Initially I thought I'd be going to take care of getting a new SSI card today, but then I decided that no, considering the pain, it could wait. But then I decided, hey, we need petfood in a bad way. So I walked to the closer petstore (at only a 30 minute walk, opposed to the 40 minute walk) to get petfood ( Read more... )

Bee and Snitch went with Grim and the Princess to the vets last Saturday. Squee! Grim got the last round of his vaccines, and is going back in a month to get, um, rabies, and we would be terribly upset if the same "mistake" that happened to his father while there happened to him as well. But it's probably going to. Because we don't want no more ( Read more... )

Apparently Sassy and Zerk (who is SUCH a cat tease!) were playing together last night. They couldn't be honest about it, though, because Sassy is too queenly and mature to *play*, especially with one of those other beasts. Please. She is not *his* queen, after all ( Read more... )

I'm not sure why. I get to sit (and in this case, finish a ten-page letter to a certain someone in RI) and be quiet and listen to the washing machines. It's theraputic. It may be that it was some alone time I could count on when Jeff and I were together, but I'm doubtful because he was very good at giving me space when I needed it ( Read more... )

It was a hard, HARD kitty weekend here at the Nunnery. On Friday eretik came over to steal adopt Shygirl and Scout (on a total side, or not really but I want to make this look casual, as though I'm not emotionally invested at all in the answer, are you considering renaming them? Yes, we are attached to those names, but they are also HORRIBLE names for ( Read more... )

Oh, gods, are they insaneWhen I changed their paper yesterday, there were a few kitten droppings to be found, and I was on the fence about the consistancy of it all, searching and dreading signs of illness. I was a wee bit worried yesterday morning when, after a small break in their playtime, Little Brother seemed only interested in climbing me ( Read more... )

She's still around, but things aren't great for cats on the street. :( I saw her two days ago, and she was looking.... off? Dirty, a bit greasy-ish. I dismissed it as her being wet; it had been raining that day. Laure saw her yesterday and she looked much the same. On our way back inside from the dog walk this morning, she came out. I looked ( Read more... )

The grey beauty didn't start by seeking me out -- none of us working last night saw him come in, but Larry found him sitting in the film drop off box around 5am. Out the guard put him (and rightly ticked me off. Scared kitty, and he's carrying him away from him like he's plagued. Grrrowl) and in he came totting in. I grabbed him, brought him ( Read more... )

So, after sending in my taxes this year, at Laure's prompting and added info sent from the tax people, I discovered that I was actually entitled to getting a larger refund. So I sent in the paperwork and promptly forgot about it ( Read more... )

He had the most gorgeous amber eyes, and he followed me half-way home, batting those beauties at me. I melted. I had to sneak away from him after I made the mistake of running my hands through that gorgeous, lush fur. I can't help it. They're so pretty. Boys, girls, it doesn't matter ( Read more... )
