kittykats1's blog post - DAMMIT

Do you ever agree to do something you don't want to do, just because you are a 'nice' person?. I just did and I am utterly irritated with myself. Out of the blue an 'ex' friend called in desperation. At 7 a.m. She was in dire need of a pet sitter as her sitter flaked and she was leaving on a trip to Denver. So she calls my house.

Pretty nervy if you ask me considering the abominable way that she treated me last year. In public and in full view and earshot of our peers (and anyone else who happened to be standing there) she insulted and attacked my ethics, my husbandry, my choice in the people and the friends I wish to work with, my cats,etc. Basically insulting me in the most shocking ways and saying the most terribly hurtful things - the worst was the outright lies. I was crushed and hurt beyond belief. I had spent the past 7 years defending her to everyone and picking up after her messes and she totally turned on me. I was done with her after that. I spayed the cats I got from her and basically started over. I would no longer work with her nor would I go out of my way to be more than polite when we would run into eachother at shows.

Now this. Part of me wanted to say well fuck you you horrible bitch. You didn't value our friendship last year and now you come crying to me because everyone else abandons you? Well too fucking bad. I'll admit I dont want to deal with her or her cats but there are sick kittens that require antibiotics and just can't be left alone for 3 days. So like a fool I agreed - not for her sake but for the cat's sake. It's not their fault their breeder is a psycho bitch. I don't give a damn about her but I can't in good conscience leave those animals without care, especially the ill kittens. Now I will have a 40 minute trip each way to her house, plus feeding, scooping and medicating. I don't even want to think how much $$$ this will cost me in gas and it just blows all of my plans that I had tomorrow and Friday to shit.

I hope like hell she is grateful as I didn't have to do this. She treated my like garbage so by rights I could have just let her twist in the wind. I highly doubt she will appreciate it, but whats done is done. I will do the 'right' thing but I sure as hell am not happy about it.

Puurrs to all,
