Zoey has finally discovered the joys of the cat tree. I have hidden some Blue Buffalo, grain free, dry food in one of the little caves. I'm not too worried about Paddy getting it (since he has to eat prescription food) because it's fish flavored. Paddy hates fish. I know, he's a cat and they should love fish, right? Not in this case. He'll eat spinach but not fish cat food.
I give up. I'm taking Zoey to the vet's office next weekend and having her shaved to the skin. She becomes a real *&%#@ when I try to comb or brush her. I'm afraid the fleas will hide under those mats and produce many offspring. She's also comfortable enough to be swinging super hard at the dogs. I'm certainly glad she doesn't have front claws. I watched her today as Cherry tried to run by her. In Zoey's defense, Cherry is like a tightly wound rubber band most of the time. I think she startles Zoey with her zooming here and there. When Zoey connected with Cherry's head today it almost looked like the "I should of had a V-8" commercial on TV. She hit her right in the middle of the forehead!
We had a bit of excitement today. Ed was bathing Sugar in my bathtub and hit the cold water knob on the tub with his elbow. It broke and water went everywhere. We had to shut off the water supply to the whole house. It was off most of the day until my son came over and put caps on the water lines. Now I have to take showers. Yuck! We have two bathrooms with tubs but the other one sort of got plugged up with cat litter. I was cleaning the box one day and balanced it on the side of the tub. It tipped, and before I could get it upright again a bunch of litter spilled into the tub drain. I tried vacuuming it out and then *shudder* washing it down with water. I guess you know that we have cement in that pipe now.
So....at least, we have water to the rest of the house and a shower is better than nothing. The next problem is .....they don't make that size bathtub faucet anymore. We will have to mickey mouse a larger or smaller one to fit. Oh well.....just another bump in the road.
I'll post more later (like the picture of a shaved Zoey).
