Thoughts on loss

This has been a very bad month. It seems everyone is losing a cat. Yesterday I found out that Loader the beautiful Maine coon looking cat that had been abandoned where I work has died.

This gorgeous cat that had at one time been a loved pet, a family member that was abandoned before Christmas last year with his buddy Tux died alone under a store. I had wanted them out of the parking lot but not this way.

Tux came a bit into the store tonight, he sat on the welcome mat and cried a bit as he watched the rain. He only stayed in a few minutes until a car drove up.

I am really tired of writing sad posts, I am really tired of crying because I cannot do anything to save some of these cats that show up in my life.
I know that one day we i can I will get those I can out of this area and hopefully to a better life. I pray it is soon.

Having a bad day

Today started off so good to. I woke up snuggled in kitties, Moira by my cheek, Lu on her perch, Robber behind me and Dash on my toes. The rest of the day really went to hell.

Blackberry had a follow up appointment she is doing good and I was given the go ahead to place her back out in the enclosure. Within seconds Delilah started to attack her so she is now back in the hospital cage until I can find another way to house her and find a new home for Delilah.

Then we went to IKEA and for the first time ever I found nothing that I wanted, the lunch was blah, the new displays boring, the pet section gone. They even changed the tiny food market to unappealing and not shop friendly.

Leaving there we went to the Nordstroms Rack which was across the street to see if I could find any new shoes for work. Well maybe if I worked in an office or was a 'Party Girl for Hire' I would have found something to work in but nothing that would work with my job. I did buy some hair clips an acrylic ring and a pair of heaty therapy booties-do not attempt to walk in these as the microwave bags in the bottom will pull them right off of your feet but the do warm your feet if you are going to be stationary.

Then as we are driving home I saw in the divide of the road a seagull sitting looking around not moving. We turned around and I picked it up and as we were right across the street from the wildlife refuge I tried there first to find out what to do with it.. I was sent to the rehabilitaion center where no one was and finally I called my vet to see if I could take it there. The poor thing died in my arms as I was getting out of the car at the vets office.
At least it did not die in traffic.

It Is Set

Today M'Agnes was scheduled for her Big Girl Surgery.
October 14Th is the big day, so now I worry and hope that it will all be good.
She got a bath today and was very good with it only after I crawled in with her. If I was holding her in the shower it was OK just forget having to walk in that nasty water. M'Agnes is now sleeping on one of the perches Isadora has claimed the fancy pedestal and my Robber is finishing my dinner which was butternut squash ravioli in olive oil and butter topped with chicken.

CarmenKatra is looking more and more like her brother so I am constantly reminded of him. She really does have a similar build not nearly as delicate as Isadora. I still feel like I need to write a better tribute but the words still do not form.

cleaning attempt

OK i finally have a day off and i want to get some cleaning done. hopefully it works out better this time than last time. I also really want to finish the bed i am knitting. Making my own bed would be a plus.

Survey room: The cats have again knocked every thing on the shelves down; solution throw it all away. never have to pick it up again.
lets see if that gets done.

Knitting: Kinji is of course sleeping in the middle of it so no can not touch!

Bed: knitting project is on the bed Kinji is on project so no cannot touch.
Next step try to find a place to store empty reptile tanks other than in room so i have space to set up new computer system.
Also need to re-organise books and under bed storage.
And while doing this i need to keep vigil over a kitten that has hit Madolescence.

hopefuly this reset of my password holds this is getting frustrating. coming up with a new one almost daily.
M'Agnes is going good, she is back to herself from scaring me by not handling heat at all but then she is only 3.9LBS
Carmen and Isadora are crazy and driving me that way
Oliver makes me sad, I wish he got on with the other cats but he is so frightened of them.

today has been expensive

I woke up today cuddled in kitties, and finally went out to take care of feeding the ferals and the rabbits. My mom asked me to finish hanging up the laundry as she was in a hurry to get to an appointment. As i reached inside the washing machine i saw my phone. I love my phone, i love the way it feels in my hand and the camera on it is fantastic. I picked it up and all the pieces and sighed as i hung it up to dry shaking water from it. I used the canned air to try to force some of the water out and had little success.
So we went to the store to look at new phones since even if it does still work after drying it will not work as good and the camera will most likely be beyond help. I got the prices at the verizon store for the DROID2 and compared them with costco. funny verizon was actually cheaper. I also got a new computer at Frys Electronics, a Gateway which came with a Canon printer. Lots of mail in rebates more than i could afford i am still cringing. the worst thing was that as the salesman was trying to help me set up my accounts on the DROID i could not get my gmail password to work so i have to go home and see if i can get it off of my PC which has it stored. 3 hours later and still no luck, I left a msg on the forum for possible help but i am not holding my breath. It may be that i will only be able to blog from this pc that likes to crash. Which is probably my fault for spilling tea on the keyboard a few months ago. Time to go re-figure finances

Trip to Sac

We went to Sacramento today. It was very hot too. M'Agnes was not happy about the temp which i believe was possibly over 100.
M'Agnes got to meet Nami and her son at the Tea Cosy

After playing with Scott we took a nap at Rumpelstilskins It was so nice to take a nap in the cool stores while GMom was next door getting lunch at the pub.

I bought some roving to make another felted bed, I have been curious about knitting up straight roving so now i can find out i bought 10 ounces of natural 2 ounces of periwinkle and 2 of a leaf green if nothing else it will be turned into a felted bed.
