  1. Workshopping a new #StupidCatSong based on 'Wicked', the award-winning musical about my cat #Grahamstodon

    Something has changed within me
    Something is not the same
    I'm through with playing by
    the rules of someone else's game
    Too late for second breakfast
    Too late for a dawn-feed leap
    It's time to trust my instincts
    Close my eyes and sleep

    I think I'll try defying Grahamity
    No food's nearby; I'm defying Grahamity
    And he can't bring me down…

  4. I told myself that today I would sit down at my desk and do some proper work to make up for not having done any work on Friday or Saturday

    Instead I loafed about on the couch reading a trashy Cold War spy novel, wasting time on social media and trying to groom matted bits out of #Grahamstodon’s fur as he scratched and bit my hands in fury

    every so often I’d get off the couch to potter into the kitchen and make myself a little snack, like crackers with cheese and dip and sliced tomatoes, or Greek yoghurt with Milo stirred through

  7. I'm obsessed with the cats who live in and around my apartment complex and whom I only glimpse

    Moonlight (black with dash of white on chest) lives across the hall from me and loves to strut about outside. Is the neighbourhood darling, often patted & photographed by studenty types on the street. Has Cat Business at a house on the other side of the street that involves staring intensely into some weeds. I occasionally let her into the building and knock on her door for her. She's going to give her owners a lot of grief when the cat curfew comes in soon

    Other local cats I'm obsessed with include:

    – Medium-haired young tuxedo (was a kitten but must now be fully grown) who used to sit in their bathroom windowsill which is visible from my balcony, and at whom I used to slow-blink and chirrup ingratiatingly, and once held #Grahamstodon up to look at, but neither of them gave a fuck. Haven't seen this guy in a while

    – Lovely long-haired blue-grey cat in the next balcony over from mine, whose doting owner (whom I have seen cuddling this cat on the balcony) has devoted the whole balcony to a multi-storey cat enclosure. It looks like they keep the balcony door open 24/7 for access, and I've puzzled about how this works in winter

    – Long slender white-and-orange cat who often sits in a window of the next building, opposite my bedroom. I used to wonder if this cat was real or decor, and once I cheered loudly, "YOU'RE REAL!" when I saw them actually move, which made them look at me

    – Bonded pair two buildings down: a tiny friendly tortoiseshell with no eyes whose wary tabby pal keeps a lookout for her. I have spotted them in the front yard; if you say hello to the tortie to say you are there, she will accept chin-scratches

    – Fluffy dilute (apricot-toned) ginger who lives at the house across the road where Moonlight has Cat Business. I have never seen this cat out the front, but when I've walked down the back laneway I've seen them perching on their back fence and have had chirruping convos with them

    – Young-looking thin grey cat I just saw in our back garden while I was watering my plants just now. I chirruped at them and they looked up warily but padded cautiously away. I wonder if this cat lives with one of my neighbours or was just visiting

    There are definitely more cats tucked away nearby – I think I've seen a tabby in the window of the next apartment over from Long Peaches and Cream

    I wish I could be friends with them all, and that they could be friends with Graham, although the other day I brought Graham out onto the landing to say hi to Moonlight, who didn't give a shit, and Graham was more excited about being allowed outside my house out of his carrier

    Thank god nobody ever sees my Mastodon posts because this is the most cat-crazed I have ever allowed myself to be on main

  10. I’ve had a temperature tracking device in my living room for three years, since 2 August 2022, when I first participated in the ‘Winter Renters’ citizen science research project run by the lobby group Australian Renters to demonstrate the conditions renters experience in their homes

    The lowest temperature my tracker has recorded is 13.5C, on 3 July 2024

    It got down to 13.8C on 7 July 2024

    14.1C on 1 August 2024

    14.4C on 22 June 2025

    14.6C on 24 July 2025

    14.9C at 8am today

    To me these are still pretty comfortable conditions – what I call ‘jumper weather’ – though I can tell they bother my elderly arthritic cat #Grahamstodon, who will pester me to be cuddled at my desk

    Though my muscles do get quite stiff after hours working in my unheated study, it’s a far cry from previous rentals where my hands would ache from the cold and I would have to wear fingerless gloves at my desk to type properly

    I seem to recall that my previous two houses could get down to 12C, although I don’t have any hard data because I used to just use a thermometer

