beth is away for a few days so i'm looking after madam molly. tbh aside from the Night Yelling she's pretty chill and easy to care for. she's a little senile, but her wants are simple. food, water, play, cuddle. thankfully our walls are thick so the neighbours can't hear her Howling at 3am

bottle cap on the stairs is molly's favourite game. pretty impressive, considering she's 16 and arthritic!

we froze a tube treat for him last summer, and he kept trying to bite it and then making this face because it was cold 🥺

why sleep when i can cry over this video of zaz? he wasn't even 5 yet, he should still be here 😭 he was a once-in-a-lifetime cat, and it was an honour to have loved him 🖤

my mother decided to give me the gift of parenthood this christmas. bloody needy little buggers, aren't they? anyway meet francis. they've been alive since 9am, so you could say i'm killing it as a parent 😎👉👉 #tamagotchi

zaz deteriorated over the last week. he unexpectedly developed pancreatitis after his biopsy and yesterday we had to say goodbye to him. he wasn't quite 5.

rest in peace to the sweetest, silliest dingus boy. we are heartbroken and he will be so missed 🖤

zaz had his surgical biopsy on tues. it's been a rough few days trying to manage his pain (fentanyl + gabapentin = too zonked to eat) but he got his patch off today and is feeling better. plus he has a very fashionable new haircut!

molly has been taking up 2/3 of the couch instead of sleeping in her beanbag nest. it's not even that warm in the lounge bc we have aircon. upstairs in the bedrooms however... it's 25 degrees currently

zaz has eaten all of his food and all of molly's food, and is now convinced that he's starving because there is no food. we have tried to point out that this is because it is all in his tummy, but he doesn't believe us. we are clearly starving him #cats

zaz has to have another ultrasound on the 8th, bc he's started puking again. if his bowel has atrophied he may need a specialist surgery. poor boy hasn't even grown his hair back yet. he's only gained 30g since surgery so we need to try and fatten him up a bit. he's such a hazard to himself #cats

i'm sorry you're having a rough time! here is a pic of lottie the tortie! she lives with my parents and is the sweetest little moosh 🖤

zaz 🖤

technically zaz is beth's (flatmate) cat, but i am his favourite human. back during the covid lockdown i lived with moksha and i was also her favourite. oh to be loved by a dingus black cat 🖤

just had a shower and while i was drying off molly started howling. not sure if she wanted to use the litterbox, or if she was upset that both humans had gone upstairs. either way nothing like the sound of an elderly cat going AWOWOWOWOWO to relax you before bed

this is the face of a man who has had two major abdominal surgeries to remove a blockage in 11 months. he's recovering well and very happy to be free of his satellite dish collar. azazel, pls stop eating things you cannot digest, i beg you

my flatmate's cat (zaz) loves to chase origami stars. i remembered tonight that i have this old ashtray from my nana's black cat ornament collection. he is perfect for holding said paper stars! he's a little derpy like zaz, but we love him anyway 🖤

beach day in my hometown with my besties! this is us on a weird rocking horse thing with multiple seats, that's been there since at least the 90's

i'm visiting my hometown currently, and enjoying spending time with bella (18) and lottie (10?)

caught up with my aunty tina & her partner sue when they stopped by wellington on their way to nelson. after checking out cuba st, we went and saw sense & sensibility at the circa theatre. an all-woman cast, very funny and with a feminist twist! highly recommend going to see it 💜
