TW: ANIMAL DEATH

A tiny little celebration and recounting of this lil old lady, who passed away yesterday april 22 2024, 6 years to the day her adopted sister left the world.

Read on to learn about her adoption story and some of her fav things!

I made sure she had a comfortable lovely weekend, but she let me know it was time.

So who was Turtle?

In Aug 2010 I went to a local shelter and adopted 2 kitties. One a kitten we named Genki, and another a 1+ year old mystery owner surrender they named Hello Kitty.

She saw us and started yelling and slamming herself on the glass to show us how to pet her. She snugged onto my lap immediately in the little private room to meet her and I was in love instantly.

But back at home she was very scared. She hid under the couch for three days only peaking her head out to eat some food and then she went back in. This would be the last time in her life she would be shy, but I didn't know it so I named her...

Alligator Snapping Turtle; Turtle!

She quickly became my shadow. Clinging to me night and day. She would jump onto the back of my chair, lay on my back and slowly slide down towards my butt. She did this so frequently she managed to break the chair, eventually. After that all my chairs have been bought with more room for her to snug me. For a whole decade.

If someone visited, she would insist they hold her, or she'd sleep on them in their sleep. She once was held through a 3 hour long DnD session by someone she had just met; she loved people. Loved being pet, but above all, she adored me.

She had a specific meow for me, she spent every single night for nearly 14 years in between my legs, and unfortunately, as she got older she got separation anxiety real bad. She would cry and cry for about an hour each time I left. (I rarely do as I no longer work but even a trip to the grocery store did not leave her happy!) I know this because my husband had plenty of videos of her standing at the door hoping I would return.

No matter what I did in the house there she was.

But lets back up a moment, remember that bit about owner surrender? That intake form was interesting. with questions like "What is your pets favorite toy?" came answers like 'small glove'. She spent at least a year in someone with 7 children's garage. They fed her 'cheep food' and knew very little about her past other than they found her about a year prior. No judgements to them, but this girl was a lap cat to end lap cats. You would pick her up and move her to stand and she'd jump right back into your lap. She's dig her claws in if she thought you were trying to leave. She wanted the warmth god damn it!

Here is her on top my husband. Human's were good options.

Heat vent? Also a great option.

She would, when I worked, stay in bed in the covers right where I left her until I came home from work, all nice and cozy.

She loved it when my husband worked from home, gave her ample time to try and fry his laptop during his breaks or lunches.

But her fav place was on top of me. I set up my desk just for her actually! This big living room chair was purchased so she could always be near me.

Because the previous snug situation was not cutting it!

Here she is on the chair I bought for us.

She was never very photogenic, because she saw my hand and wanted pets. If I wasn't petting her she'd cry and show me how to pet her with her paws, or she'd flop around or rub herself on something and look up at me like 'come ooooonnn you know the good spots.'

Or she would do a 'turkey twerky'(where cats twitch their tails and step from foot to foot rapidly in excitement).

Her fav toy it turned out was not a 'small glove' but in fact the simple spring. Yellow was her fav color of the springs, but past that any small bit of plastic she could chase around and yell at was great. She was a very loud little lady!

I sang her a song daily for about ten years;

"Her name is turtle! and she's a turtle! And she's got a lot to say!"

after which she'd generally make a BIG meow and I'd give her tons of attention. Because she was my lil baby girl.

But her all time fav thing, beside me of course, was going outside. She didn't get to much as I believe in, and have, indoor only cats, but on special nice days we'd go outside and she'd gets some nice supervised time with the grass. (She made the other cats jealous because only she was let outside without a harness, but that's because if she wasn't in about a 2 foot radius of me she'd come back and yell at me to follow/I was able to out run her.)

Last year I had her shaved, because she was a fat cat who was struggling with cleaning herself so we were going to get on a rotation of shaving and baths and brushing to make sure she stayed nice and clean...

But unfortunately she began to drop in weight very quickly, the primary sign something was very wrong.

She was adopted on the same day as Genki, and six years to the day she passed on the same day as her sister. Genki lost a very long fight with a fungal pneumonia in 2018 and our hearts shattered and then yesterday they did it again.

If Turtle was my heart, my little shadow, then Genki was my husband's.

Turtle was such an amazing good friend, I have so many memories of her and it doesn't seem real that she's gone. But I wanted to keep this light, and positive, and so I will end it with, adopt.

Don't shop, adopt. You never know who is waiting for you in a shelter, what kind of very full wonderful life you can provide each other! Hello Kitty became Turtle and she knew that name, she'd come running any time I called, she was my very best friend and I miss her so fucking much.

Drunk boys! How would they act? Would they reveal too much, wake up the next morning, and remember nothing? Or worse, would they remember everything?

Sans: He's not much of a drinker. He only drinks around people he 100% trusts to look after him when he's inebriated, he's worried about his 1HP. He might drink around the usual crew of Pap, Undyne and Alphys, but he rarely gets drunk.

... He might when it's just him and Mc, though, at home. When he's drunk around her, he gets clingy- he loses his 'maybe that's not appropriate for a friend' filter and he'll nestle his head into her lap and listen to her talk with a big happy goofy grin. If she moves around the house he follows like a shadow, holding her hand or not being able to resist the urge to touch her face and hair. He's like a particularly loving cat.

He always remembers in the morning. He just pretends not to.

Red: It takes a lot of liquor to knock this guy down. But when he does finally get knocked, it hits him pretty hard. How he acts when drunk depends massively on who he's with- if he's with people he doesn't like, he acts like himself but quicker to anger, and if he's with people he trusts he gets silly and laughs at everything.

Very drunk around Mc, he's not all that different. He's just gigglier and slurs his words. Except... he always this absolutely adoring expression on his face. Big soft eyelights, big soft smile, staring like she's his whole world. Every time she does anything at all, he gets 'the look'. She blushes a lot.

He's pretty good at remembering the morning after. He likes to tease her, if she did anything embarrassing.

Skull: Generally, it takes the same amount of alcohol to knock down Skull as it does Red. Red likes having the big guy as a drinking buddy, because at this point in his life, Red can drink most people under the table, and its fun to have someone else that keeps up with him.

Tipsy, Skull gets confused and dizzy. Actually drunk, Skull loses all his speech, and gets extremely cuddly. Though the outright cuddles are reserved for Mc (he has a habit of wandering off to go find her for snuggles) he also gets more physically affectionate with people he considers his friends/family. Red often gets Skull half-collapsing onto his shoulder, and even Sans finds himself occasionally getting gentle pats on the head or back.

He remembers absolutely nothing in the morning.
