Eris the Destroyer, shedding all over the place. 😸 (It's a weaving joke.) Couldn't really afford the loom, but after the deeply depressing... everything... I needed to calm down and do something worth living for. I don't know that weaving qualifies. It doesn't pay the bills. But a woman in her 70s was telling me recently, her life was always about work and bills and taking care of people. Should have spent more time on art. I always think that's true, but then rent comes due... 🖤 But this time, I bought the loom. Eris is trying to help. She is very excited to be near me. I often don't even want to be near me. Strange little cat. 🐱 I have to stop and take lots of breaks while weaving to stretch and do other things, but it's a decent mental "cool down". Meditative, repetitive. No pressure, too. I can come back whenever. I still have ideas about materials I don't want to work with though, so check my shop for lots of yarns and fabrics! 💜 🧶 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🔮 #ashford #ashfordlooms #rigidheddlelooms #rigidheddleweaving #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #rescue #adoptdontshop #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #eristhedestroyer #weaving #fiberartist #handmade #handmadefabric #meditation #ehrlersdanlos #artistry #lifeisshort #rentdue #acrylicyarn #craftsupplies #clearance #yarn #yarnaddict #yarnart #weaversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1Y9JtJUQv/?igshid=ntqf25vu855o

#alextheverygood update: he is misererable. Absolutely dejected. 😿 Won't drink, gums are a bit cold. Gets up sometimes to try to wander but can't- he's a bit drugged. I have a heating pad under him that I cycle off and on, and @purrlipurrs on Relaxed, no meows, so maybe he'll chill a little. It's helped other sick and anxious cats before. 💙 $1700 ish and counting. holy jeezus. ::faints:: That was 1/6th of my YEARLY income not long ago, working FULL TIME. 😨 You think Americans need a raise? #fightfor15 In the meantime, the shop supports rescues like him. At least the amputation also cured his cancer. Osteosarcoma is not common in cats, but it kills. 🐱 🌿 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🧶 #cats #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #rescue #adoptdontshop #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #surgery #rescuecat #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #wicca #incense #herbmagic #paganshop #pagans #pagansupplies https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdvmmiJ3tT/?igshid=1r0axjj908j5d

I am supposed to be doing homework for a class I cannot hope to keep up in, but... #eristhedestroyer has other plans. 😸 My leg has gone painfully through pins and needles and is approaching numb. She is so freaming soft, and so comfortable in her spot... and her tummy is all up and her paws tucked and her tail stopped lashing. 🐱 #rip homework. 🙄 #cats #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catmagic #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #college #summer #summercourses #homework #help #shoplocal #shopsmall #tampa #adoptdontshop #rescuecat https://www.instagram.com/p/CAy81PJA6-o/?igshid=7rw7p8vw2qk5

Poor little Eris! I just got a call from the surgeon. It isn't ONE side of her hips that is bad... now it's BOTH sides! 😱 Her last x-rays were six months ago, when we started physical therapy. It looks like the activity made her worse instead of better, wearing down bone. Poor baby. No wonder she needed her pain meds so badly! 🐈 So today, we can only afford the $1700 for her surgery (we needed $150+ more for a kennel for her recovery; we couldn't borrow one fast enough...) 😥 Help! 🐱 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 😸 #help #support #cats #rescue #rescuecats #vetbill #veterinarians #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #eristhedestroyer #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #paganshop #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #wicca #incense #herbmagic #surgery #crystalwitch #kittens #greycat #straycat #adoptdontshop https://www.instagram.com/p/B9r9Z2XpNlX/?igshid=1n9ixv7xbvp3b

This is a story about #eristhedestroyer and #kaidunthegrey . Mostly, it's about Eris. 🐱 Eris is a cat we got at 6 weeks, if that. She was abandoned in a cat carrier with a sibling, on a freezing February night, with no blankie, in an open field near a @communitysteppingstonesfl . We took her in on #ValentinesDay . She was always a grumpy, needy, scared cat who couldn't walk right. She needed surgery on one hip... and now needs it on the other hip. We can't afford it. The first was thousands. We manage her pain, though... 🖤 At 20 months now, she still madly suckles like a newborn kitten on any fuzzy tummy-like surface. But otherwise? She's MEAN. AGGRESSIVE. BITEY. HATEFUL. HATE. FULL. We have to lock her in the bathroom for "calm down time" because unprovoked, she will lash out and jump up our leg and bite and claw and slash. HATEFUL. 😾 Even as part of the #MaineCoonMafia , #alextheverygood could only do so much because she would get grumpy and attack him, too. Just before Alex died, we went to @humanesocietytampabay and got Kaidun. He was the same age as Eris and had been there for two months. 😿 She hated him. HATED him. Bullied him relentlessly for the first month! Territorial! Being replaced! I am HER MOMMY ONLY!!! 😾 ... and now... she loves him. 💜 Plays with him every moment. 🧶 Can't be far from him. 🌿 Her behavior towards us has changed, too. We had seriously tried to rehome her several times but her behaviour was so bad, no one wanted her. Now? She's actually kind of... nice. Friendlier. Happier.

