Um...well...this is a bit personal (a lot)


I was able to give my human mom yet another undisturbed night of sleep. I am so much more comfortable. I get her up at close to 7 whether she likes it or not but I am not crying any more. I still am OCD about the water bowl..I probably will be a long time. BUT here is the personal part.

When mom went to clean my litter box early this morning..it was normal in there..not like, filled to the brim with clumps from all the water I had been drinking. If I could give a thumbs up to the expertise of my doctor, I would! he guessed it right on the money. The allergy shot took care of all of my woes (till I will need another one in a couple months). But, OCD- R- Us apparently.

Mom is leaving for Charlotte NC next Friday for the weekend. She is confident leaving me in the care of the pet sitter $$$$$ though..I feel for mom. I am allowed 2 days off from my thyroid meds..Wednesday and Saturday so mom can made a very short trip. I am afraid I don't allow anyone else to see me while she's gone, and certainly that includes medicating me. Can't do it if I am hidden. So unless mom boards me, she can only be gone the weekend. She'll not board me unless it is an emergency for real because I would not do well. When she's gone for the weekend, I just rearrange my food till she comes back. The reason for this is, she had a horrendous work schedule and it was just me and her. The family once in a while. So, like other pets who are not accustomed to other people always there..I grew to just trust mom and her boys. Mom was up at 0315 on days shifts, and in bed at 2030. No time for visitors etc. Midnight shifts..in bed at 0830..up at 1515. So..just me and her..I never got socialized to her friends. That's a shame as it limits me when she is gone and I won't play with the sitters.

Oh well. If she ever gets more cats, there will be 2. They can play with one another too, she said.

I am so glad you are feeling so much better Admiral.
Tell Mom I am sitting here on pins and needles watching my Cardinals play the Dodgers. Can you hear me yelling clear down there in the south?
I hope you and mom get a good night's rest.
Hugs,
Beth

When I lived on the farm Domino was the only cat allowed in the house. She was fiercly independent yet quite fond of me and showed a haughty disdain for other cats and people. Of course she would put up with guests with a " give me a break" attitude, look at me, then head for the door to be let out. Be it day or night when the visitors departed all I had to do was call, "Domino", and soon there would be a scratch and meow at the door. If she was not busy elsewhere that is. Smile!
As ever be well

My mommy wont leave me alone over night,I'm glad...I would be so upset and depressed. I like to go with her & ride in the car to new places!
I think she is telling me we are doing that today!
Very happy your skin is feeling better
