paraka: Severus Snape is having a bad day. (HP-S-Bad Day)
I know I've made little whiny mentions that I want to move out of my parents house, but I think I've finally hit the end of my rope. I am so angry right now I'm crying.

God.

So I just had a fight with my family.
As I've mentioned before, I have a cat. I almost didn't move back home because of the cat, but in the end, my parents said to bring her. And, everyone fell in love with Tigger. My dad and sister adore her, and my mom, who hates cats, has been caught snuggling her. Despite all this, I'm the one who has to do all the work to take care of her. If she throws up or something (she's getting old, so it happens), they'll leave if for me to clean up, even if I'm not there when it happens and everyone else in the house is. My mom, who I think is delusional, is always harassing me to clean her littler box, because she thinks it stinks, even if I just cleaned it the other day. About the only thing I don't do is feed her, but that's just because other people seem to do it before me. I used to it all the time, but, well, Tigger loves food, and it's the fastest way to her heart.

The thing is, she's kind of loud. Especially in the morning. The thing is, normally you just leave her to it, or snag her into bed and snuggle her, and she's quiet in no time, but the rest of my family isn't patient. They got into the habit of feeding her whenever she meows in the morning, and now, it's one of the only ways to shut her up. I am not a morning person, so days I get up and let her out of my room while still asleep, other times I sleep right through it. Often it's my little sister who gets annoyed enough to go do something. But she bitches about it endlessly. God, I hate her whining more than Trigger's. She'll come into my room and sit on my bed and snuggle with my cat, which can be quite distracting, and then complain to me about how annoying she is.

Well apparently she's taken it up one level, and now my parents are blaming me for it. There is nothing I can do in the morning to stop Tigger, not really. But they're saying if I don't get her to stop they're going to have her put down.

Over my dead body.

So yes, I think it's time I moved.

paraka: A cheeta sitting up (NF-Cheeta)
So, I have a cat, her name is Tigger, and I love her very, very much, but god she can be demanding!

She has this horrible habit of waking up at like 5:30am, and meowing until someone gets up and gives her wet food. And then she's only quite so long as she's eating. After that, she'll wander around the house meowing her head off unless someone manages to catch her and then smothers her in cuddles. Which can be kind of hard, since you need to pet her the entire time, and you mostly just want to go back to sleep.
She also misses me a lot when I'm gone, my dad, who works from home, tries to console her with lots of love and petting, but he's only a poor substitute. I don't know what she's going to do when I move out of here and live on my own, I'll of course take her with me, but what will she do all alone all day?
Today as I sat at my computer she sat on my feet purring and being nice and quiet, but she didn't like it when I went upstairs for dinner. She followed, meowing the whole way, so my sister picked her up. Tigger started making motions at me, so I thought she wanted me to hold her, but no, she wanted the bread I was eating. I'm not sure why, I doubt she'd like to eat it, but she kept batting at me, and when I did try and hold her, I couldn't eat it because she kept trying to stick her face in the butter. It was very weird.
I don't know why I had the sudden urge to tell you all about my cat, I was just thinking about how weird she was, when I went to the bathroom a few minutes ago, and she complained until I let her in, so she could sit on my foot. That kind of attachment just isn't normal. She was at least 13 by the time we met, I have no idea why she's so attached to me specifically, but she is, to the point where my dad now calls me the Alpha Female in the house.
