This is a miracle. Strangers <3 helping with a cat we literally thought was at death's door, and the silly kitty starts eating again. We are going to pay it forward. If ever our gofundme exceeds the actual goal, my spouse and I already decided we will help other causes. gofund.me/1c1cd0618
Goldie the cat sitting on my spouse's lap. She WAS at death's door but somehow the silly fluff decided to start eating. The blood transfusion probably helped. She has IMHA, a severe type of anemia but we don't know the root cause yet. Still waiting for actual diagnosis.

HUGE thank you everyone for your support for our kitty Goldie! I honestly didn't expect her to eat 😭 I don't know how long more we will have her, but this is a blessing. She is our fur child, our comfort in these times. We love having her sleep at the end of the bed, or climb onto our laps purring🙀

This cat! It's a miracle! SHE'S EATING. We said like goodbye to this pussy twice in 2 years already! Thank you so much for your donations, guys 😭 I swear she's turning my hair white (full story here: gofund.me/1c1cd0618)

Storytime: Goldie loves to lounge next to the keyboard of my spouse while they WFH. Eventually, kitty wants attention & pets. When she doesn't get it, she paws at the nearby hand, becoz surely this is what human hands are for! Then one day she grabbed an arm to lick & chomp! gofund.me/1c1cd0618

Update on our kitty. Goldie has IMHA "Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia", it's a symptom not the cause. It all depends now if we can get her to eat and accept the new meds. Sorry for the multiple posts. Here is cat tax

Yes it's a bit distracting, I am not sure whether black background, or a different fog background would be better

How to stay humble in an Asian family: Me: "Hey mum, look, I got my article published in this online magazine." Mum: "Were you paid?" Me: "No. But my short story in that anthology did get me USD250." Mum: "Peanuts!" #writerslife #keepbelieving

Settling into the new apartment, and pumped at earning my SEO certificate yesterday. Zooming in now on African culture, driving license and writing new articles on Medium next~

Now that I've settled in a new city, I start looking through open calls for submission. Then I stumble across one from Taco Bell Quarterly. Not sure I am qualified to write for such greatness XD
The open call for fiction submissions from Taco Bell Quarterly, and it is taco(t)lessly epic.
