Thanks, all.
And glad that Pumpkin conspired with your mother to come into your life, so you're not questioning "replacing" him.
That's a very good point. Right now, she and Loki are roaring about, playing wildly.
I've been putting away his dishes. Will need to see if the vet is interested in 3/4 of an open bag of food. Unless, lisah? Do your guy eat DM dry food? I know you use different needles, but I know I can give those to the vet. I'd started just buying 2-3 weeks worth at a time this summer....
Guess I can go down a litterbox now. Sigh.
Dealing with the practicalities between bouts of messiness is how I cope. Hell, I just organized all my cat photos in iPhoto.
note: goddamn, that's a lot of cat pictures!
I really need to wash my face again unless I want it to slough off.
ION, we just got to get assignments for being santa for poor kids in the neighborhood, which is fun, but there was no financial guidance given, which I feel like means that some kids will get shafted and feel bad when they all open them together at school.
Delurking (sort of) to say how sorry I am about Mr. Kitty and Maddie. It's so hard to say good-bye to beloved pets. I've been there a few times myself.
Strength to sarameg and askye. Sounds like both your kitties had darn good lives.
OMG, y'all. Now Pumpkin just gave me a heart attack by first sneaking out into the rain while I was getting the trashcan in, then she roared back inside (after attempting to scale the deck posts AFTER I had to chase her around in the rain, which she thought was great fun!)
Whereupon she leaped into the crawlspace, attacked the pipes in the ceiling there, then leaped up onto the radiator pipes in the (open rafters) basement ceiling and tried to negotiate the basement ceiling by pipe. OY.
GOOD DISTRACTION MISSY!
No way you're a lurker anymore, Jean!
