My daughter told me that the gift I had given her friend's mother for hosting a team get-together was thrown in the trash. Apparently it was too creepy. And I want to cry because I put so much thought into it and it hurts me that the thought wasn't even appreciated. And honestly just tell me you don't think you'll use it and give it back to me. I'd rather have it back than have it in the trash.

So the mother had talked about her difficulty with getting her cat into a carrier to go to the vet, even when he was ill and really needed to go. I felt like it was in my wheelhouse - cats are my job. I know it's not the most appealing looking thing, but a grooming mask, put on a little cat face for 2 seconds is enough to grab them and put them into a carrier. So I had got her one of those, just for emergencies! I also got her feliway spray to spritz into the carrier to calm the poor fella down on his vet visits. What is so creepy about that?

I did redeem myself somewhat apparently with 2 cat toys. But the mask and the spray were thrown in the trash. Not only that but apparently thrown away with a good case of the heebies jeebies over how creepy they were.

I'm sorry for trying. No-one else bought a hostess gift.

You're either reading this thinking OMG no wonder she has no friends, or maybe a few of you out there can relate, I don't know. You tell me.
