Jenna found a cat named Patches a little over a week ago. She's been putting up flyers and contacting people but still hasn't found any luck. So she was going to give it to me.

Patches is a big, fat, lazy cat who likes to sleep a lot and lie on people's laps. He's very friendly with other cats and stuff. He's also all up to date on his vaccinations.

So I brought it up to my parents.

Their answer was pretty much no.

Gah. And their reasons were due to how Drake would react (well how the hell do they know exactly what will happen if they don't even let Patches stay in our house for a few hours? Obviously Drake's gonna be all "grrrrrrr" towards him at first, but Patches won't start anything and I think we could get them to get along) and that I'm not responsible enough to take care of him.

What the ********?

I was just fine when we had Tiger and Drake. So why the hell do they think I'd be irresponsible? My parents honestly don't make any sense to me.

So now I'm pissed off beyond belief that they think I'm not responsible enough to take care of 2 cats even though we had two cats until September.

And I'm STILL not completely healed from Tiger dying. It's been a little over 4 months but there's still a wound that hasn't completely healed. And I really think having Patches would help me heal it. So I could have a cat to snuggle with. (Drake really just likes to be left alone.)

James IMed my Mom and talked to her for a bit and brought up Patches. My mom told him that I apparently don't feed Drake and that when she tells me to, I give her a dirty look.

I give a dirty look for other things. If I'm busy doing homework or writing something and for the fifth time for the day she tells me "Put away your clothes" then yeah, I am going to give her a dirty look. Because I call that unnecessary nagging. The more times she tells me to do something, the less likely I am to do it. Because then I'll make myself not do it just to spite her.

I feed Drake more often than she thinks. It's impossible to forget to feed him. He doesn't let you forget. Either Alyssa or I usually feed him every day. When I'm busy doing something, my mom does it. Otherwise, we do it.

I seriously feel like my mom really only focuses and remembers the negatives about me and Alyssa. It drives me insane.

And what if Jenna doesn't find Patches's owner? What if it was one of those b*****d families who just moves and doesn't bring their cat along? It's happened before. Why not now? It's been over a week. If that family honestly loved their cat, I think they would have seen at least one of Jenna's flyers and contacted her. We haven't seen any Lost Cat flyers either.

I was fuming and close to exploding when James told me that my mom most likely won't let us take Patches. But then he ditched me for food and a shower. xp

And just because I'm so mad, I refuse to go to bed. At least until I beat my guitar battle against the devil on GH3.
