Jett had a blockage in his urinary track. By the time he got to the vet, they said his kidneys had probably already shut down and he would have to go to an animal hospital for treatment. Which I could not afford. Just the initial visit was almost past what I could pay. I had to ask my mom to help me pay for him to be put to sleep, otherwise he ( Read more... )

Last night I got hit with the organizational stick. I spent 2 hours rearranging my fabric closet. It looks much better now, and none of the fabric is on the floor anymore. Now to tackle the Pile O' UFOs. I think most of them just need to be dissolved back into the stash. The exceptions would be Timeless Polonaise, Teh Momster's 'Bethan, the ( Read more... )

And by 'helping' I mean 'slamming his head into whatever bodiliy protuberance of mine he could find and rubbing against it rather gratuitously'. It's really adorable, because he starts what I call hurring--his very breathy purr--and just goes to town. It's also kind of annoying, because he is a big kitty and can shove me off the bed if I'm not ( Read more... )

I've been trying to figure out why she kept opening the bottom drawer in the kitchen. Last night I found out. She's been climbing back behind it to the cabinet space. I caught her in the act. I Do Not want her (or him although he would never fit) back in there because I don't know what's there, what's been sprayed back there, whether she can ( Read more... )

( Beleive not in the cuteness for herein lies The Evil One )

I picked up 12.4 million cat toys Friday night so I could vacuum (to avoid the dreaded Disapproving Mother Face - Carpet Variation 2). I'd like to say I don't know how they can have so many, but that would be a lie. I know perfectly well that it is the Cat Toy Fairy ( Read more... )

I got on The Evil One's bad side last night. I cleaned her ears.

The funny thing is, even after the yowling, explosion of white fur, scratches and bites, and one tiny little hiss--she still had to come and sit on my lap while I watched TV.

Incidently, I have a funny cat story related to last week's AC FolliesI may have mentioned the Wee Beasties' way to beat the heat which consisted of laying around doing nothing. Well, once the place cooled back down they became much more rambunctious. I was sitting on the sofa watching something edutaimental and I hear this yowl start up in the ( Read more... )

Teh Momster is all a-splodey with creativity lately. She started working on a "pioneer dress" from McCall's M9423 to wear to Candlelight. She wasn't happy with how it was coming out--she thought it was way too big. (It fit fine over the shoulders, so I think it was just way more full than she wanted) So we went to Joann's and trolled the ( Read more... )

So Saturday morning I woke up suddenly at around 5 or so. I lay there for a minute trying to figure out why I'm awake. My eyes start to drift around looking for a likely cause--what the? Is that a person? No, it can't be--wait, it moved it's arm!! OMGTHEREISSOMEONESTANDINGOVERTHERE!!!!!! AAAHHH!!! AAAHHH!!! AAAHHH!!! A--uh? They split in ( Read more... )
