I have kitties, very large 8 mo kitties! Two tigers. So far they have stayed hiding. I set them up in my utility room, which is air conditioned, kinda big closet sized. I left out food and water, as well as 4 empty cardboard boxes. Left them alone all night per their mom's advice. They knocked all the stuff off the top of the dryer, which has a bit of a slant and the top had been covered with a pillow case. That must have been exciting. Probably the pillow case slipped when they jumped up there. They didn't touch the food I left out, although one of them used the litter box.
So they are both snuggled together behind my air handler with no interest in coming out yet. Closed the door back up. Their mom is going to stop by today and play with them a bit to help the transition. They will come out for her.
eta: not feeling the names yet so putting up a poll on FB!
Now with pictures on the Buffista FB page!
Unrelatedly - WHY did I schedule this conference call for 8am? What the hell, self?
Laura, I'm so sorry about your nephew. ~ma to everyone involved.
And yay, kitties!
ltc has decided that all men that aren't her daddy or grandfathers are scary and to be avoided at all cost. Not sure what to do about it.
For cat people, this brief video made me smile. It does play music rather loudly, so be warned.
Ugh. I have a migraine, so I've called in sick to work, and I suspect I'll need to go to urgent care for an IV cocktail, except I don't know if our HSA card is working yet, and I can just go and submit for reimbursement, but that's a pain in the ass that the fucking HSA card is supposed to simplify.
And husband is incredibly stressed with his new job, because the two people he manages are insane in different ways, and he's seriously about one really bad day away from quitting, which I totally support because it's that bad, but then that leaves me, again, as the one responsible for the money, and more importantly, the fucking health insurance.
And his stress is contagious, because stress is, and it's approaching the point of not even being fucking safe to fly anymore because of the fucking shutdown, and he has a business trip next week, and my mother is flying to be with my brother and his partner because his partner has finished chemo and is having the mastectomy, except if she can't fly for whatever reason, I need to drive there and be there for them, and I'm totally fine with that, but I'd rather have things planned out than having to adjust on the fly.
Wow, my head hurts.
No wonder you have a migraine, Dana. I hope urgent care will help.

Sara went through this at two different stages (10 months or so, and then at three and a half). There's not a lot you can do about it, except be calm and reassuring, and don't force any interaction. It'll pass eventually.
