Meadow would like you to know that she spent from 8am until 6:30 pm just having the most refreshing nap, choosing a west window this time because the south window has gotten too warm.
And she doesn’t understand why I’m so tired and so much in need of a shower.
[ID: A photo of a long-haired dark tabby cat lying stretched to her fullest length on a gray blanket. Second photo has her facing the camera, just about to yawn hugely.]
Eldest cat has come home from her life-saving-but-very-traumatic vet visit. She had a medium sized meal of wet food (I’m going to feed her small amounts every few hours so she doesn’t overload and get sick). She is cuddled in my lap being relieved and slightly stinky. Cat abscesses have a nasty smell - I mean every abscess stinks, but an oral one combines the worst excesses of stinky kitty breath and putrescence. However, she will still get all the cuddles, and possibly a gently salt rinse for her mouth later.
Yesterday, between the vet visit, two fruitless trip to the credit union, and small errands to the pharmacy and discount grocer, I did not get much Me time. However, I DID tack up Hero in the late afternoon and we took a small ride through the forest. Accompanied, of course, by two delighted dogs and a panting, fussing goat. A ride through a May forest, glowing greener than an emerald, is a delight to the soul.
Soon I need to set aside the cat and get my butt out to the garden. The Kaleidoscope carrot seed tape I planted did indeed germinate earlier this week. Even with the seeds stuck to a paper backing there is some thinning needed, but it’s much better than the solid mass of tiny seedlings we get when we just sow the seeds. I am HOPING for a nice crop of every carroty color. The weeds grow three times as fast as the veg, though, so I’d better do something about that.
…. It was ringworm. Upside is that I’ll get to love her for a month or two.
She’s big! And I’m not entirely sure if this is an odd presentation of fever fur or if something else is going on. She’s got the loooooongest tail now!
Is it just me, or is she meowing with a southern accent? I swear she sounds very Georgia/Alabama-ish! What a darling.
15 hours suffering from a migraine and I am finally able to execute basic functions again. Thank you, my little fish-mouthed demon for snuggling by my side through most of it.
Kiwi when I showed him this post. Give the sad boi more notes.
