Oh look at her, isn't she just lovely <3 We've tried taking Luna out on a lead but she just hates it! I'm glad to see your kitty is better behaved than mine lol

Hahaha you never know what they’re going to like or dislike, right? I was worried she’d hate it but she was pretty damn happy and did NOT want to come back inside. Made me happy to see her rolling around in the grass and sniffing the wind and looking speculatively at trees.

Ashoka is gorgeous, by the way!

What did you do to leash train her? I've had mine on leash and harness (prior to Australian Winter), and my only issue was that they keep taking off in different directions!

Sounds like you did ok then! Everything I read told me to expect that when we go outside, the cat will be walking ME and not the other way around. As in, cats will be cats and wander in their own direction and all you need to do is make sure they don’t go anywhere they shouldn’t and be quick on the reflexes to snatch them up if anything. I cannot imagine trying to walk two at once, just following her around was like navigating an obstacle course >.<

I started out by having her wear the harness for 5-10 minute intervals over the course of a month. She acted like I was killing her but she can be a bit dramatic. While she’s wearing it she’d get treats and playtime to associate the harness with fun. Just kept increasing the amount of time she would wear it over the next couple of months and the past 2 weeks have been her wearing it for an hour or so a day till she was walking around in it pretty comfortably. Took her outside and expected her to be scared but she had no hesitation and was off like a rocket lol. 

@doka-chan

WOW Roy ! I like it when he is impressing me in the right way. *claps hands* Wonderful speech!

Roy is a talented spin doctor, hehehehe. He can twist nearly any situation to put himself in a favourable light! But that said, he did make some very salient points. 

@wannabecatwriter

And for once, he's totally right.

for once, lmbooo!

@princessdejamars

well spoken...but will she take the advice....is she ready to take this step and go fight for her life ...her man.....??

@ktarsims

XD He happens to be kind of right... but he’d be like this even if he was wrong...

@parystrange

I don't want her to get him back. She doesn't deserve him anymore.

@streetlightaurora

Aw, he does care.

@dandylion240

OMG Roy is making sense. She could have taken the opportunity to take what she wanted if that's what she wanted. I don't think she knows what she wants. Until she figures that out she's better off with no one.

I think she’s made her decision now. And who ever would have thought that Roy’s advice would be instrumental in helping her reach that decision!

@thewynd

Bravo Roy! He actually said something wise and on point! I hope she listens

@izayoichan

Yeah dumbarse, are you listening, cause you should be!

Listening to Roy isn’t something that is usually recommended...but this time he really did hit the nail on the head.

@shhhushhh

Speaking of hypocritical jerks, wasn't Georgie the one blowing off Roy's regular appointments with Crystal over the babyphone? Yes, she didn't do it on purpose bla bla bla, but by mistake, her mind too occupied with cutting plans how to destroy someone else's relationship (a little overexaggerating here 😋😋). But the result was the same, right?

Yes, the result was the same....excellent point as always, Mirena!! And @mochasims​ is thinking below that telling Bunty about Vinnie may have been payback for that....knowing Roy it would definitely have played a part, lololol!!

@mochasims

cute how roy turned that around like he dropped the news on bunty to do georgina a favor. he told bunty solely to gloat and piss her off. i also wouldn't be surprised if a little revenge was mixed in because georgina inadvertently outed his relationship with crystal 

@mochasims

i don't disagree with his advice that georgina needs to live in her truth but he needs not act like that was his intention for outing her business.

That’s why he’s so good at his job...he’s a master manipulator ;=)

@twinsimskeletons

Roy: I mean yolo right??

@sweetnovember77

I agree with Roy. Fighting for Vinnie could scare Georgina enough to face life’s challenges in a new way. 🤷🏾‍♀️The choice is hers. But I absolutely believe that committing to your growth is the most important thing to do when YOU ARE SINGLE and looking for love.

@rillensora

@mochasims I don’t think he was acting like he did Georgina a favor, though. He was more pointing out that what she chose to make of that situation was her responsibility. Roy isn’t the abuser here, Bunty is, and Georgie can’t be relying on anyone else to stand up to her abuser FOR her. And yeah, it’s fine to need help. But again, she has to be the one to call in that help.

