Synopsis: If you Give a Mouse a Cookie
Basically, if you ever give someone anything then they'll only want more and keep wanting more until they drain you dry and you're nothing but a soulless husk so just never share or give a single thing away in your life. Keep everything for yourself and never let them see you showing sympathy or empathy to their needs, kiddo.
Fuck Capitalism.
@JulieSqveakaroo If you give a mouse a cookie, you get a mouse. And you have a mouse! And it will need things, but you have a mouse! And it's charming, and playful, and lovely, and fastidious and sleek and she makes a 'bwooOOOP!' noise when it's looking for you and you never knew mice did that and she prefers grains and she sleeps on a slice of apple so cute
And she'll get old and slow down and one night.
she'll die and break your heart
But you had a mouse.
And she was worth it all.
@JulieSqveakaroo I wasn't expecting to have a sudden crying jag myself! And I didn't even get to fit in the time Dresden did a base-jump from my shoulder to TheMate's bosom to the hallway carpet, or the time Chester ate her bodyweight in roast beef. *sniffle*
I'm sorry roo, I meant that all just to be light and happy and I just...
... I miss my mice today, I guess. Heh. They were good mice.
*such hugs*
Thank you for reminding me what good mice they were. I'm glad to remember them. :)
@Momentrabbit It's ok. I have days like that where I miss my previous kitties.
@Momentrabbit @JulieSqveakaroo this is making me tear up. thank you.
@green @JulieSqveakaroo *smiles* You are very welcome. I'll see if I can find some of the pics I took of Chester the mouse, our first - but I know I have two of Dresden, our last. Here she is as a baby, shortly after her rescue:

And here she is as an adult, my bold beautiful girl. *proud sniffle* https://awoo.space/media/BwQZ4kyCQlUHIvDcmq8
