I want to run away.

The last year has been rough. My quality of life is slipping. I'm not able to cry anymore, and to put the icing on the cake of misery--toilet cakes, I guess--my old cat is screaming at me. She jumps up and bleats at me like a roaring lion. And then, gives me a really dirty look. What'd I do to deserve this? I give her everything. I serve her.

I don't like being screamed at by a cat. I love my last remaining cat, but doggone it! My nerves are shot! She has such a nice manner of talking to me when she's normal--you guys told me tortoise-shell cats are like that--but all this week she has beaten me up, and appears angry with me. She's up in my business, knocking stuff off the table right and left, and is following me around constantly waiting for me to deliver...what??

I bought her those Delectable Squeeze Up Treats. She goes almost berserk over those. Someone asked me what's in them...tuna, chicken...??? Catnip? I don't know! There's no listing. I think she wants that, but I can't hand them out like Halloween candy! I have considered tasting the paste just to see if maybe it's something I want! Maybe all I need is a hit off of this Squeeze Up cat treat. Maybe that's the ticket. Another secret treatment...forget FB, forget IG, just pass the paste over and maybe I'll share it with my cat!

I'm not joking.
I have a cat whose meowing after dinner annoys the hell out of me. I'm tired and just starting my dinner but he expects my full attention. No can do.
So I started to meow back at him and he shuts up shortly thereafter.

Could very well be scared, uncertain, etc.
Or just in a realllly pissy mood!🤪

If the “paste” has no ingredients that could be a source of the changed mood.

Very outer limit auras out there for all creatures, especially the human ones!

Hang tough 👍🏼

And catnip of course. I think they're supposed to love valerian. Sometimes we all just need a treat. You do too but I'm not sure what your treat of choice would be.
