Chickie went through a pretty hairy time this month, but I hope she’s relieved herself of all residual intestinal furriness, and that the new food will work, now that she’s used to it.
I told Sara:
By my calculations, if Chickie throws up three more times, I’ll have cleaned the entire downstairs carpeting.

November 25, 2021 at 12:33amCommiserations! Because Mogi and the cats tend to live in my office, I had to tear up the wall-to-wall carpet and lay down carpet squares instead. They looked ugly but when one square was, um, used, I could simply pick it up and take it outside for thorough cleaning [and airing]. I now only have a few tiles lining the edges of my office. Eucalyptus oil and bi-carb are very effective, but they can’t work miracles. -glares at the dog-

November 24, 2021 at 9:01amWhat? Doesn’t always throw up in one or two favorite places? That’s what I would have expected. This helpfulness is UNexpected.

November 24, 2021 at 9:17amI know, right? It’s like my own private scavenger hunt.

November 24, 2021 at 9:24amGuided, no doubt, by your sense of smell. If only they could eliminate the odor…

November 24, 2021 at 10:28amIt doesn’t smell. Isn’t that weird?

November 24, 2021 at 1:35pmJust shows you I have never shared a house with a cat. I did not know that!

November 25, 2021 at 8:41amIt might depend on what they eat.

November 26, 2021 at 5:23pmPoor beasties – they’re sort of stuck with what they can supplement of what they’re fed.

November 27, 2021 at 9:14amMy beasties won’t eat anything except their cat food. They still like tuna juice and salmon juice, but that’s it. No nasty hooman food for them! And, being indoor cats, these two don’t have the chance to add a bit of mouse for variety, assuming they would stoop so low as to eat prey.
