Saturday – 30/4/2016 – World Veterinary Day

Good Caturday to all. Hazeling for me too–I don’t have a roomba, but bought a dyson cordless vacuum that just is awesome in keeping cat hair and litter under control. Lightweight, and easy to get out and run over floors and furniture in between weekly vacuuming. Best get to it. It’s cool here and cloudy with rain expected this afternoon and tomorrow too. Oh well, I didn’t want to work in the flower beds anyway! 😛

Hi everyone – oooh, I’d better not let my trio see today’s topic. Took them to the rabies clinic in town this morning. In NJ, cats must be vaccinated against rabies in order to license them, which my three are. I am anti-rabies vaccination for indoor only kitties, but until the law changes this is the way it is. As for the outdoor crew, if I had taken them, the town would have made me license them, which I’m not really interested in paying for. It really is ridiculous that the town doesn’t help a colony – they need vaccinations the most! *steps off soapbox*
It must have been quite a sight to see me with the cloth carrier over my shoulder (in which was Comet, the heaviest cat, because he is the least likely to pee/poop/puke) and a carrier in each hand. They whined all the way there, but were very quite on the way home. I was pleasantly surprised by Leela, who only left a few ‘nuggets’ in the carrier – I was sure she would be a poopy mess. I have a cover for her carrier and she seems a bit less stressed when she can’t see what’s going on.
Anyway, it’s cloudy and chilly, and we’ll get KZ’s rain early tomorrow. The newly seeded lawn appreciates the rain here too!

Oh and a kit adventure/situation in condo bldg. Fri getting ready for hol when n’bor knocked on door holding lovely girl kit! I’d seen her on street (I think) and she was hiding on his car in garage.No collar but she was soooo friendly and looked to be well fed. Outside/inside discussion not purrmitted, but … He was afraid that it was Dorry. What to do? I gave kit some kibble and she meowed happily and nommed it all up. We got another kit owner in bldg involved, had never met him but he has a lovely long-haired tabster, Mia. I called vet and we had to conclude that cat is from n’hood. No one wanted to take her to a shelter, just ’cause. On advice (this has happened once before) n’bor let her back out and said she seemed to be on her way to we hope her home. Have her in your thoughts, fellow TDKers please. And should I see her on street again with a purrson who looks to be “owner” words will be said, and I will not hold myself back.
Got 2 go. Hol over and back to wk and much stress to face as per, what can I say. A nice hot latte and soon, can’t hurt!

Good morning all. It’s a lovely warm sunny Sunday here.
Love the wee kitty snuggled up with it’s teddy.
AV, hope the day has gone smoothly and you have managed to get everything done that you needed to.
Hi KZ and PG.
JJ that just sucks monkey-toes that you would have to license the outdoor kits if you had taken them for vaccination. You were trying to do the right thing by the kits. Good Leela, maybe having Mac there kept her calmer this year. Well done to all three for being calm on the way home.
ECB, lazy time with a lap kitty is good for the soul.
KJ, great finds. What a brilliant find the closet is, it looks so nice. I hope the visiting kitty found her way back home.

Morning, shhhhh don’t tell anyone it is ‘not busy in here for a moment’ not going to even hint at the Q word…..

Joan, oh I see you had a joyful time taking all of the indoor kits to the vet clinic.

Waves at everyone, haven’t been around much…well between working 6 days a week, having constant migraines and just generally feeling like all cruddo I haven’t done much of anything along the productive lines. Kitty may have to have one of his eyes done again, sigh, it’s not looking good.
