Everything is a performance. It is so tedious. If you are having so much fun bonding with your kitten, you wouldn't be tweeting about anything, full stop.
I feel like we've covered this ground a thousand times, but we all remember the heady early days of Facebook and social media, when many of us were guilty of oversharing. That was 15 years ago! There was a huge turn in the tide about 10 years ago, when people started questioning whether posting pics of their kids on the potty or hilarious anecdotes about drunken escapades so publicly was a good idea. I have about 1 friend left on social media who still gleefully overshares, but everyone else I know just uses it to sell bikes, check out local events and follow their favourite musicians/artists/chefs.
It was the kitten that brought me here and I am really struggling to see she has another. I can’t have pets because I RENT but my family have always had loads of animals and pets and I know what an important part of your life they are, but they take up your time and your money. I fear for the kitten. I know Dash much have gone to the special farm. They haven’t a clue - they aren’t just a fashion accessory for insta likes. They can’t stick with anything. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but I can’t.
I'm sorry did you get a new kitten and keep it up til 2am posing it for internet points?
How is that going to settle her into a new household? She's got absolutely no idea whatsoever about animal behaviour or care it's actually painful to watch.

The issue with Jack is that she's used oversharing as a basis for her 'career' (such as it is). And even now, she can't stop doing it, otherwise she'd very very quickly fall out of public consciousness, which obviously to her would be a fate worse than death.
In other news, my tender heart can't take much talk of the kitten. Of course she's the runt because Jack's never going to pay cold hard cash for it (even though it's a false economy because she'll have to shell out more in the long run on vet's fees). And her backstreet breeder babydaddy probably wouldn't be able to charge as much as he'd like for it.
And thank you so much for my Christmas pressie, Slopbot, you're an angel! With my new rowing machine, I'll soon be able to benchpress the Queen
Ever seen a cat open their eyes and there's a bit of whitish-pink skin there for a second before it retracts? That's the third eyelid.
My Slopmass gift was a Call4Fish delivery. Whilst I am grateful for any gift I lack the three freezers to store them in. Also, I have no idea how many months I need to keep them locked away in a frozen tomb before discarding.
Perhaps next year I should provide the puddle with an Amazon wish list, it seems to be all the rage for grifters this year.

I can't remember who originally posted about her always having the big light on, but now it's been pointed out I can't unsee it. Proper makes my teeth itch. Especially posing with a poor wee anxious kitten at half 2 in the morning. Wee scone will be overwhelmed.

Must admit to being on the wrong page with this reference too.
Seriously doubt that kitten is 12 weeks.
Also, the towel is a worry. I will lose my tit if she's bathing it in the middle of the night. It has only been there a couple of hours. Must be terrified.
Keep trying, I got nothing on my first two goes. Got a bit paranoidSanta must hate me, I didn't get anything.
Thank (space) you Slopbot for my shiny new laptop! Off to do all my outstanding accounts now… (tee hee)
Has the puddle dried up? It has rained this morning, maybe try again laterSanta must hate me, I didn't get anything.
the thing is, she's incapable of looking after herself at the moment. To take on responsibility for anything else is foolhardy. AA and NA are pretty clear about what you need to be doing particularly in the first year of sobriety.

This puts the kitten's birthday at around 18th September, which was 12 weeks ago.
The weird thing is that she said last night that the kitten had been kept longer with her mum than the other kittens, when in fact I thought 12 weeks was a normal time to keep them? Sorry I just can't bear babydaddy for this.
Thank you Father Slopbot....
Hope it's full of tinned fish...

Can we add things to the puddle? 
I have found the perfect pressie for mackie

That kitten looks sad and tired and like it wants to be left alone
Add me to the list of fraus who would love a kitten/cat but doesn’t have the appropriate living arrangements so doesn’t have one as it wouldn’t be in the best interests of the cat
