7. I did cry, but a good kind of cry.

I'm trying to feel better but I woke up to an attack, on Instagram, from my nephew's wife. I had restricted her on FB for her really passive/aggressive vegan rants and 'omnivore shaming'. Not to mention her habit of hijacking posts to 'spread the word' about veganism. She's a bit of a radical.

Then she started in on me with the kittens, pretty much blaming me for their deaths. Not what I wanted to see, this morning. Other people came to my defense but she didn't let up. She's now restricted and I'm tempted to send this comment to her:

'Yes, you have uncovered my true identity and my sinister plot. I am the Cruella Deville of the cat world. My goal is to create a magnificent cape of kitten pelts, but they are small, so I need many.

The only reason I won't send it is that she wouldn't get the inappropriate dark, shaming humor. I never called her out when she brought a known dangerous foster dog into the house that then proceeded to kill one of her cats, one of her dogs, and severely wound 2 others. I knew she was in emotional pain so I wasn't going to upset her even more. Apparently I'm not allowed the same respect when a plague of fleas takes out kittens that I tried so hard to save.
