Today marks the two-year anniversary of Rosa's and my life together. Hooray for possibly the best decision of my life so far! We have celebrated with some roast chicken. Rosa tells me it's the one true cat food.

I may have found a catsitter! I asked the people from whom I adopted Rosa if there were any other people in my area that had adopted cats from them, and it turns out that there is an elderly lady right across the street from me who has recently adopted a boy cat, and who said she didn't mind looking after Rosa for me. They gave me her number and I ( Read more... )

Friday: Went to Sjöbo for the big country fair, with bracke, nazgman and the Seamstress. It's a huge country fair and it took us around six or seven hours to walk through it all. I got myself a mandoline vegetable slicer and a beautiful Tibetan (purported) yak wool shawl (although I haven't yet tested the fibre). Also a mother-of-pearl necklace in the shape of ( Read more... )

My previous experience of cats is that when you do something unpleasant to/with them, they will get into a Mighty Huff and punish you by not deigning to pay any attention to you (except at mealtimes ( Read more... )

She has brought me so much joy and light, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that my life is so much better just because of her presence. She's my little darling and I feel so ( Read more... )

Today Rosa has spent all day at the vet's. I took her in this morning and picked her up again this evening. My doggie neighbours had bought an old stroller (a sturdy one with good wheels) at a flea market a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out that Rosa's carrier fit perfectly in it, so I borrowed it and walked her to and from the train stations ( Read more... )

~ I think Rosa has a pollen allergy. Her eyes seem a bit runnier than usual, and she sneezes occasionally. Come to think of it, it's almost exactly a year since I started visiting her in her previous residence, and she was sneezing a bit then too ( Read more... )

The vet called me this afternoon, and said that judging by the sample I gave them on Friday, Rosa seems completely recovered from her UTI. There was no sign of bacteria or nasty crystals or anything in it. So that's the last of the antibiotics! Now there is the matter of her teeth left to deal with. I'll have to check my calendar and find a good ( Read more... )
