I have a single cat in an apartment, and I think she is fine. I wouldn't lock myself in to a no pet apartment ever again, because I hate moving, and I really was pining for a cat for several years.

It was this place, Tep: [link]

I've heard good things about Mariposa on some of the GF blogs I read. Yum!

My shawarma was excellent. It came with stuffed grape leaves and really good hummus. Nom.

Liese, I'm usually around so I'll say yes, although finding a way to see Jessica and DH is proving challenging this weekend. phooey!

I was planning to have tacos for dinner tonight, but the shredded cabbage that I was going to use was part of that listeria recall, so I microwaved some frozen pad thai instead.

I really need to clean my apartment, but I'm hurting and cleaning will probably make me hurt more. Although, having to step over all the junk on the floor isn't really helping on the pain front, either. At least I've got a few days work on it. I don't have anything I have to do on campus on Fridays this semester, and having that extra day when I don't have to walk across campus is really helpful.

I had pot roast, steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy, and red wine for dinner. Now I'm a lump on the sofa, listening to Maddow and sleet falling in the background.

Shrift, if it's the potluck I'm also invited to, the host has gastric problems with beets. Just FYI. Also onions.

I need to track down my sister's recipe for orange cake, which uses an entire orange and is totally awesome.

Liese, that is SO COOL. Rock on!

I spent the day doing ... stuff. Mostly Dad-related, including tracking down his wallet and taking him to the dentist and arranging for him to get 4 hours/day of personal care. Turns out he hasn't been showering because he's afraid of falling, which I should have guessed (given that he fell in the shower a year or so ago). But I still have not defeated the dragon that is Verizon, the fuckers. Tomorrow, maybe.

Now I need to feed the dog, make some dinner, do some laundry, and then I can sit down and watch Agent Carter and The 100.

I don't know what a small apartment means where you are, Connie, but I had two kittens in an apartment in NC and it was pretty fine. I'm a proponent of the idea that two kittens are as easy as one so, if you want kittens, get two! Because they'll entertain each other and be super amusing.

But, if you're interested in getting an older cat who already has a preference for being an only, that should work out fine, too!

So, cats in apartments, do they mind that much?

Nope, we have two big fat boycats in a less than 900 sf apartment, and they do great. Cats have access to a lot of levels that humans don't really think about.

I knew about onions, but not beets. Thanks for telling me. Of course, now I have no idea what to bring. I guess I should consult some cookbooks.

Our house's footprint is less than 1,000 sf and our 2 cats are indoor-only cats and are happy as can be.