    I still have that thermometer set up in my hallway: it’s pretty accurate to the living-room tracker even though I keep my toilet and bathroom windows open a couple of inches year-round, for airflow

  15. Oh my god, feeling like I'm falling apart today

    I wasted yesterday hanging out with my friend Karen and viewing wattle as it is #WattleSeason

    then I had to work into the night to make up for the lost time. Went to bed at like 3:30am

    #Grahamstodon lay on me while I was in bed and I somehow wrenched my shoulder in my sleep

    now when I try to use my computer mouse, my little finger tingles. That can't be good

    Trying to get by on a leftover apple scroll from yesterday, and a mug of strong Irish tea – my friend Em recently gave me a pack of Barry's that she had bought ages ago (on my recommendation) to please an Irish ex who turned out to be careless with my friend's tender heart

    but I have to stop work soon anyway, as today is my friend Jess's funeral

    Jess was immensely witty and charismatic, but she was chronically ill and suffered all her life. She was only just coming into her powers as a writer

    Going back over her Instagram posts in bed at 3:30am, I was reminded how hard she fought for life and how fiercely she strove not to be defined by her physical frailty, to the point where I sincerely believed she could survive every health crisis and was genuinely shocked when she died suddenly

    she had a post where she spoke about wanting to write another book, but being afraid that her health would not hold out. It is so bitter to know, months later, that it didn't, and that Jess must have been troubled by many more such thoughts that she never let slip in public like that

    my whingeing about my own body shames me by comparison, just as I feel ashamed posting about my stupid cat's mania for food as the population of #Gaza is murdered with horrible slowness by lsraeI's deliberate starvation

    how can we honour the dead and keep our own hearts from giving out in such times?

  20. Just realised that all the mince pies I’ve been eating have been providing me with anti-5G protective helmets for #Grahamstodon

  23. So I took #Grahamstodon to the vet because “he was miaowing really loudly and he hid under my bed which he only does when he’s very stressed”

    and she prescribed gabapentin, which he has previously had as a pre-vet sedative, at a lower dose as pain relief for his arthritic hips

    Me, artlessly, to the vet, “So I was reading the health insurance CEO killer’s manifesto today, and he says his mum was taking gabapentin for her chronic pain”

    She nods, “yes, it’s a human drug too”

    So far the gaba seems to be manifesting mainly in a renewed zest for batting at my indoor plants. He’s got the big stoned pupils

    my dreams of Grahambapentin allowing me to groom the mats out of his fur appear not to be fulfilled at this low dose

    He’s on half a capsule but the vet said that as he is a Lorge cat he could potentially have a whole capsule without too much sedative effect

    I’ve tried various therapies for this animal’s arthritis if you ever want any advice about Synovan, Solensia, Metacam or Epiitalis Forte

    my dreams of Grahambapentin allowing me to groom the mats out of his fur appear not to be fulfilled at this low dose

    He’s on half a capsule but the vet said that as he is a Lorge cat he could potentially have a whole capsule without too much sedative effect

    I’ve tried various therapies for this animal’s arthritis if you ever want any advice about Synovan, Solensia, Metacam or Epiitalis Forte

  26. Every time I see one of my friends post a tribute to their pet who has just died, I think about the day, sooner than I expect, when I will have to tell social media that #Grahamstodon is no more

    To them, it will be a little moment of sadness because the pet they’ve seen me post about is dead

    But to me it will be a huge loss because I don’t have much else in my life

    It is silly to mourn him while he is still alive… so far

  31. Just put way too much thought into a throwaway joke about how #Grahamstodon is a purebred Australian Fool, and his pedigree name is Meridionali Stultus Griseoviculus

    I wanted to blend the tropes of cat pedigree names (breeder name/cat name) and Roman nomenclature (praenomen, nomen, cognomen)

    I don’t know why I picked #Latin as the lingua felem nomen

    So my cattery is branded as Meridionali Stultus – which sounds like a plausible name for a breeder of Australian Fools – but also Graham is a member of the gens Stultii and his praenomen is Meridionali

    although in Latin maybe Meridianus would be a better praenomen

    Anyway, one possible etymology of the name Graham is ‘grey hamlet’, so I have made an equivalent cod-Latin mashup as his cognomen
