Suddenly, Boo is horny.
We thought we were getting a spayed cat, bred out, a new relaxed life after having been a breeder. Something weird went on, we ended up with this wonderful stupid cat just off a kitten, an ex teenage mum. She’s not spayed but she hasn’t been horny until now. We took Pickle off the street and she was like this once a month for ages, but… this is the first time in much more than a month that she’s been on heat. And she’s very demanding. We have shut Misty back in Brian’s room.
The vet counselled delaying the spay until the cats knew each other. So be it. But Boo is so horny she’s just gonna shout now. It’ll be her last one, but then there’s all the business with the cones and the fact that she’s been sealed up… it’s a heck of a thing, but I know from Pickle that modern cats are too many generations into being evolved out of their natural processes that the ones we have tend to get complications pretty quickly. Pickle was in incredible discomfort every time. She would look to us with hope but there was nothing we could do. It’s similar for Boo this time, but I can see she’s not in pain like Pickle was. She just wants a shag.
I finally went through all the crap in my wardrobe. I’ve thrown out loads of clothes I never wear, sorted all my pants… I took a massive bag to the dry cleaners, either of wonderful old things I’ve neglected or fucked up old shirts that were wonderful once. I’m gonna rely on the cleaners to make them good again. I also emptied a bunch of boxes and did a proper full on hinge replacement for my wardrobe. There are some beloved items that I can’t wear until they are fixed – trousers with run through pockets, kimonos with self destruction sleeves… The things I don’t care about are going to charity, the things I do care about are being brought to the front again.
Horny Boo has appeared. She’s gonna try and sleep next to me and stay still. I’m happy and chill, I’ve done my work today, just gonna relax now. Tomorrow hopefully more – Thursday is an excellent day to list things on eBay with ten day listings, and I’m about to spend every fucking penny I’ve got plus extra on tax and fines. My debt to society. Debt.