#AlextheVeryGood update: I am devastated. 🖤 Some hours after the surgery, he slipped into sepsis. He slipped away by the next day. We tried to keep him comfortable and took him to the emergency vet for confirmation. His liver was failing, and his blood sugar had fallen from a cat's typical ~120-140 to only 20. He was hypothermic despite being on the heating pad. There was absolutely no way to save him. Even if I had taken him to the vet hours after the surgery, it would likely have been too late. 💙 This is an uncommon outcome. We don't know what happened, and never will. Bloodwork is always done before surgery to make sure a cat is healthy enough for it. It might be that the cancer had already spread without enough time to show on bloodwork. We just don't know. We let him go. The emergency vets carried him outside to the grassy area, sheltered from onlookers, so he could be in a place he liked to be. We stayed with him, of course. 😿 I don't know what else we could have done. Shipping may be delayed. Right now I just Can't. Alex was a friend to all cats, no matter how crazy, lost, mean, or weird. 🌿 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🧶 #cats #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #rescue #adoptdontshop #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #surgery #rescuecat #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #wicca #incense #herbmagic #paganshop #pagans #pagansupplies https://www.instagram.com/p/CCg4NR8FJGN/?igshid=7asyn3xar6hv

Alex is home from @gandyanimalhospital The news is not excellent. 🖤 Since we got him, he has had a walk like an armadillo. He falls off things and won't use cat stairs. We got a lower couch for him and all future elderly cats. But he limps sometimes and is clearly nipping us in pain if we pet him too much. Some cats get like that‐ they get oversensitive. But it looks like his bad leg isn't just an old injury. 😿 It's a bone tumor. He also has old fractures in his spine. Not surprising, since he was almost dead when we got him. We take the ones nobody wants... 🦁 Today was $700. I don't know how to afford it or what tomorrow's results will bring us. We're waiting on some labs. Alex got treats and wet food when he got home. Now he's chilling out on the floor. 🐱 This just after we had to put Seraph to sleep last Thursday. She had kidney failure after being treated for thyroid disease for a long time, over a year. We just. Cannot. 💙 Pay attention to your cats' weird behaviours, no matter how small. Little things for them are big things sometimes. Get pet insurance if you can. Learn about your cats. What do they like? Why? What is regulated in the pet industry (hint: not food)? What isn't safe or normal? Plan expenses for them like you would for a human child. #cats #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catmagic #alextheverygood #shoplocal #shopsmall #tampabay #tampa #adoptdontshop #rescuecat #bonecancer #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdcYxSJVWt/?igshid=mc2rwuxr0csv

#EristheDestroyer is DANGERCAT seriously I don't know what goes on in her fuzzy brain sometimes 🐱 she just looks this way. all the time. she has the highest prey drive of any cat I've ever known. the only time she's happy is when she's suffocating me while doing suckles and kneady paws like a newborn kitten. 😸 to help support this dumb furmuffins' vet bills (and her brother #AlextheVeryGood who is at the vet today, to the tune of $700) pop over to 🌿 PerthroSupplies.etsy.com 🦁 #cats #kittens #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catmagic #vetbills #catdoctor #shoplocal #shopsmall #tampabay #tampa #adoptdontshop #rescuecat #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #surprise #pagan #paganshop #pagansupplies #altarspace #witch #witchcraft #catnip #witchshop #witchlife #familiars #witchesofetsy #wicca https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdMoM4pa-7/?igshid=1gfryjdfpdg8u

