Is the cat ok? That's very important

Hi everyone, OP here (well my nickname's gonna show so I'm not sure I needed to say it, but whatever)! Thanks for all the wishes and hugs. <3 First, I saw a few people ask about the cat; she's perfectly fine! And it wasn't actually my cat, it was my mom's boyfriend's... My cat and I live in Baton Rouge in an apartment with my dad, and I had just moved in there in April, so the majority of my things were here but... I had left my memorabilia box (the cards from my grandfather, a lot of childhood books and stuffed animals, the awards, etc.) at my mom and her boyfriend's house in Denham Springs (which, to any of you fellow Louisianians, you know the entire town was flooded), and I had forgotten some of my art supplies and old sketchbooks there alongside my Xbox and Wii unfortunately.Anyway, I actually have some good news: I had submitted this before I was able to go back to the house to salvage things and so when I did manage to go through the flooded stuff (after the water receded, of course), I was able to save a lot of it! Funnily enough, my Wii had been in a plastic tub that also floated, so that was safe. I got to wring out my stuffed animals, and wash them at a laundromat, and I also managed to carefully separate the flooded cards and lay them out in the sun to dry... very happy about that! Again, thanks guys :^) and to any of you that went through the flood as well, I hope you're doing ok and that your families were safe.

At least you and your family are safe. Things - minus the memorabilia of your grandfather - can be replaced. And even those sentimental items aren't what mattered - it was the memories they represented. I'm not belittling the loss, of course. Just trying to provide another way of looking at things. I wish you a speedy recovery of your life, OP.

not the art supplies!!!

Now we know that not only does shit float, but a bucket of shit floats too. So sorry for your loss, OP. What's most important is that no one was harmed.

Lol, my friends had to use a canoe to get to their vehicle in that flood.

I feel for you OP! I know it's not the same but I moved to Missouri last year and at that time had a horse, well the barn owner told me that the barns might flood and if so they will remove the horses to their facility higher up. Well what they forgot to mention to an outsider was that by "the barn might flood" they REALLY meant "the ENTIRE FACILITY WILL GO UNDER THE WATER" So I had a $1800 full leather wooden tree saddle in my lock box that stayed under nasty water for 3 days. Sucks so bad, but thankfully you did get to rescue a few things and really glad y'all are safe hopefully insurance will help cover some costs, I know the sentiment is gone but some cash would help ease the pain.

Good for your cat! Sorry for your loss of assets, but look on the bright side! Your cat got to keep their beloved box!

Hey look! It's the S.S. Cat Shit!

sending love to my home state! so glad everyone is ok!❤️
