2nd silent film studio in St. Louis! Atlas Manufacturing Company!

We made red, white, and blue friendship bracelets after. I hope it got them thinking about the rest of the document and maybe even interested in learning more about the history.

I got cookies from Grandmas Cookies today (June’s flavor of the month is strawberry crunch!) and the pets asked me to share. Quincy here (age 17 next week) is actually outright demanding. #pets #cats

Practicing English paper piecing for fiber arts day at work. It’s really nice to just mindlessly knock out a few hexies while watching tv. Got the batik fabric at Joann’s. Might make this into a quilt when I make three milling more hexagons lol. 🤣
