The shock of loosing Fina is still too fresh and raw. The other cats seemed a bit withdrawn today but mostly normal.
This past week Paddy and Homer decided to take a sealed Tupperware cereal bowl off the table and open it since it was filled with Whiskas and not Paddy's CD prescription diet. (Paddy tends to make bladder stones so he needs to ONLY eat CD food.) They managed to open the sealed and burped lid from the cereal bowl and munch down ALL the food. Now.....I have a problem with this. I installed childproof locks on the kitchen cabinets to keep them out. It doesn't. It just makes a bunch of noise while they work to get them open. Now I can't store the "good stuff" for moosey and Homer in the sealed cereal bowl because they have learned how to open it. I might add there were zero teeth marks on the lid and bowl. I need to install cameras to find out what magic trick they used. Maybe they opened it like a beer cap on a bottle. hitting the side of the table with the edge of the lid?
Things are never dull in this house. Moosey is starting to loose more strength in his back legs. He is still able to get around, it just takes him longer to get where he's going. That will be what takes him out eventually I fear. It will be a quality of life decision in the end. But for now he's doing well, let's just celebrate that, OK?
I was so happy last week. For the very first time I saw three Cedar Waxwings in our backyard. Those were on the top of my bird watching wishlist....and there they were! They were so beautiful. Unfortunately they were gone by the time I got my camera to the window. I got one shot and it was blurred because they were trying to eat all the little red berries off a tree before the robins and starlings could get them.
The sun we have been having has boosted the cats moods. They lay almost all day in the sun as it streams through the front door. Tuesday the rain returns so they are soaking up as much as possible now. It's almost like they know the rain is coming.
If anyone has any idea how those two cats opened the cereal bowl, please let me know.
