Oh, full disclosure, I have so far turned in my chair no less than three times today to boop her on the nose.

And no, she doesn't find it amusing.

She can't be allowed to roam free for too long unsupervised, because she enjoys harassing everything else here (including my two 90lb pitbulls).

So, every night, I pick her up like a sack of potatoes and carry her into the bedroom. She is not amused by this. 😂

Oh no, I win. Before I put that cat bed there, she was choosing to sleep in my chair. 😅

I only read manly books about manly werewolves who do manly things like eat meat, kill animals, and occasionally take long, slow, sensual showers together!”

Or human-ish

Well aware. I figure it's a human conceit, but since werewolves are human...

Maybe ghost spiders.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn CBS’s new owners had dug up Walter Cronkite’s grave specifically to piss all over it.

My wife yells at me if I go to the store without them. 😭

Oh yeah. Depression and sadness are hard to work with. But spite ... spite will get the job done.
