mmmm warm fuzzies

Drat! The fact that my wife did not know about those shows I am a poor husband. Time to go back to the toy store.

She is sick in bed this morning :(

feas = fleas? Don’t think so, he seems to be really well cared for, except for that whole throwing him out on the weekend thingy.... Sorry, I forgot to ping you, forgot you had cats too.

Anything that helps them get used to one another’s scent is probably a help, but it won’t prevent them from doing a lot of posturing and yelling when they do finally meet, in my experience.

Also in my experience, some cats will come to be good friends even if they meet as adults...and others will just come to an uneasy truce. But I’ve not really had cats that didn’t work out *some* sort of pecking order that worked for them with a minimum of squabbling after the initial unpleasantness. So there’s that.

Maybe so. Still I would keep my eye on that. If he has been ratting then he could get parasites off his prey.

When my wife’s younger sister and (1st) husband moved in with us for a while, they brought their two cats who never really cared for us or our cat-at-the-time (pre-Abby).

Benny, however, took it all in stride. He’d hide on a chair or ottoman and swat them when they walked by.

And since sister-in-law kept a different litter box for her cats in their room, Benny would go in their room in the middle of the night just to poop.

I miss that cat.

Ahem--If he has been ratting It's "mousing" not "ratting"

But, I'd not thought of that. Need to get more heartworm for Gypsy anyway, so I'll pick up flea stuff for Annie.

They are the nifty new ~airweight~ model.

[sniff}, everybody missed my bad pun.

I have have an old-time DDR/Stasi spring sap. Three nested sets of coil springs, with a big steel knob on the end. Heavy, but it also works in cramped quarters, like inside cars. I keep it in the door pocket of my truck.

Typical German over-engineering, but not pocket-friendly. I'll have to look at an ASP as a supplement.

I got it when I saw it this morning. But I was late for an appointment and didn't have time to make a smart-ASP comment...

Stupid sinus colds. All my coughing makes it really hard to get some decent sleep.

...Maybe a softer office chair would help.

Fortunately I am not coughing too much so I got some sleeping.

Running some battlegrounds now.... ugh, I’ve got a fever and feel awful still.
