My Cat Has Always Had The Worst Timing. He'll Jump Up On My Desk To Cuddle At The Very Moment I'm About

My cat has always had the worst timing. He'll jump up on my desk to cuddle at the very moment I'm about to get up to urgently go to the bathroom. He'll try to curl up with me in bed the very instant I need to get up and refill my glass of water and put some vaseline on my dry, sore lips. He'll ask me to play just at the second I need to end my break and get back to work.

The poor guy, right? From his perspective, he approaches me for love and I immediately get up and leave. I feel awful about it. I try to reassure him first that I love him and he just has bad timing, but I know it can't feel nice, and also he's too big of a dumbass to understand that me getting up and walking away isn't triggered by him coming to say hi.

Except today I realized something: Yes. It is.

I was sitting at my desk watching a video and up jumps the boy with a mrrp, head positioned for pets, when I realized I urgently had to get up and go to the bathroom. As I opened my mouth to say "bad timing again, buddy," it finally occurred to me that... I definitely already had to go. I for sure did not "suddenly" have an urgent need for the toilet out of fucking nowhere.

I didn't realize I needed to go because my brain is piloted by angry gremlins and they were more interested in watching the video than letting me know about an important bodily function.

My cat coming to say hi is a regular trigger that pulls me back into my body from whatever bullshit I'm hyperfocusing on. And that's when I realize all the warning lights are flashing on the dash. Need water. Need food. Need toilet. In pain: need to change position. Holy shit look at the time, need to get back to work!

I now wonder how much worse I'd function if I didn't have a furry little guy in my apartment to regularly remind me that I exist in a physical form which requires maintenance and also that time passes.

I do still feel bad for walking away from him every time, but I have started just inviting him to come with me. Hey bud, sorry, I have to stand up right now, but come follow me while I get a glass of water. You coming? Come on! And rewarding him with pats for following. It's better than just walking away, I think.

Anyway cats (or other pet of your choice that requires frequent attention)? 10/10, strongly encourage having a little guy to bother you now and then, especially if you have ADHD and live alone.

infatuated

what's it like not to fall in love

just a little bit more when they talk about their love

the favorite book that makes them exaggerate their hands

and tilt their head when they think of it

lgbtq politics what does the government have to do with sex? Im certainly never gonna fuck the president. Fun fact being for the banning of porn and explicit material is being for censorship and government control Safe sane and consensual babies Although that sane one is depending on the normative standard of mental health.

be academically dishonest the real way. Send your notes to ur friends. Let them copy ur test answers. Do the work and share the knowledge so that everyone else has to do less work.

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

And under beating skies and gleaming hearts

Do we find ourselves torn apart

Gazing into sundered souls

Greaf reaps us at the bell's tolls

A rapture of desire and hate

Born of an apple once ate

A rib torn from its cage

And stabbed into ones heart with rage

I find that though you have hurt me

I still dream of your decree

The one you spoke before we loved

The one you handed to me gloved
