Quote from: Shen Li on February 14, 2026, 10:23:33 PMYes, she is. However, the real problem is that she is so terrified of strangers she won't eat or drink.

 Thats pretty common. Usually the super friendly cats are male. Boy cats will be anyone's best friend. They are great pets.

 Females take some effort and some wooing. 

 If you look for people who take in fosters, youll find someone hopefully who is skilled and patient enough to help her adjust.

 Where ever she goes she will need to be kept separate and stimulated at certain times so she can adjust to the smells and the schedule. Cats like this wont starve themselves to death....theyll eventually eat when they know they are going to be left alone and they are safe in that moment.

 I had one like this who crawled up into the couch and stayed there. I had to cut the couch open to get her out and I put her in the bathroom with a bed, a litter box and fresh food. It took a while but she relaxed a lot.

 It just takes patience and consistency. Once the cat knows what to expect they relax a lot.

There is another problem. Patchy can only understand Chinese.

Mom is getting offers on the house, so when it's sold she's moving here. I have to decide on something. Here she is.

 What a beautiful kittie 

I love to redo furniture. I've done a few pieces so far.

But i saw this one down in the basement (its horrifying down there....never mind how nasty that area is. It's on my agenda lol) and I drug it up stairs

Im going to make this a deep eggplant/aubergine color with vintage brass knobs. I have a few repairs to do...fix a few dents, glue the inner part of the draws back together...but this is going to look cool.

Im going to paint the trim with the same color but im going to add a few drops of black so it's just barely two tones.

I have it sanded and washed. It took me a few hours, dawn dish soap and mineral spirits to get the layers upon layers of dirt off this thing. Manfriend said its been down there for 30 years!

So this is my current project. I have my Squish helping me. She LOVES doing everything with me that I do lol.

 Current situation



 I just gotta wait for Amazon to deliver my wood filler.  I think im going to darken the aubergine color im using with extra black and paint the insides of the drawers. I have lavender infused drawer liner ♡

 I drug this motherfucker up from the basement by myself ...man worked all last night so he is out cold. It was easy until I got to the top lol

I found this hilarious. I had to buy this for Eddie.

They also had Fursace and PUCCI

I used to be into going to yard sales and buying old furniture and restoring it. It stopped being interesting.
