It's morning somewhere

Tuesday, I bought the box that Grey Feather is enjoying. Sgt Mango, Parker Dmitri, and Rocky Girl were put into the box on Wednesday. Lady Fortuna and Grey Feather were placed in separate boxes. They were all placed into the car, and a visit to their PCP was made. Every one of them received some type of shots. Parker Dmitri gets to go again in a month. On the way there, Sgt Mango attempted to discuss his displeasure. Soon, all the kitties were adding their complaints. I wished I had a tape recorder. Placing one note after another, I could have had a great song, somewhat like the "Jingle Bells" tunes made from dog barks and cat meows. Once to the office, I found that Sgt Mango also had a heavy urination episode. Unfortunately, I had not placed papers in the box, so Rocky Girl and Parker Dmitri had urine soaked feet, too. Once home, the kitties scattered, and tried to make themselves scarce. Parker Dmitri is still very skittish when she sees me.This is one of the kitties I checked on over July 4th weekend. What a sweet little kitty. It purrs and acts like it's my best friend. I guess it's a good thing it didn't come here to live. The Princess Grey Feather would have been royally pissed.Parker Dmitri is making friends. However, she picked the most rotten of the bunch to hang out with. Rocky Girl is an oily schmoozer and a horrible flirt. Perhaps Parker Dmitri will pick up some of Rocky Girl's friendly mannerisms. The other day, they were walking side-by-side toward me, and they were pressed so close, it looked like they were holding each other up.

I was looking through kitty pictures and came across this one. Saddie, Mogwei, and Cotton all together. All three have now departed from the living. They were all sweet wonderful kitties, in their own funny feline ways.

Saddie was such a momma's boy. He would be at the door when I unlocked it. He immediately came when I called him, and he kept my lap warm. He was such a treasure. He liked to sleep under the covers, and many times, he'd be in bed before I got there. He made coming home something to look forward to at the end of the day. What a wonderful furry friend!

Mogwei was darling lap cat, but best, he was a great stalker. When I had gerbils, one of them got out and hid under the cabinet. Mogwei stayed on watch for hours. He finally got his mouse. He scared the neighbor dog back to her mother, every time they came over. What a sweet funny furry friend!

Cotton was a great sweetheart. He loved to rub against my work clothes, and my carry items, to make sure I had the required white kitty hairs before I left. He liked to stand on his hind feet, extending to his full height, as he tried to look at things above his normal view. What a darling furry friend!

This is one of the cats that lived at the place Parker Dmitri originally lived, before she moved in with us. I think his name is Salem.

Last year, I bought a portable air conditioner. I put it in storage. I wrote out a list of things to do, on Friday. Get the AC was one of the things to do. Weekend's over. Did I get the AC? Nope. The fan is working overtime, and would appreciate it if I did.

What did I do? Well, I cleaned out both cars, which was one horrendous chore. It's done, now, until next time.

I also finished a story. I've written several different story lines, but hadn't finished any. The actual note on the list was finish story, so it didn't matter which one. Another Camping Story has been posted at The Practical Press.

What do you do when there's a mew kitten in the house? Grey Feather knows. You hide!

I wish I'd taken her advice. This morning, the kitten jumped up in the bed and scratched and bit my ankles. I pushed them under the covers and she followed. Ouch!

You didn't know Sgt. Mango was a chameleon, did you? As you can see from the photo, he is trying to camouflage himself, by blending in with the carpet. He hasn't perfected turning the white spots, though.

No pain, no gain!
Parker Dmitri is growing like a weed. How does she do it? When she has time, she works out with weights. She's already up to the ten pound weights!

Click on the photo to get a good glimpse of Parker Dmitri trying to pull the rope away. It was funny that Rocky Girl decided to add her paw to the string, too.

Yesterday, I went to my sister's house to go horse riding. Finally, I have pictures (other than cats) to post on the blog:) There are more pictures at The other blog.

The kitten, Parker Dmitri, thought Sgt Mango's food sounded really delicious. She wanted to try a bite, but he had other ideas.