I think that by pointing that out to Georgina, Roy was very deliberately creating a smokescreen to cover his true motives for telling Bunty about she and Vinnie. And Georgina probably wasn’t fooled, either, but was too distraught about Vinnie to care. But Roy was right, all the same- Georgina did have the perfect opportunity to declare her love for Vinnie to Bunty, but instead took the easy and cowardly road. Georgina’s learned a very hard lesson, and only time will tell if Vinnie will be able to forgive her. But she’s taken an amazing step in the right direction by calling Patrick.

@miraakles​

I mean... Roy's got a point, he does.. YOU CAN DO IT GEORGIE! BRING MY VINNIE BACK HE WAS MADE FOR YOU, YOU WERE MADE FOR HIM!!!!

@miraakles

I truly think Georgie and Vinnie are perfect for each other, it's easy to judge her for how she acted when he mom came and say what you would've done or what she should've done... but she has the burden of an addict on her shoulders.. I hope she can break free, she'll be a goddess when she does.

@alittledaylight

Don't worry about Vinnie... go get Joel! Sure you'll get your eyes torn out and never be able to sleep again with Anita out there but hey 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's Joel! 😏

@kscriba

WOW Roy actually owning his role as a brother for once

@princessdejamars

well now...did not expect that....i thought she might want to sample his goods....so to speak

@shhhushhh

Now I wonder... helping as smuggling larger sum or doing it instead of Mia?

Helping as in sharing the load ;=) 

@thewynd

That was definitely not what I thought she was going to say. But I guess "assets" can mean many things... ;)

@miraakles

Girl... You wanna talk about helping smuggle money instead of enjoying his assets!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

Nanette has her priorities...

@parystrange

I agree, nevermind about the money Nan, move in on those assets!

@ktarsims

I... kind of hope they don't let her do this. I don't think she's as um... 'slender' in certain areas as Mia is, and she's also definitely not as cool a customer as her daughter.

@sleazy4goopy

Hmm. Something about the whole situation seems off to me. If I were Nanette, and Renny said no to that question, I'd immediately suspect Renny and Raj both have an inkling the smuggling might not go as well for Mia as they've told her. Renny is too perfect and Raj's post-prison demeanor puts me on edge, so maybe I'm just paranoid!

@sweetnovember77

Sim-Lord have mercy. Nanette, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

@weicyn

That thunk you heard was my jaw hitting the ground 😱😱

@mysimsloveaffair

That's the last thing I thought she'd say. It doesn't sound like a very good idea at all.

@hypersims

And suddenly she becomes a rather demanding woman! ;)

@princessdejamars

Naughty Nanette.....& ravishing Renny

@shhhushhh

She sounds as if she is on something and probably the feeling is quite the same. I personally think Mia would have lots of objections. And can't stop thinking it was part of the plan to involve her Nanette too - all that's going on with Renny.

Nanette has been seduced by the glamour and excitement of Raj and Renny’s world. She is definitely on a high, but it’s a natural one. Great observation, Mirena! But the only thing Renny is guilty of is being a player ;=)

@holleyberry

I don't think this is a good decision Nan.

@wannabecatwriter

But didn't Raj recruit Mia because she has a great poker face? Nanette is very sweet, but doesn't strike me as someone who can do anything under pressure.

@simcatcher

Nanette ah Nanette ❤ finally getting frenched ! Uehehe

@miraakles

*screams* YYYAAAAAAAASSSSS. GET IT GIRL! Also... This will be amusing.

@ktarsims

>_>;;

@sweetnovember77

Oh dear sim-lord. Perhaps, this is why they say pretty girls/ladies should shut up.

@ivorycrayon

Ouch, Nanette. Guess there’s no moral compass there. If bored, smuggle money :p

In a nutshell, lololol, but I hope I will be able to provide a more nuanced explanation for her behavior in the coming chapters.

@rillensora

Well, there IS a Korean saying that the quietest cat is the first one on the hob...

Yes, it’s always the quiet ones!!

@rillensora

That said, she should REALLY discuss this with Mia first, because I don’t think Mia was ever intending this to be more than a one-time thing. 

She definitely has to discuss it with Mia. But Raj did say here that he probably anticipated Mia making 3 or 4 trips. 

@weicyn

My face was like 😦 through this post and then Renny leaned in and I went "KISS! KISS! KISS!" excuse me while I continue to chant 😂😂
