About 15 minutes ago, I heard Simon meowing at the front door. I thought it was odd, as he usually scratches at the door, and his meow sounded strange. I opened the door, and he comes in, with a small bird in his mouth (which is the reason for his odd sounding meow). However, the bird was alive. So of course it's flapping around, freaking me ( Read more... )

Last night, I got some sleep! I think Simon is finally getting the idea that he's not allowed out at night, and to STFU when I'm sleeping. Shortly before I went to bed, around 1:30am, I opened the door to investigate an annoying sound (it was a car's bass), so Simon tried to sneak out. I caught him, and a few minutes later, as I was getting ( Read more... )

Lately, Simon has been really annoying, and preventing me from getting a decent night's sleep. He's an outdoor cat, and despite keeping him indoors for a year when Dave and I first got him, we realized that we just can't fight it--he's an outdoor cat. So we finally gave in and let him venture out, and he was much happier. So whenever possible I' ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I left my house to go out, and my cat, Simon, started following us. My friend and I were walking slowly and kept looking back at Simon, waving, and saying things like, "Hi Simon!", "Bye Simon!" etc ( Read more... )

A little while ago, I heard Simon banging about in my bedroom. I didn't bother to check on him as I could hear that he wasn't knocking anything over, and figured that he was probably just jumping in and on boxes. But after several minutes I decided to check on him, and saw feathers everywhere, and a dead bird! I don't know what kind of bird it ( Read more... )

Simon just brought a dead bird into the house. I don't know if it's the same one that was in my house the other day, but it's the same kind of bird.

I found two small bird feathers (and a leaf) in my bedroom. Hmmm...

I don't have a cat carrier, so whenever I take Simon to the vet, I put in him a box with holes cut in the sides and the lid. About half an hour ago, Simon crawled into the box and I put the lid on it (if he wanted to get out, he could easily push the lid off, or I would let him out). I totally forgot about him being in the box, because he's been ( Read more... )

About 15 minutes ago, Simon walked into the house with a bird in his mouth. A live bird. I freaked out and scolded Simon, and he took the bird into the bathroom (I can't quite remember if he took the bird into the bathroom or if he let it go and it flew into the bathroom, but either way, they both ended up in the bathroom). I heard a kerfuffle ( Read more... )

Simon didn't have any diarrhea on Saturday, and took a normal crap on Sunday, but I was still worried, because it appeared that he hadn't urinated since at least Friday night, perhaps even earlier. There was a chance that he peed while he was outside, but it was suspicious that there was no indication of urine in his kitty litter, so I became ( Read more... )
