Kevin and Accusations

Kevin is a young man who is from New Jersey. When I met him I was staying with Sklyar and Mike. He is 23 and has at least one child. He was doing heroin when I met him. Shortly after he was staying with Skylar and Mike he quit using thanks to Mike. He used to have a good job and stuff. He was in jail for a time. He had to promise his child's mother that he wouldn't get into trouble again, otherwise he couldn't see his kid. So, he isn't doing illegal activities other than the drugs every no and then.He gave me the last flower of the season before there were no more flowers. He is really sweet.. He has a wife in prison for something.

I was on Facebook the other day and I saw a cute outside shelter for cats. I mentioned that I was homeless and then a woman who commented after me said that I was just using Cooper to write and blog and that I should go home. Well, I don't have a home. I can't work at the job that I was offered by my ex boss because I can't move things out of that store.

I was to stay with the guy who beat me, but I refuse to be a man's punching bag. He even offered to help me get a place. But why would I do that if it would make him think that we are still together? I am not that type of person. He even wouldn't feed Cooper when he was hungry and had no food. So, I can't stay with a man like that. So, I won't even play with the idea of staying with him or making him think that I will stay with him. So, I have valid points of why I don't have a place to stay. I am protecting myself and my cat!!!

A woman came by earlier today and saw Cooper in his cage. She said that I was inhumane and cruel to him. I told her, that I keep him in the cage mostly because of his harness is falling apart. Which is the truth. I do take him out to use his litter box and to eat multiple times a day unless it is raining. The reason why this is the exception is that if he or I get sick, there will be most stress between the two of us. So, he stays dry and so do I. Rain hardly ever lasts a full 24 hours.So, he will eat that day too. She came back later and I showed her Cooper and she said again that the cage is too small. I told her that I totally agree. But that I am trying to get a bigger one for him... He also has pet insurance. So, he is pretty healthy and safe considering everything. Cooper will wear his light weight coat tonight because of the temperature being 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

It rained yesterday for over 12 hours. Cooper did make an accident in his cage. I also worked on staying dry and did my work on the computer too. I just didn't get a lot of sleep, because it is hard for me to sleep standing up...Only my feet up below my mid calf got wet. I was very happy about that. It did take me forever in the middle of the night to find a bathroom to use. I had to move my bowels and both of the outhouses were dirty with shit on the sitting area. But I did find a bathroom.

    1. I don't know. I just know when I try to take it in, they refuse to let me take it. They have a metal detector in the front of the building so you can't take it in. There is also a metal gate around the whole property
