Bought two weeks ago, it was watered regularly. We had noticed it was already quite dry and losing needles but we didn’t realized it was just completely dead.

Tonight, I tried to remove some fragile ornaments because I’m cat sitting a cat who uses anything as a toy. The whole tree started shading.

Probably my last real tree as this is just too sad. My only consolation is that my kids have left to spend Christmas with their dad so they didn’t have to see this.

So disappointed! And he kept tilting his head from side to side every like 20 seconds so I couldn't adjust myself to get a view. Hope he enjoyed the show lol

They are made of cardboard. What a cruel joke. I can still give it to someone all the numbers can be read if you hold it together. Just makes for a shitty presentation.

Life has been really hard since Helene last year.. First we lost our entire apartment space and we're stuck in a livingroom. Then we lost a baby, I got into two car accidents 3 weeks apart, the orange you see above, got diagnosed with asthma and prescribed an inhaler, and then to top it all off my dog died in four days of being diagnosed with IMHA, bonus points for the fact we got kicked out of our already small space and stuck in an even smaller one.

All that being said, I know my cats are stressed, I'm stressed, being trapped in this tiny room while we've been slowly but surely trying to clean out the basement apartment (prior hoarding situation), and in all that we've had a oven catch on fire, got sick from the mold twice, which takes an insane amount of time to get better from, and I fell on ice leaving work, and believe me when I say, I would rather fall on asphalt 20 times in a row than ever fall on pea gravel again.

Anyway, on to the point, overnight we tend to keep the window open to keep fresh air circulating, the window is tall, so base is only about a foot from the floor, and the cats love to sit in the open window sill..

We have no idea what he saw outside, but he started howling, which he's done before, and I know this sounds mean, but to prevent him destroying the screen, we usually use a squishmallow and remove him from the window area and close it.

Last night, he started growling, my husband went to get him out of the window and I guess before he had a chance my female cat came to investigate and he just let her have it.

Thankfully it wasn't a true fight, neither of them have any cuts or bite marks anywhere on them, no bleeding whatsoever either. But that doesn't change the fact that she's clearly scared of him right now. These two have been inseparable since they met almost 5yrs ago.

The worst part, he's not having an easy time calming down, and it's making the entire situation worse, it sucks, but I'm really thinking about temporarily rehoming him, until we can get things situated, and honestly, if he settles into his new place and is happy... As much as it would destroy me, I would leave him, his happiness and comfort along with hers are very important to me. So much so, I just went and spent almost $200 I really didn't want to spend in an attempt to "fix" this situation while we finish cleaning the basement and they can have more space

You can’t see it but the on/off button is stuck down and I had to push a very particular spot on it to turn it on before I got a new one (the one used to take the photo).

My favorite pen and my favorite shirt got in a fight today. Not brave enough to enter the pocket protector world yet though.

These people are so insecure. Can't let people celebrate their own festival...

Stumbled across this being sold at a Wal-Mart.

One of my cats vanished last night. I didn't latch the inside garage door (it has stiff weatherstripping, so sometimes it closes buy doesn't catch). I noticed the door open later, and one of my cats was in the garage, but the other is gone.

The two outside doors weren't open, and it's a concrete block house, so there aren't any holes for her to get out. No meowing, no smell of poop or pee, the food i left in there for her hasn't been touched.

They're all indoor cats, generally terrified of going outside (they don't even like to get close to the front door when it's opened). I don't know what could have happened to her.

SHE'S BACK!

For some reason I can't edit the post on my phone. My garage is a disaster, and I'm low on hemoglobin so I don't have the energy to move anything. My brother came over and looked for me, and found her huddled in a corner under some boards. He sort of built a runway and got her to come back inside, where she promptly hid under the bed, but is back safely.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and well wishes.

Finger is swollen. I am on antibiotics (Amoxicillin). He fell in the water and I saved him by jumping in. He bit me so hard.

I absolutely L.O.V.E packaging things. It’s so calming and ✨relaxing✨ that I could honestly do this all day…🥲

Why are people like this? Me and my siblings are now trying to get money together between the 3 of us for her to replace her windows and help replace gifts for the kids.
