Introduce Yourself

omg torties are the best<3

that's the kind of kitty my boyfriend's got at his mom's house, her name is Taffy. She's really really old now, losing fur and for some reason keeps scratching her own face. They took her to the vet and gave her medicine but she still does it, they look more like sores than scratches though and they fluctuate between almost disappearing, and then being really obvious and nasty looking. She doesn't likely have much longer to live, but she's an awesome cat. Super friendly and cuddly, she crawled right in my lap and fell asleep when I was sitting on the floor the last time I was there. Everyone was surprised because apparently she never does that to anyone, not even who she lives with. That happens to me a lot though, I seem to have a weird connection with cats, and animals in general. I think they maybe pick up on the fact that I respect them and wish them no harm or annoyance, so they come to me. Not sure.

I'd have soooo many pets if I had the money! I had two ferrets, they were the bomb, I don't care what anyone says. People hate on em cause they're smelly but I think as a ferret owner, you get used to it and learn to love it. I miss my weasels, they were so fun. Gizmo and Stripe. I want to get more again, and another hamster, and a parakeet like I had when I was a lot younger. I barely remember that bird, not even it's name (probably because everyone in the house called it something different) but I remember that he was only ever willing to perch on my fingers, and I was the only one he wouldn't bite when I stuck my hand in the cage. I also really want some type of reptile. Not sure which exactly. But something large.

I also for some reason want a tarantula. I'm flat out terrified to death of spiders, but my science teacher used to have a tarantula named Rosie, and she was lovely. I used to zone out, watching her creep around her cage really slow, or try to find her in her little hut, when I was supposed to be paying attention to class. She never bit anyone, kids would play with her all the time. I only ever held her once, and only for like two seconds and gave it back, cause I was afraid if she made any sudden movements it would scare the fuck out of me and I didn't wanna accidentally drop her or hurt her.

And that there is my rambling novel about pets and information no one will remember or really need to know ever. :D

Introduce Yourself

I saw a straySiamesecat last night and I swear to god I almost cried. he was just frolicking around the parking lot and I called out to him, and he looked back at me and stared for a good 10 seconds or so before scuttling off. I wished I could rescue him sooooo badly but I already have a cat that I have to keep a secret from our room mate, so holding on to two would be really difficult. There are several strays around our neighborhood, I leave food out for them when I can. I leave food for the bunnies too

Introduce Yourself

Well hi. I'm obviously new. I stumbled upon this site accidentally somehow, googling something or other. I think it was actually after I had noticed my hair started dreading all on its own, and I wanted to dye it (I keep my hair black because I used to dye it crazy colors and recently decided to grow it out from being half-shaved, and my natural color is too weird to match), but didn't really want to lose the little babies that were forming on my head. So I googled stuff and found this site, and got lost in it. I decided to actually make an account because I feel like this is a place I might actually belong at.

A little about me, I grew up in a small town in Georgia, that's my home, but these days I work as a tattoo artist in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, I've got a boyfriend who I've been with for 6 months or so, and a cat I recently adopted from craigslist haha. She didn't have a name when I got her, her owner just called her 'M'. I call her Lua and spoil the living fuck out of her.

Obviously I like cats.

Don't know what else to say here much, if you wanna know all my info just look at my profile, don't really feel much need to retype all of that.

So, in conclusion: Hi, I'm the new kid. Hope to make some friends

Dreads and Diets

I've been a vegetarian since I was 16, I'm nearly 19 now. I had wanted to since I was maybe 11 or 12 but my mom wouldn't have it. When I was 16, I left, and that very day I decided never to take a bite of meat again. And I feel so much lighter and healthier because of it. My hair is still soft after 2 or 3 days of not washing, where it used to feel greasy by the end of the day even if I had washed it that morning. My skin is softer, I weigh less, I just feel a lot cleaner. I eat a lot of whole grains, and fruits, probably not quite as many vegetables as I could, but when I can get ahold of them without having to pay a fortune at the store, I gobble them up. Spinach is one of my all time favorites. I don't remember why I ever even wanted to be vegetarian, I've just always hated the taste of meat and they way my body reacted to it, making me lethargic, and I used to get really intense, crippling stomach aches that prevented me from even walking, and I'd get them on a weekly basis. I haven't had that happen at all since being vegetarian. It's like I was meant to be that way, for real.
