Cat Lady
usedbooks on Aug. 17, 2023
Relocating takes SOOOOOOO long. I've had withdrawal from lack of a creative outlet the last few months. -_- I finally got internet in my house and found a pencil, a few pieces of paper (but not what I usually use), and my scanner, so I can at least draw something.
I'm settled pretty well into my new job but many of my personal belongings are still in storage, many things need unpacked, and my cats are still with my parents. I miss them terribly. Due to scheduling and travel, it will be a few more weeks before they can join me. My dogs got to stay with me for the entire moving process. But as a cat lady, I sorely miss my cats Lily, Zenigata, and Sylvia.
Anyway, this is one of the original short stories I wrote way back in January. As I wait for my felines, at least I can draw some kitties as I present “Cat Lady.”

All the reasons why I hate moving in a nutshell - I've lived surrounded by cardboard boxes for longer than I care to remember. Even though, a new, fresh chapter in your life surely has some positive sides as well. Also, your cats will be there to keep you company after some time, if I read you correctly, and that's cool. (I can relate all too well to how much it sucks to have to live without a cat all of a sudden, ever since mine went to the eternal mousing grounds at the ripe old age of 18. Also, my current job keeps me on the move so much that any pet at all is out of question.) Good luck with your new home and job and everything else!

Thank you! Yes, all my animals except the hens I used to have will join me soon. I rehomed my hens (moving livestock to a new state is tricky) but will be getting new ones.

Hope your kitties rejoin you soon.

Was wondering when this one was coming back.

This is a lot easier to update than Used Books. But I hope to be able to update that again soon too.

Is this one autobiographical?

Maybe in the future...
