Back from the dentist. Now I have some pressing work that rolled in while I was in the dentist's chair. But I will by god get a nap before my improv class.

I usually use Tidy Cat crystal cat litter. But when I ahd the freak out about Penny's health I set up a second litter box with other litter that she likes better. I don't like it as much but I'm trying to keep the kitty-human peace.

Teppy, definitely take that nap. You've earned it and your body needs to heal.

My sun basket order is in. Bad planning on my part to order on a week when none of ltc's grandparents are here. Means I have to lift it into the house myself.

My cat Leo definitely has a favorite litter and it's Arm&Hammer unscented. I've been trying to find a low-dust litter, but even the ones that claim to be low dust throw dust in the air. I'd rather they didn't breathe it into their little lungs.

Costco used to have great stuff, but they changed brands and it got a lot dustier. Oz occasionally wheezes, which I worry is from litter dust. He actually came to me with a sawdust based litter, and my plan was to transition my other cat to that. But Oz started using the clay litter and neither of them would have anything to do with the sawdust litter.

I have nothing to add to the kitty litter conversation.

You're not planning to litter box train ltc?

Nope, and I'm still allergic to cats. So, she's not getting any pets either.

My dad has one of those plush cats wtih batteries so it makes purring noises. he's not allergic to cats either he got it as a joke or someone got it for him. He likes cats but he says he is always too busy for them so he has a maintenance free cat now.

I am getting cavities dealt with tomorrow. I talked to my therapist about my plan for dealing the anxiety .. turns out he's not really anti anxiety medicine because he was like "take some klonipin". I think he wanted me to more learn to deal with most of the anxiety with out it. And I've done an okay job, except today. I have had some issues and it's now bleed over to me thinking no one will ever hire me again (I realize this is irrational but the work anxiety imp is trying to hijak my brain). I'm going to take some tonight to help relax and then tomorrow.

As someone who is adopted I actually appreciate it when this is listed as an option. I have to deal with far too many forms that ask all sorts of family medical history questions with no option to explain that I have no way of knowing, so I just end up drawing a big X through all of it and writing adopted across the whole thing.

Oh, it absolutely makes sense to have that question somewhere on the form. It just didn't seem to make much sense to have it in the middle of a list of diseases.

I use the World's Best cat litter. I think it's made from rejected corn bits or something. Anyway, there's not a lot of dust, it's fairly light, and it's biodegradable. So when I was planting bulbs I put them in some lightly used cat litter and covered them with soil and mulch. Humans couldn't smell it under the soil, but squirrels stayed the heck away.