Parker Dmitri is such a sweet kitten. She is a horrible biter, though. The other cats are no longer hissing, but she has gotten slapped a time or two. She runs through the place, as though the hounds of hell are an inch from her tail. She has gotten kicked, accidentally, of course, because of her incredible speed, and not exactly watching where she's going. I'm going to have to remember not to roll the computer chair around, because she likes to lay under it, when she has to take a breather.

It's been a very hectic week. I zoomed home, yesterday, in the car I bought in December. I made a quick turn, turning the steering wheel all the way to the right. As my car was turning, I heard ths nasty sounding clunk! Then, as I straightened it out, I heard, "jingle, jingle". Today, I drove the first car to get the window fixed. Once it was finished, I hurried home and, very slowly, hoping I wouldn't have to call a tow truck, drove the other one to the shop. As I waited for a shuttle to come, I received a phone call from the shop. Apparently, the hub had locked up, causing the axle to break. The guy told me I was very lucky to make it there. For Sure!

After hitting the snooze button countless times, I got up to go to work. I took my shower, gave Sgt Mango his shot, treated cats, gave Sgt Mango some of his expensive food, made instant coffee, got all my things together, and was running about 30 minutes early as I walked out the door. Good thing, too. As I neared my car, I wondered, "what is that on the ground?"

When I got to it, I found out. It was glass. Some piece-of-shit cockroach smashed my poor car's window. The door was still locked, but the box between the seats was thrown open and stuff from it was tossed around...as well as glass all over the place. I had $10 worth of winning scratcher tickets in the box. Those are gone. So are all the already scratched loser tickets, from goodness knows how long ago - that were tucked in between the passenger seat and the box. I hope whoever did it chokes on whatever they use that $10. for. I sure wish I knew who did it. Anyway, I know not to leave scratchers (winners or losers) in sight, now.

So, I went back inside and grabbed the phonebook to find the city police phone number (I wasn't about to call 911, unless I couldn't find their regular number). I found it and told dispatch what happened. I told her I had to go to work, and left a number for someone to call me back (to take a report and give me a report number for the insurance). I went back inside and got the broom. I swept up as much glass as possible, grabbed the keys to the other car, and drove to work.

The sky looked like it might rain. At lunch I hurried home and duct-taped plastic bags on the window. I noticed the brick, used to break the window, was still on the passenger seat. It did not look familiar. I now wonder if it was actually thugs who broke the window, or if it was the crazy xwife of the four + years ago xboyfriend. It was years and years ago that they divorced, but I've heard she's very vindictive. Not that I've done anything to her! Sure, the xboyfriend and I are still friends, but haven't been romantically inclined for over 4 years. He's had some troubles with her, and he called me, some time back, telling me that if anyone comes to the door that I don't know, don't answer it. I was wondering if she might have followed me home from someplace, and came back around early morning. If it was someone walking, would they be carrying the brick, on the off chance they might see something they wanted to steal in a car?

So, once I got off work, I visited the kittens, then came home. I saw there were still glass fragments around. I pulled out the broom and swept some more. I still haven't cleaned any of the glass out of the car. I guess that will keep for tomorrow, or later this week. I'll have to call the glass shop, too. Damn!

A friend of mine has five cats. Two of the cats had kittens. The first one had one kitten, then the second had four. Since that made ten cats, in all, I told her I would take one. She gave away the first kitten, already, because it was older than the second batch. That still leaves her with nine cats. When she told me what colors they were, I told her I would take the white-with-black-ears-kitten. The first pictures she showed me were of a very ugly little kitten, of course, the kitten was only about four weeks old, at the time.

Last weekend, I took my camera with me when I visited the kitten. In the picture above, the kitten is walking with mom. I thought that was a cute picture.I think she's looking pretty cute, now. She's about six weeks old. My friend told me I wouldn't be able to take her home until she's about ten weeks old. Boy, will my other cats be pissed! Especially the Princess! In fact, while we were viewing what pictures to post for FCB, Grey Feather was sitting on my lap. All of a sudden, she turned and gave me a really odd look, then she jumped down. It's as though she was really looking at the pictures. I wonder...

The fern is hoping to find a new home. It's getting tired of living with me during the winter, because it doesn't get watered as often as it should. Not only that, the poor little thing doesn't get mites or aphids, like normal plants. Instead, it gets cats!
