Weekend Lounge, November 22-23, 2014

Evening all! …. glad to see Mac is settling in so well ….

…. I always had to keep Cuddles and Abby’s litterboxes and food bowls separate … Cuddles ABSOLUTELY would not put up with another cat using her box, or eating from her dishes … she was SO persnicketedy!! sweet Queen!

…. Abby is used to her privacy, I think most of you remember me posting that Mr. AV made her a private place for her box in the bottom half of my linen closet in the bathroom … her covered box is there, and all I have to do to clean it is open the door, scoop – the toilet is right there … super convenient, and no one ever knows it’s there ….

…. had a nice evening and family dinner, and now relaxing …. tomorrow will be a combo of some work, some chores and some prepping for the upcoming holidays … overall easy 🙂

…. hope everyone has a great evening!

Had another call out to sparrow in the roof space, this time it was two sparrows about this size.

By the time we got there the two escapees had disappeared hopefully back to their nest. Looks like we can hope they grow up and fly away without any more rescues.
PS. Ruby the cat was disappointed we didn’t let her look after them but we’re pretty sure she wasn’t going to look after them the right way.

Hey MS ::: hope all the birdies are ok your so kind for helping them! I saved a thrush once from a group of boys Kicking it down the street in a box . It was very you g so u brought it home and feed it worms for a couple of days and when I could see it was using it’s wings I released it and it flew away.

KZ your right it would be pretty nasty if Noodle burnt his only load baring paw.. I think he’s pretty smart so hopfully he knows not to jump up. Hope willow has learned his lesson.

I always had an average litter tray in the mobile. But when Buttons got bigger and with his disability we needed to get a giant tray for him so he could easily turn in the tray. Cats love big trays.

I’m feeling pretty happy now Noodle sent the whole night with me.. And after his breakfast and a pee he came back into bed with me again 🙂 and for the first time MS Moneypenny didn’t hiss at me when I had to pick her up from under her hiding spot. She hasn’t messed herself since the last time either 🙂

Nighty night TDKers. Catch you on the flip side.

I am ordering this for the Crew, Red needs it for his mouth to continue his good health and it can’t hurt the other two 🙂

Tomlyn Scientifics L-Lysine Health Supplement Powder for Cats, 100gm

Sweet dreams MS:) Shadz you better eat your breakfast for your Meowmy when you wait..

Hope those computers don’t take too long the reboot Deb.. And hope your work day fly by ..

Still in bed with Noodle 🙂 waiting on the fire outside to heat up the sitting room and then I’ll venture out 🙂

Interesting information that I did not know about Social Security….

http://tucson.com/business/national-and-international/social-security-and-you-sugar-daddies-and-divorce-decrees/article_0528d094-7359-5de6-b36f-90b9ea3cac11.html

Especially the second half of the article, none of what is given to the divorced spouse affects his own Social Security:

“Now, here is what you can expect from Social Security. If you decide to file for benefits before age 66, you will always be paid your own retirement benefits first. Then they will look to your husband’s record to see if you can get anything off of his account. Your benefit can be supplemented up to a percentage of his: anywhere from about a third to a half of his, depending on your age.
If you wait until age 66 to claim benefits, you would have one other option. At that point, you could claim half of his and then at age 70, switch to 132 percent of your own.
And finally, no matter what you do, when he dies, and assuming that happens after you are 66 years old, you will get a full, i.e., 100 percent, divorced widow’s benefit.”

I haven’t trying the L-lysine yet for the kits, Buttons would know the best I think 🙂

I am getting it because of my oldest one, Red who is 16 yrs +. The old man came to me with a mega infected mouth and all of his teeth except for the little front fangs were pulled and he has to take steroids for one week every month, he is in excellent health and I want to ensure he stays that way. The other two are 7 + 9 yrs old so it can’t hurt them either.

Good Morning all!

…. Judith, I’m so glad you and Dru have developed that special bond … it’s different with each cat (animal), but some are so very special and strong (like me and my Abbers) …. enjoy this special pet!!!

…. I also might try the l-lysine … not that Abby has any health issues, but she does get lots of plaque on her teeth, had to have 7 double teeth removed when she was young (apparently a Siamese trait) …. but preventative is my goal, don’t want her to get any gum infections …..

…. Buttons, it sounds like MS Moneypenny is getting more and more comfortable, and Noodle is calming down about not being the ‘new kid on the block’ anymore …..

…. wacky weather here will be up to 82 today (warm & muggy) …. than back down to 60 on Wednesday …. hope the roller coaster temps won’t produce colds …..

…. so glad I got some holiday shopping done yesterday, today is a mish/mash of chores, work and decorating ….. actually enjoyable/easy!

…. hope everyone’s Sunday is going well!
