Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

We spent the day out yesterday visiting various family members for HRH's birthday. Got home about 21h00. While I'm sitting at the desk getting some 'home at last' comfort vaping in, HRH goes into the kitchen to put the kettle on for some relaxing evening tea.

She hears a weird sound outside. Now we have a problem in this place with stray cats, so we've made a mixture of water and lavender essential oils to try and dissuade them from returning. When she opened the back door, one of the strays was right there mewling away, so out of habit she picked up the bottle and sprayed it a few times. The cat started dragging itself away.

Reread the previous sentence ... I said dragging because it's back legs weren't working at all.

Now I'm not the biggest fan of cats, and if this thing had been able to drag its ass out of my space I would have not given it another thought. But it couldn't. I went to try open the back gate (we have a long pot with lavender and rosemary covering it to try and stop these pests coming in) .moved the pot but couldn't open the gate because this cat was in the way. This is when I made my mistake, I scratched the cat behind the ear.

Golden rule with me and cats, once I've scratched it behind the ear, we are buddies for life. HRH brought out a box lined with towels and a spare towel for me to hoist it into the box to try and avoid causing more damage to what we assumed was a spinal injury. While I was doing the transfer she called the local SPCA emergency line. I carried kitty in through the kitchen while she was on the phone and I notice movement by its tail. Maggots! A writhing, bubbling mass of maggots.

I ended up scratching the cats head and sides in the lounge until the lady from the SPCA arrives, it kept nudging my hand where it want to be scratched. Such soft, clean fur that I just cannot believe it was an actual stray/feral but had no collar or tag.

SPCA lady arrives, impressively quickly - talk about dedication She snaps a few pictures, then tries to take a closer look. Uh-uh, too gruesome to describe further. The only thing she says is she's definitely going to have to put it down. This situation has been developing over a couple of days, at least.

How the cat got into our area is completely baffling as we have put stuff in place to make it difficult for them and at the very least they have to jump with great precision to make it. Lying just outside our back gate, in an otherwise spotless alley accessible by residents only (9 units) is a stompie. WTF? Not saying it is related, but in my general opinion people suck, so I'm not saying it's unrelated either.

Tl;dr
Tried to rescue cat, cat was host to many other lifeforms (100s/1000s maybe) good hearted animal people helped out and will make sure it is euthanized humanely. Me upset because "Lynx" and I bonded over some ear scratching.

Whew so sad. But bless you for taking the cat in and giving it some comfort.
 
Cut my thumb last night. Cut from the tip of the finger to about halfway down the nail. The result is that using my Reo's is currently impossible.

Try Juicy Joes - they're in your area
 
Was looking forward to a nice long weekend. Went to Spar on Saturday and while trying to hide my phone from the tsotsies around me it fell out of my hand and the whole LCD is buggerd. Scratched around the house looking for a spare phone and each one of them I want to through so far away that not even CSI would find them. Finally got one that works. Insurance is deciding on what to do since I live in the boendoes. Only repair shop in this boendoes is a Paki that charges R2500 :(
So no more vape purchases for me for the next few months. O and to end the weekend off my website server got moved without me knowing so at 8:00 this morning all 10 of my clients phoned: Why is my email not working!!

Feel like jumping in the sea and swimming to the closest island with no reception. Havent felt so depro in a while.

Oh how awful @Braki - and of course everything happens at once i.e. the phone and the server. But remember ... I'm still PIFing the Joyetech Cuboid Pro to you ... if you still want it? Will Whatsapp you about arrangements- maybe this weekend, it's just a bit chaotic here at the moment.
