Quincy is at the vet’s for the night. He got upset being separated from us and ate a blanket. Ben has him in his care at the moment and I am to call tomorrow to see how he did. Poor dog, he has been vomiting since the incident (Saturday morning) and when Ben gave […]
It is spring cleaning time. This morning I put on some old albums from days gone by. The Very Best of Deep Purple is music to scrub floors and walls by~ A few minutes into the music and the cats come racing up the tunnel into the house…yes, I was playing the music loud. They […]
The bite is healing up well. Most of the wound is now covered and although the feeling isn’t all there yet, I can at least type comfortably. The antibiotic tears up my stomach, but at least it works.
It is a gorgeous day today. I took off the plastic we had covering the sides […]
Tonight while I was reading, a cat jumped on my lap. I am so used to sharing my lap that I was absentmindly petting the cat when it occurred to me that the fur felt funny - softer than most. Plus the cat was heavy. I looked over my book into the startled […]
I miss this lovely German shepherd dog and the adventures we shared. How she cared for the kittens, allowing the orphans to suckle her, or crawl all over her head without even moving. How patient she was with them, a far cry from the other dogs that followed her. I wish that Sharon were still […]
Thumb is still numb- hey that rhymes-:) I can only type for short periods of time.
Chappy has been injured. Looks like another cat has scratched his eye. He is effectively hiding from me after I put ointment in his eye and tried to see if the claw went into his eye or not. Now […]
Spent the better part of the afternoon in the ER today. The bite, even though I took such great care with it, got major infected. The ER doc told me that 89% of cat bites will become infected. I told him that I have been bit before, but that this time the bite felt “strange.” […]
Boy it has been years since I have been bitten by a feral cat. I managed to trap the new cat this morning, but when I went to transfer him from the trap (a homemade drop trap) to the carrier, I got bit in the process. He nailed my thumb. Two teeth went deep […]
Mercedes and Bently will be spayed tomorrow. Although they aren’t quite old enough, Bent has been going into silent heats for quite some time now. Matuse keeps trying to mount Bently so I will be glad when the spays are over.
In the morning the food is gone from the platform, but the feral cat is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps because the horses are being let out of the pasture to trim down the backyard, as the grass is growing and the mud makes it impossible to mow the lawn.
I am not kidding […]
