I love animals so much. All of them but cats are the best

Edit: Hmm. Hot day ahead. I might peg out this wet washing now so I don’t have to do it in the morning. Currently night owling. Maybe I’ll knock out another load now just to empty this stupid hamper faster.

Ugh. I had washed some poster paint off a tshirt to save it from staining but left it sitting wet for days and it reeks. I’m soaking it but don’t think I want it to go through my washing machine. Might just throw it out.

I hope the washer isn’t bothering the neighbours fish (seen in window). I’d have fish for Melbcat to watch but could not manage the regular tank maintenance so I don’t.

I'd love to keep seahorses, but that's an extra tricky tank so on the probably never list...

Oh man I can’t imagine maintaining anything exotic

I love cats too

When I lived in Ballarat, I used to go to the animal shelter once a week and spend time with the cats. Kind of a yearning for not having a cat in the vicinity for (literally) the first time in my entire life. They had floor to ceiling cages with 5 cats in each. They also had a couch in there, obviously intended for the cats, but nobody minded if you chilled out on it and brought treats for the cats
