So, this morning as I was locking up my apartment door I heard the softest little "meow" and felt something soft doing figure eights around my legs. I look down to see a beautiful Calico cat that's mostly orange and black with little bits of white on her chest and paws. She didn't have a collar, but the way she acted and looked (she was definitely not underfed) I could tell she was a house cat. I had to go take care of a family friend's dog that morning and assumed "Oh, someone must have just let her out for a while, she'll be back with her family by the time I get back."
She was still there when I got back, running happily towards me, meowing. I put my stuff down in my apartment and she tries to follow me inside. I come out and walk to the office, and she follows me some of the way, but stays around my building (which makes me think her owners lives on one of the three floors in this building). My building is right next to the office so it takes less than a minute to get there, but UH OH, the office isn't open on Sundays...
So, I go on with my day, worrying about the cat the WHOLE time and hoping it wouldn't get run over (the road is very close).
I come back for the night at 7. I had gotten a container of dry cat food from my mom's house just in case no one had taken her in yet. I sort of shake the container around and she comes running up to me. I've put out two small bowls for her, one with cat food and one with water. I would let her inside, but my boyfriend is highly allergic to animal hair of any kind (he doesn't live with me, but he stays over a lot and has all of his carnivorous hanging pitcher plants here because my apartment gets a lot of good sunlight).
Any idea what I should do? It's been getting pretty cold out (for the south), and a lot of the neighbors have dogs...
What do?

First Time Blocking Someone ^U^
So, I made the mistake of replying to someone who I've been sick of seeing journals from, and they completely lost their shit at me.
This person (or multiple people, who the hell knows) has been harassing the same few people for a few months now with journals nearly identical to this one.
I got fed up with it, so I replied that I reported their journal.
Well, 3 minutes later my phone starts blowing up with dA notifications.
I log onto dA on my computer and see this...
Each and every note was pretty much the same copy-pasted sentence...
So, yeah, they've been blocked, but they will likely just start making other accounts (as they've been
Where's First Contact?
UPDATE IN BOLD BELOW!
Hello all you lovely people!
So, it's been a while, huh?
I'm sure some of you are wondering where my novel is, if you haven't completely forgotten about it like i did but not really
Well, I'll let you guys in on a little update, as well as ask for some advice!
So, in the (holy crap, it's been that long??) 8 months since I uploaded the first chapter, I have already changed my mind on a lot of the ways the story will go. One major change is that Riley will only have one parent, her mother (for a plot point that comes up HELLA later, like probably book 2 or 3), and since both her parents have been introduced already.
Minor Title Change!
Yo!
Some of you may have noticed that I've made a slight alteration to the title of my book series.
(First Contact [Ch.1])
Instead of it being called "Planetary Exchange Program", I've chosen to rename it to "Interstellar Exchange Program". My reason for doing so being a detail which has not yet been revealed in the first book so far. I prefer "Interstellar" to "Planetary" since there could be intelligent lifeforms living on not just planets, but moons as well. Possibly even large spacecrafts that act as artificial planets (at least in the canon of this series), so I thought "Interstellar" would work best, considering it's much more likely
Your Artwork is Most Likely Being Stolen
This is a PSA for EVERYONE on this site.
http://wallpart.com/ is stealing everyone's art and selling them as posters.
Currently, my Luna fan art is being sold for $6.59, but clicking on it brings me to another page.
(Honestly I'm not sure whether to be proud or offended, this is the first time something like this has ever happened to me, my art must be somewhat good!)
Just by searching your own username, you are likely to find some of your artwork there.

Take the cat to a vet and ask them to scan it for a microchip. That could be the quickest way to get her back to her family (assuming there is one). You don't have to have them look her over healthwise or anything unless you want to.
You know what, it's your problem if you want it to be your problem. I love that you have a big enough heart to care for this loving, lost creature that you worry about her and have already started feeding her. If we always 'let someone else handle it,' nothing would ever get done.
If it comes right down to it, find a no-kill shelter in your area and take her there. You can also post notices on Craigslist or in the main entryway of your apartment building.
Good luck! I hope you find her people
I never did for my two girls and they're now spoiled rotten and well loved.
