Cat contemplates wardrobe living
DEAR TABBY: I recognize that this may be type of an strange question, but I was wondering… Do you believe it may be possible to set up long-term home in a closet?
I ask because I’ve discovered one in the house I’m currently occupying, and I’m enjoying it extremely much. It’s full of piles of comforting clothes, a number of pairs of stinky shoes (my favorite!), and it’s just great and peaceful and dark.

I feel risk-free in there, and it’s peaceful, unlike my previous residence.
Lasă-mă să explic…
Before I moved into this closet, I shared an house with a household that barely paid any attention to me at all. feeling unfulfilled, I left that circumstance to online off the land in the woods behind the complex.

For a while, I took pleasure in getting in touch with my wildcat side, but that didn’t last long. I soon discovered that some cats are in shape forever on the road, but it’s just not my style.
So I took up momentary home at a bed and breakfast/cat shelter in the area, sharing a condo with a number of other kitties. I liked the consistent meals and the friendly staff, but I still felt like something was missing, you know?
Before long, the proprietors of the establishment put me in something they called “a permanently home” with a great woman named Denise, with whom I’m living now.
Please comprehend — I’m not complaining. I like Denise. She’s a competent assistant, completely capable of opening cans of gravy and tending to my whims and needs. It’s just that…I don’t understand her extremely well. I’m also shy, and I don’t feel prepared to provide my heart to somebody that I’m not sure will still want me around in a few months.
Tabby, do you believe it’s crazy of me to online in this wardrobe forever? I’m sure that I could discover a method to have my mail forwarded and my meals provided here, in which case I’d never have to leave. Ce crezi?

Enjoying the view
DEAR HIDING: It seems like you’ve dealt with some hard difficulties over the past few months, and I commend your wherewithal.
Before we deal with the wardrobe issue, however, let me very first state that I believe it’s natural to be a bit timid around a new assistant. change like that can be discombobulating, and it’s purr-fectly typical to feel not sure about a new living arrangement. It’s understandable that you’d seek out someplace dark, risk-free and quiet.
But while wardrobes are terrific for respite, there’s still a whole, large world available in the home to explore. believe of all the birds and community cats you could enjoy with the living space windows, or the fun games you could play with Denise.
Imagine exactly how great it could be to kick back with her on the couch. let me tell you — there are few things in this world better than reclining on a couch while your assistant provides you a deep-tissue kitty massage.
I desire you to online in the moment, let go of your past, and leave the wardrobe for a while.
Fa saltul! — and online your life to the fullest.
Fashionable or artificial pas?
DEAR TABBY: Is it suitable to wear a black leather harness/collar to an afternoon tea party?
I just recently procured one by McQueen, and I’m extremely ecstatic about using it. I’m just scared that it may be improper for the venue.

I like strong fashion choices
DEAR FORWARD-THINKING: I believe in using what you want, when you want to wear it, so I state choose it!
With that said…I also believe in putting your finest paw forward. will there be press at the event? If so, you may not want to be understood in the gossip blogs as the cat who used black pleather to a tea party.
First impressions count. I like daring collars as much as the next high-fashion feline, but in this case, not understanding the prospective for media coverage, I’d recommend you to save it for another time. perhaps the next time you and your buddies go clubbing?
Think paws-itively! now you have an reason to go buying for a new outfit. go to my buddy Karl over at Chanel, and tell him I sent you. He’ll treat you right.
Overly affectionate coworker makes work a chore
DEAR TABBY: My coworker, whom I’ll phone call Stan, is an annoyingly affectionate pomeranian. I like the person — he’s great sufficient for a pet dog — but he’s always getting up in my space! He’s continuously trying to hug me and, in the process, slobbers around my fur.Tabby, sunt un COON Maine, și permiteți-mi să vă spun că păstrarea acestei haine imaculate are loc de muncă! Având în vedere cu câinele de companie Drool, în partea de sus a îngrijirii mele de zi cu zi, îmi face sarcina mult mai dificilă.
Nu vreau să alienim pe Stan – el este cu adevărat grozav – dar eu sunt atât de obosit de refuzând în mod continuu afecțiunile sale. Ce trebuie sa fac?

Politica mea de birou
Stimate lupte: OK, deci iată înțelegerea: oricând împărtășiți zona de stație de lucru cu un câine, veți vorbi despre o excursie complet diferită atunci când se referă la Office Politic. Considerați-vă că Lucky este blocat cu Stan, pentru că înțeleg o mulțime de pisici care trebuie să lucreze cu canini bruști care declin absolut să coopereze. Ai putea avea mult mai rău.
Din moment ce tu și Stan, înțelegi, cred că trebuie să-l stai jos (să-l prindă când e somnoros) și să-ți prezinte cazul.
Fiți ferm, dar grijuliu. Menționați că vă bucurați de compania lui și vă place să lucrați cu el, ci să fiți cinstiți. Spuneți-i exact cum o mulțime de ore îmbrățișarea constantă contribuie la volumul de muncă îngrijire. Cel mai probabil nu este conștient de ea.
Și dacă asta nu funcționează, l-ai înghițit pe nas. Va face sugestia. În cele din urmă.
Trucul cu sinele incredibil
Dragă Tabby: Exact cum luați astfel de sine incredibile? Nu sunt sigur ce fac greșit, dar al meu se sfârșește întotdeauna să privească puțin.
