I was afraid he’d fled the deck last night after I spilled the tuna near his “safe place”, but true to form for a scared indoor cat, he didn’t go far, he just crawled into the hot tub shed. When I opened the door, he started crying louder than I’ve ever heard him cry, […]

He’s under our deck and terrified. He moves only when he’s too utterly terrified *not* to move — ie, feels threatened. He’s hanging in the darkest, smallest, “safest” spots.
Tim, dude, we need a little help from you to bring you back inside where you’ll be warm and safe. I know it’s cold […]
Tim got out today during an open house. I don’t know how. Our agent knows that the cats don’t go outside & Tim usually hides far away from prying eyes when there are strangers in the house (defined by him as pretty much anyone but the girls & P & me. Only […]
I made sourdough today. It’s the very best fresh out of the oven, crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. OM NOM NOM NOM!
It’s been interesting watching the remaining kitties adjust to the lack of Siobhan. She was definitely our alpha female who ran the place. ‘Spew is […]
One week later from the day she went, she’s home in a nice little urn with a nice little paw print in clay that the vet’s office made.
That is all.
About a half hour until we leave to go look at some houses. M2 is running a fever (or was before I bribed her with an otter pop to take some tylenol). She ate some saltines & drank some juice & is coming around a little.
Thank you all for your kind […]
She’s gone. The vet called us first thing this morning to let us know we should come over because it was time & so we went, but she went first. I hope she didn’t feel abandoned, but I think with as fast as she went, it was just that she couldn’t hang on. […]
I called the vet this evening just to see how things were going. When Paul got her in, her temp had dropped so low that it didn’t register on her thermometer. They had it up to 90F by the time I called. Siobhan was breathing funny so she took an x-ray. There’s fluid around her […]
The last couple days have been interesting. I wish that SiobhanTheCat weren’t so alarmingly sick though. She’s still drinking water, but I had to feed her some dinner with a syringe. It was stressing her out so I stopped at one syringe. She hasn’t really eaten since yesterday morning & is […]
The congestion in my chest has moved entirely to my head. The snuffly head overflowing made me get up earlier than the rest of my body wanted to & from then until just now, I’ve been cleaning, trying to get this house into ‘on sale’ order. Oof with the cleaning & scrubbing & vacuuming & […]
