    Life is like a box of chocolates...

    ... and I would like the caramel next time...

    My boyfriend broke up with me on wednesday, because things weren't right.
    Big bombshell, lots of shock induced stress and inconvenience and crap.

    Basically, i'm living at home for a while now.

    My 'rents told me a fib this morning, we were going to the cat lady to drop off the cat cage that we borrowed 2 years ago for my sisters kittens before going caravan shopping.
    We got there to have a look at teh lovely kitties, and then the best bit... i could chose one of my own to take home

    SO... I'd like to introduce my surprise for today.
    Sambuca or Sammy for short.



    So after having my life so cruelly ripped apart on wednesday, I've calmed down and hopefully things will start to get better from now on.

    I'd also like to say Thanks to Hexus for keeping me sane and esp Jiff and Dave and VAUL for all their support over the last half week, I'm glad I've got such good friends to help me through this.

    It always sucks when you break up with someone after a long time... so I'm not really sure what to say I'm afraid I'm sure everyone here on hexus will be here for you though if you need anything, whatsoever !

    Anyway, look on the brighter side, black sambuca is one mighty cool shot of alcohol, and for the kitten? He looks even cooler

    Sorry to here that Tig, after 2 years that gotta come as a major shock, has kinda made me think twice about the way I split up with my g/f last weekend, we hadn't been together nearly as long but I wasn't the most sensitive bloke about it.

    Sambuca's a cool name though, just need Tequila and Absinthe and you 've got the start of a great liquor cabinet

    Thankyou to everyone, this is why Hexus is the best forums ever!

    Sambuca is a Boy. He's a year and a half old, so old enough to know what's going on, but young enough to still have a play. He's currently hiding under my bed. He's wriggly, attacks hands, but doesn't know what claws are for, thank god.

    He's also a spitting image of my 16 year old cat (you may remember that i've already lost his mum and sister to old age this year), doesn't like the dog - yet

    He's had some kidney problems recently, which is why he was dumped on a fosterers doorstep, so i'm off to the vet this week to see what i've got myself in for. (he's very good at taking tablets though, phew) hopefully it was just a bad kidney infection.

    If you Pass an RSPCA place this week, pop in and donate something in sammy's name, coz they do such a bloody good job.

    P.S We've already got Whiskey and Coke... so Sambuca seemed to fit!
    P.P.S - i think he was intended as a bit of therapy, as it worked so well for my sister, who had proper depression which was helped by giving her something to live for...

    Black cats are always the best. Others are always so far up themselves, they may as well be inside out.

    That's like a more polite version of "My cat is bigger than your cat "

    Direct debit every month and a credit card that gives 1% of everything I spend good enough?

    Love animals but couldn't have my own; Only just got used to looking after me!