Little Eris is so smart! She's learned that if she trashes her kennel, I'll HAVE to let her out to clean it. 🐱 She wants out so badly and can't walk at all. Even on two pain drugs, she's adamant. She's supposed to have her cone on, but she thrashes and throws herself around until she can get it off, and I don't want her to hurt herself... Cats... 🙄 Help support this silly cat's surgery by sharing my posts and my shop links! It was $1700 so far. She has a checkup in two weeks. She needs the other hip done, but we couldn't afford it... every dollar counts in a small business. 💜 Follow me on IG, FB, and Etsy for sales, new items, and updates! 🔮 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🧵 #eristhedestroyer #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #surgery #rescuekitten #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #rescue #adoptdontshop #paganshop #wicca #herbmagic #pagan #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #greenlife #naturalliving #catrescue #incense #candles #tampaartist #tampa #crystalwitch #naturelover https://www.instagram.com/p/B94OTpXpDgq/?igshid=c37kxu1j2uxu

#eristhedestroyer update: she was FURIOUS last night when picking her up at @harmonyvetcare . you know that reaction some humans get under anaesthesia? rage and all that? that's eris. 🙄 flipping, biting, howling, and growling the second she went into her kennel. granted, she does that on normal bad pain days, too, before the surgery. 🐱 I feel ya, kiddo... she ripped her bandage off in the first hour. got her cone off in the first eight. now she's calmer and a little more sober, just on different pain meds, and she's... learning how to open the crate door. great, maybe four hours of sobriety, and she learned about slide locks! 😆 so I had to get some latch clips to keep it shut. any help with supporting the surgery costs of this very Angry and Smart rescue cat is appreciated 💜 we spent about $1700 we don't have. 😸 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🐈 #caturday #saturday #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #surgery #rescuekitten #rescuecat #cats #kitteh #adoptdontshop #paganshop #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #wicca #incense #herbmagic #pagan #candles #crystals #healing #catmagic #recovery https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tyYb5Jbp2/?igshid=1vzmud34vj61d

#EristheDestroyer is at the vet today. 🐱 We haven't saved the money for her surgery yet. Our car died in February, right after paying out to replace the transmission in January! 😱 So now we have a massive car payment, our car insurance doubled because it requires a lot of extra coverage on a newer car (lower interest rate for the loan), and all this other stuff... and Eris still needs surgery. And Alex needed the vet twice, too. ::sighs:: 🐱 That's another reason everything in Clearance is 30% off. I'd rather take the loss on newly-listed items just to move them and make the quick money to pay for all this stuff than wait for it to sell at full price. 💜 Eris is in for surgery on her hip, which was defective at birth. Not doing this will lead to spinal degeneration. She's in a lot if pain, and physical therapy is not fixing her. She's a VERY active cat! 😸 So now I have to secure a crate for her to recover in. She's going to HATE me. For two months. oy. Please help support this sweet rescue cat by sharing our posts, telling people about our shop, following us, and of course, buying when you can. 🕯 🦋 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🔮 #cats #catstagram #catsofig #catsofinstagram #kitteh #instacat #catmagic #mainecoonmafia #mainecoons #catsurgery #hipsurgery #help #support #donate #paganshop #witchesofinstagram #wicca #witchesofetsy #wicca #wiccasupplies #witchlife #herbmagic #pagan #catcare #veterinarians https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rG28sp54J/?igshid=12jvm0uakt8ye

We got our troublemaker, Eris the Destroyer, a year ago on Valentine's Day... and she's been a bitchy little ball of meany ever since. At least she's cute. It's the only thing that saves her! ... well, that, and Alex likes her. Alex is a Very Good boy. 🐱 maybe Eris will be less bitey in time. 💜 Perthrosupplies.etsy.com 🦋 #eristhedestroyer #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catstagram #alextheverygood #kitteh #cats #adoptdontshop #paganshop #catmagic #mainecoons #mainecoonmafia #herbmagic #pagan #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #wicca #wiccans #greenlife #rescuecats #rescuekitten #rescueanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wtSFYAMIk/?igshid=lbstj2tgxdwq

I haven't slept in days! I have to sleep on the tile next to her, or she won't shut up at night! 🙄🐱🤯 Soon... #cats #catstagram #instacat #catsofig #catsofinstagram #catmagic #rescue #adoptdontshop #harmonyvet #mainecoonmafia #surgery #rescuekitten #mainecoons #video #herbmagic #pagan #witch #witchcraft #witchshop #familiar https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Dsv8HpWFd/?igshid=1wmamncbwgyf2
