Momma is eating and responsive to come out at meal times. She is spending most of her time curled up in her nook. I know that cats sleep a lot but I can tell that she doesn’t feel good. She puts on a good show. Last night she climbed up on my recliner and let me support her with my arm as she stretched out on the arm of the chair. She actually fell asleep for a while. It was magical and adorable. I love her so much and wish that I could rescue her from this and make it go away instantly but I have no magic trick to preform. Not to be a pessimist but I see that our time together is limited unless something changes. I don’t want to keep her around just for my enjoyment when she feels like crap but at the same time I don’t want to jump and make a decision that isn’t reversible.
I picked up some different flavors of food for her, thus far the kids seem to enjoy it more than she does. She is still letting them eat first and then she will take left overs, even when I make a plate just for her she is still being a good mother. It’s not a surprise to me and while I think it’s admirable, I tell her to push her way in there and get something to eat. Those kids will gobble it all up and come back for more.
This week will be interesting to see how she does. We haven’t missed a dose of medicine yet. I cleaned the patio up a bit so that she can look out and see the back yard, she spends a lot of time at the back window and wants to know what is going on in her yard. Most of the time there is nothing out there but she has to patrol to make sure.
The others are doing well and just as needy as ever. It’s physically and emotionally exhausting when there is a sick cat because everything seems to revolve around that one cat. I’d just as soon as go back to “normal”.
In other news, I had a decent morning. Ate the new Mushroom & Swiss burger at Steak N Shake and had a Recess Outrageous mini shake. That was breakfast mixed in with fries and a bowl of chili. Don’t forget the diet coke. Made it through the grocery store. I was being good and still wound up spending $75 which surprised me. Got the car washed, they used to have an early bird special but that didn’t pop up this morning. Then got my haircut really short and filled up the gas tank. Home for the day!
Watched more ER and had a nap as Gator kept waking me up by stomping on my nuts. That will get my attention every time and she knows it. I want to say she is 15 to 20 pounds and that’s a fair amount of weight to come slamming down on one or both of the boys. I passed out lunch which pleased everyone. Got my old iPad charged up and now I am working on charging up my laptop. The house has been cleaned up. It’s a decent temperature in here and comfortable. Laundry is just about done. Then it will be time to shave and get a shower, then dinner and relaxation until it’s time for bed.
Got my property tax bill yesterday and it went up $65 and my homeowners went up so that means that towards the end of the year when my escrow account adjusts my house payment will go up. I wish that my payment could stay the same or decrease for just once but unless I refinance that probably isn’t going to happen. Another gotcha expense came in and that’s license plate renewal. It’s a little over a hundred dollars for a sticker which is good for 1 year. I am not a fan of the gotcha expense but from what I see in the budget it shouldn’t be a problem.
I should go upstairs and check in to see how things are going. The old lady is probably passed out cold. At least she let me clean up her nook so she can be more comfortable.
Here’s hoping that this week will be a much better week than last week for all of us! Take care and thanks for stopping by.
