Bye?

Well, there's more actually, and I've been waiting for the moment to say something. ☝

I would say that it's been a good run, but it really hasn't.

The Internet is what it is, but there is one thing that has bothered me since the beginning, and that is your company never takes much action when it comes to someone asking you for help because they are getting bullied.

Cyber-bullying is real and other social media websites recognize this. These companies make the smart decision to employ people who specifically review reports. Security of self expression = more loyalty = more profit. Many people here have had meltdowns (including myself) and some people have even disappeared completely.

Once again, the Internet is what it is, and that's not your fault, but running a subpar social media website is. 👎

Also, I'm confused because it seems like you don't want to make money? Maybe you have an ace up your sleeve? A partnership with a company like Sony or something? Who knows. Who cares?

I decided I would share some photos of one of three cats I own. He always makes these really intense facial expressions. With big eyes like his and bold stripes, he is like a tiger! 😂

This is Tex, who I named after my favorite classic cartoon animator, Tex Avery. Tex is like a son to me. 💗

He was born on the same day my first pet passed. I had discovered him in the morning, in a little cat shelter we had set up outside for strays months ago, with his mom and unfortunately, stillborn twin. This was St. Patrick's Day, only a week after my birthday. 🍀

Some time passed, and my mom and I noticed that one of Tex's eyes was still shut with some kind of discharge. We treated his eye everyday and one day, it opened! We were so happy!

However, we soon discovered that his eye was cloudy and he was partially blind, which our vet later confirmed that his condition was something he was born with.

Because Tex had a bad eye, he struggled quite a bit. He also had a partially crooked tail.

Eventually, his mother abandoned him, even though he was a little less than a month old. So, we took care of Tex, who essentially never left our house...

Until one day... My dad was coming home from work and saw him walking down the middle of the street. My dad picked Tex up and brought him to the door, which mom and I both answered. Dad then asked us if this was the kitten we were taking care of, and told us he was just walking down the street. Without a moment's hesitation, I immediately snatched Tex from him and brought him upstairs to my room. That day, I decided that he would be my cat.

Not too much later, we found out that not only was Tex partially blind, but he was displaying Autistic behaviors.

He didn't know how to eat, snuffing food into his nose, which constantly gave himself infections.

Whenever he went to drink out of his water dish, he would lay on his side and just move his arms, pushing the dish away. Tex would only lick the rim of the dish where there was barely any water.

He also displayed severe texture issues and had touch sensitivity. Tex avoided touching a lot of things and began to avoid petting. Also, because he was abandoned so young, he was not socialized properly, so he would bite A LOT and in a way that resembled attacking prey...

My mom and I were constantly taking him to the vet to treat him for his eye and whenever he got sick, which was often. We spent thousands of dollars on him... But I didn't care because I love him like he is my own son.

Unfortunately, my vet passed away, not getting a chance to see that because of him, Tex had become a lot healthier cat... 😢

I can't imagine living without Tex. 8 years has passed and even though Tex is not the easiest cat to live with, I love him so, so much. ❤

I hope more people adopt special needs pets because quite often they aren't, for infinite amounts of reasons... 😔
