I lured him out with treats and tried to show him the litter box and food/water, but he's still basically avoiding me so I'm not sure he got it. He'll figure it out, right?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mine did immediately as half-grown kittens, so I think all that will come very naturally to most cats.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
When mine first came home they did all their exploring as soon as I turned the lights off at night. He'll find everything.

Oh yeah, I am actually sure he will be fine. Obviously trying to give a cat a tour of the amenities is ridiculous!

Timelies all!
In NY now, dealing with Mr. S who will not settle down and go to bed.

Punishingly Intricate
Buddy!!! I call all dogs and children whose names I don't knew that (&some whose names I do).
My friend came to visit me from NY for the first time in like 10 years or more this weekend and we had a great time last night then she woke up this morning with terrible vertigo. I feel so bad for her! We ended up having a chill day and lots of good conversation and she is feeling better now but ugh. Vertigo is the worst!

I need a space to kvetch and I can't do it anywhere else.
My dad has been slowly fading. He was in a nursing home at the beginning of the year, but he ran through his 100 days so now he is back at home. My mom refuses to figure out home care so she is his sole caregiver.
I've been trying to get home more to see him as he is going to die soon (but he's been dying for a while so maybe I'm wrong?). Anyhow, we just bought tickets to go at Thanksgiving.
In response, my mom is putting him in respite at the nursing home for a week. And I get it. He's a lot of work. But I'm not dragging my family to Ohio to just hang out and have fun. She needs the respite and she doesn't think having all of us in the house is going to be good for her. But really?!?!?

Cat! Buddy! Whose s kitty cat? You are. Yes you are. Hiding under the bed or wherever, that's a good boy.

You gotta do it though. I mean, I always do with a new cat or a new place. I don't think they pay much attention to me, but you gotta try.
I totally spaced that I have the Heart Walk tomorrow morning. I really should have mowed the lawn today but oh well. I still need to do enough laundry to be able to get dressed in the morning and pack up all my Jalloween bellydance doodads because I'm going straight from the Walk to rehearsal. But it's basically bed time and I am tired. I don't know who let me be in charge of managing my schedule, I am clearly not up to it.
