I'm doing 19 things
The cats are home from the vet.
Spaz has lost lots of weight in the last year, probably something like 4-5 lbs. She’s lots more active these days and doesn’t seem to be in the habit of running to the food bowl every time someone hurts her feelings anymore.
Eris didn’t puncture any of the vet techs, I’m really surprised. The techs at the S. Lamar place where the ex and I used to take the pets used to call her “Hell Kitty” and did NOT seem to like dealing with her at all (back when we did things like that, before he dumped all the household responsibilities and expenses on me and I just quit because I was overwhelmed & going further and further into debt trying to pull ‘my half’...)
I am glad to be getting back on top of my responsibilities and taking good care of my critters again. They did not deserve to suffer or be unhealthy simply because whatsisname was an ass and I was too sick and tired of his poor-mouthing bullshit to ask for help anymore. He made twice what I did and all he did for ‘us’ was pay the mortgage…but ANYWAY, that’s done and over. Fuck him and his Scottish wallet.
So, the cats are caught up on vaccines, have Advantage for the summer, and Eris has a prescription for Clavamox (antibiotics) because of all the scrapes and scratches she has from going outside and scrappin’ with the neighbor cats.
We stopped and said hello to the prettiest little parakeet on the way out the door. I put the cats’ carriers up to the bars and the ‘keet came over and said ‘hi,’ climbed on the bars, stuck its little beak thru and tried to either bite or kiss the kitties.
It was really a friendly, sweet little bird. Not in the least bit afraid of cats, which is worrisome! I don’t think we need a bird in this house full of mine & the housemate’s cats and other housemate’s dog. But it was an adorable little thing.
Got the cats home, gave them treats, gave Eris her first dose of Clavamox without ending up wearing any of it (go me!) And they don’t seem too unhappy with me, so that’s a plus.
It’s been a good, productive day.
