This is something I’ve wanted since moving in!
Only 10 years after buying it did I finally find a good place to do it and fint the help to get it done. Better late than never, right?
I got a doggy dor to go outside, and a much smaller cat door so the dogs can not get in there (not even tiny tott Nala, cause it is a big high up)
Kili is a HUGE cat, but cats are little escape artists. Uf theur head fits, they get through! He not only fit, but so smart he figured it out instantly without even shiwing him how to do it
Frodo too. Sam needed a bit convincing but did learn first day. Mew took a few days. Note: Eevee is not even in that area. Mew is usually with Eevee, but get to go oit with the boys in the daytime. Night time and while I’m out he is with Eevee.
The dogs needed more time. Zelda figured it out after a day, but the other two was scared of the flapp. I secured the flap in a open position for a week, then pushed them through back and forth untill they realized the flapp can easilly be moved if they just push on it. It helped, now they all run in and out as much as they want
I let the cats be out all night, since they can now retreat inside if they get cold. The area outside is fenced in so safe for them all. And thiugh super hard to get over (extra high fence on second floor) I don’t trust to leave the door open. I have done it when home, but didn’t sleep well when I did.
Now they got the option to go out day and night, any weather and even in winter (when too cold to leave the door open)
The dogs sleep in my bed. Partly cause I want to, partle cause I have to. If the cats run and play it triggers them to bark. Can’t let them bark at night ^^;

Eevee 24.4.2006 - 14.7.2024
My precious baby girl passed away this morning
She was 18 years old, and her health has been on a decline.
I’ve had her since birth. She was born in my lap, and she died in my lap.
She has been with me my entire adult life.
Even though I have many other pets, no one can fill the void she left. The oldest remaining pet is not even half her age. Most are under 1/3 her age.
She was the last link to my mother, the only one she had met (and lived with for 8 years even) My mother passed 10 years ago, and Eevee was ny great comfort through that time.
We had the strongest bond. She was my precious. I live my other pets, but there is always that one who just steals yoir heart completely

I’m very sorry this happened.
Eevee was an absolutely wonderful cat with great musical abilities (I was very deeply impressed by that video of her as a kitten playing a thriller music on a keyboard) and we will all miss her.
She was your family member, and losing a family member is always extremely hard, I know this from experience. Please, accept my sincerest condolences.
One thing that might be able to help you get through this – is the fact that she had a great long and happy life with you. She was very lucky to have such a responsible, loving and caring owner as you.
May all the other members of your wonderful pet fam also live long and happy lives with you!

I made the tough decision to rehome one of my cats, Sam.
I took him in as a 5 year old who needed a new home. He is so beautiful and super sweet.
I gave it a full year, but he just wasn’t thriving.
He didn’t bond with any of the other cats, and kept to himself. Kili and Frodo sometimes gave him a hard time too, not fighting, but he took their attempts to play as attacks.
The only cat he went well with was Eevee.
Since her passing he was just misserable.
He loves attention when I searched him up, but he kept hiding cause of the other cats so didn’t come to me. I managed to find a home where he can be the only pet and get all the attention. Now he should be able to thrive.
Lots of cute photos of Sam

I’m very sorry he was unable to make friends with your other pets, I think your decision, as hard as it must have been, is the right one.
May he find happiness in his new home!
And may all your other pets always live in peace and harmony with you and each other!

Last week I was on summer camp again (same as last years)
Skeiv Funkis Sommerleir - Queer Disabled Summer Camp
It was a BLAST!! Just love it!
Got some great friends last year, met most of them again this year. There were new people as well who I feel I got a good connection with and hope to see again =D
It is a summer camp for adults (not exclusively, believe one of the people I hung with last year was underage) Not sure what the ages are, but most seemed to be 20-40, with some being older. Not sure we had younger this year.
I was on the Drag and Burlesque group, where we learn how to move in sexy ways, some coreogrophy and drag makeup (both king and queen)
And the main attraction is a show on the Saturday (camp is Monday-Sunday)
Last year I met a new friend who I noined up with and we were seen as the most “explosive” act (super energetic) and put near the end. This year they put us dead last before we even decided what song, knowing we could pull it off again
The show is a huge mix of amatures (like myself, I’m just having fun) and actually very talanted people.
The camp itself is just super inclusive and great at fulfilling everyones needs. You feel safe there, not mater your queernes or disability. No one judges (or if they do know to keep it to themselves)
The mask (autistic masking) can be droped and just play and have pure fun.
I felt a bit worn out after, and then this morning got told someone tested positive for corona.
This is the first time I even test myself, never needed it before (I can be a hermit at times =P )
It was positive. So yay, my first round of the Rona. Luckilly vaccinated, inckuded boosters as late as last November. I already feel better and only got very mild symptoms.

I’m very glad you like it at that camp, may you have many more happy times there!
And I’m very sorry to hear you’ve got the Virus, but I’m glad it’s only mild. May it get healed soon and may there be no scary side effects!
May the Great Cat of Health purrotect you and those around you, including your meowgnificent pet fam!
