Till the love runs out

I went back to bed around 4, fell asleep, and slept a couple of hours.  I feel pretty rested now getting up.  I took my pills, and did up 2 more weeks. 

Last night I told Ron about Mama cat and Cleo getting snagged on things, with their claws.  He immediately went to "Take them to the vet to get their claws trimmed".  I told him I had got the clippers and he got very upset. 

He was worried I would hurt and upset the cats, reasonable fears.  I told him I wouldn't use them if it upset him that much and he again repeated taking them to the vet. 

And we are already frequent flyers at the vet.  We spent more than 2 weeks of my pay already this month.  But he did have a point. 

Later on that night I got up and I heard Ron talking.  I asked if he was talking to me and he said no, he was talking to the cats.  He continued "Now, if she tries to clip your nails I want you to bite and scratch, OK?  You do that."  I was laughing by now.  "And I will give you extra treats." 

I will "try" with Mama cat when the clippers come in but experimentally she has not been letting me handle her feet.  Worst case I can take her in with Spotty when he gets his shots next month and have them trim her (It's only $15, and I am already paying the cab fare for Spotty). 

I ordered 2 new litter boxes, which will hopefully keep the flinging to a minimum.  I understand they want to cover, and I want them to cover, but litter all over the floor every day.. ugh, I hate stepping on it in bare feet.  The current one I just got has been great and really cut down on the flung litter. 

It helped with another issue I won't detail because yuck. 

I went on the Chewy website - now I can do some damage on Chewy.  One year my stepmother gave me a Target card.  I really could have used a Chewy one!  I saw the Tasty Treasures beef and liver flavor.  I gave a can to the cats yesterday and they loved it.  It is basically mixed grill with extra liver in it, and a piece of beef was in the room when they canned it. 

I thought about getting another case... but would they eat it?  Some times they only eat one can and never touch it again.  Which is why I buy multiples, at least 2 of each flavor I try on the cats.  I called them (it didn't take much) they all ran over and I served it up.  They did some pretty good damage to it, and I had to chase Biscuit off even. 

If I knew a meteor was going to take us out in an hour I would open a can of every variety in the house and let Biscuit binge on cat food.  It's funny, he wasn't that into it when he could eat that stuff.  But I was serving another brand and not Friskies. 

I don't perceive Friskies as having the "best" food but it is very appealing to my cats.  And that gourmet can will just rot on the floor if they don't want it.  I would rather have something with dubious meat byproducts, that they're eating.  I was admiring someone's fur (I forget who) last night, very soft and silky, plush.  Baby Girl is growing her fur back at a good rate (I am still grooming her every day), so it's good for them. 

You can always tell by the fur. 

I am going to go back to shopping.  I have plenty silvervine catnip blend which really affects the boys and Torbie.  I also have a refillable toy I put the 'nip into.  Mainly I just sprinkle it on the floor, that is the nice thing about being the housekeeper. 

I may get more refillable toys. 

I am listening to "Till the love runs out" on a one hour loop. 

That's it for now.
