This morning I got quite a bit accomplished before work. First I took Josie and Kiera to the vet for their annual checkup and shots. I captured Kiera by putting out tinned food. I did at least let her eat for a few minutes before snagging her. She started meowing pitifully which caused the other cats to scatter. Ignatius was the first to return to ( Read more... )

This morning when I awoke all 4 cats were on the bed with me. This is somewhat unusual. Most of the time at least one of them refuses to be in the same area with one of the others. Two cats were cuddled up against me. The other two were on Eldred's unoccupied side of the bed. It was lovely. I was able to sleep in because Monday is my day to work ( Read more... )

This morning, as usual, the cats followed me around. In Kiera's case she followed Ignatius around. I can manage to pet her while she is absorbed in watching Ignatius or trying to get his attention. Anyway, I came out of the bathroom into the bedroom. There was a lump under the comforter. Josier was on the floor peering under the bed. I suspected it ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning I put a new roll of toilet paper on the holder before getting in the shower. When I stepped out of the shower I saw a big pile of paper on the floor under the toilet paper holder. There were three cats in the room, but none owned up to it. Ignatius pawed at the pile briefly until I chastised him. Then Josie walked up to the pile, ( Read more... )

My package arrived from Vitamin Shoppe yesterday. Eldred had brought it in and placed it just inside the front door. When I arrived home I moved it to just outside the living and plunked on the couch for a few minutes of TV before opening the box. As we were vegging on the couch, Eldred and I heard scratching noises coming from the foyer. It was ( Read more... )

Having always been a night owl, I like to sleep in whenever I can. Today was a day off since I worked the weekend and, normally, would be a lazy day of sleeping late and hanging about the house. Not so today. I had appointments. At least I had plenty of rest. I was so beat when I got home from work yesterday that I curled up on the couch and slept ( Read more... )

The kittens seem to be doing quite well. I think Eldred and I are more concerned than the kittens are. When I picked up the kittens they were awake. Kiera was huddled in the back of the carrier glaring at me. Josie was meowing. One of the assistants helped me put them in the car. I put them facing each other so that they could see something ( Read more... )

I just called the vet's office to check on the kittens. They are in recovery and doing fine. That's a relief!

I had a very laid back Valentine's Day. I managed not to indulge in sweets. I had one Krispy Kreme doughnut at work. If it had been Dunkin Donuts, I could have resisted, but I *love* Krispy Kreme. Eldred and I shared a fair trade organic dark chocolate with almonds bar after dinner. I feel pretty good about that. It's been almost two weeks since I ( Read more... )

Not to be left out, Josie has copied her sister. This afternoon she jumped onto the counter in the downstairs powder room. She stood on the counter and stretched up along the wall meowing at nothing. Maybe she was announcing her accomplishment.
