Friday Cat Blogging - catfood

It started out as a regular X-mas day. We didn't have money for presents because we decided to fix the car. Besides the insurance settlement, I'm going to have to fork over 200-300. extra. And, besides, the insurance totalled my car. So, the kitties didn't get the treats and food they were counting on.
I put chicken parts in the pot to boil, thinking we could have a nice X-mas chicken and egg noodle soup. Oh yeah, I got the flu (and I had the flu shot. I am pissed!) or at least something nasty that I wouldn't want to pass on to relatives. It could have been from co-workers, or it could have been from Rocky Girl (she sneezed in my face, several times while we were in bed). My ears are all stopped up, my nose is red, snotty, and raw. My head isn't very clear, right now. My fingers are all thumbs. Temperature seems to increase, then decrease in sudden fluctuations. My eyes aren't as focused as usual. I don't feel good, at all.
So, after checking some work projects, I started the chicken to boil, with celery, onions, carrots, and finely chopped pecans. I had some Mango Rum (purchased on the cruise) and orange juice. There were vegetables in the frig that had been there too long. I took them out to the compost area. I blew my nose. I filled my glass with more rum and egg nog, since I ran out of juice. I cleaned the cat box. I blew my nose. I watched more of the 50 martial arts movies that I purchased from Amazon.com. I blew my nose. I painted my fingernails. I blew my nose.
I turned around and found that Grey Feather couldn't wait for the chicken. Poor Cotton. We loved him dearly. I guess we'll throw what's left in the pot with the chicken. Maybe it's the rum talking, but Cotton tastes just like chicken.
Happy Friday! As always, check out the wonderful animal pictures linked for Friday Ark at The Modulator.
Merry X-mas.

Friday Cat Blogging - Remote
It's funny, but after visiting Zorro, I am reminded of my own wonderful Rocky Girl. She has a history of remote controlling. **Rocky Girl has been sneezing for the past 3 or 4 days. I've heard worms can cause that, but I'm also wondering if the Derma loss detox foot patch might be the culprit. I decided to try the 5 day treatment, but after the third day, I realized she was sneezing... a lot. In a less than ten minute span, she had sneezed eight times. She seems to be eating alright, but the sneezing is probably scrambling her brains. If she doesn't stop sneezing, I'll try to get her an appointment with her PCP (primary care physician).
Sgt Mango probably needs to go, too. When I got back from vacation, he acted like he was all bound up. He was continually in the cat box, and acted like he didn't feel good. He's even taken over one of the floor plants as a urinal. He's lost a lot of weight, but rallied back. He seems to be feeling a lot better, but he's still urinating a lot.
Right before I left on vacation, someone had given me a partial bag of cat food (the expensive stuff bought from the vet) and I mixed it with my cats' regular feed. My cats get two different Purina products mixed together, so that was a third mixed in with the other two. I wonder if that was a big mistake? Anyway, they've almost finished that batch, but when I thought about it, yesterday, I decided to open the new bags of their regular stuff.

Ouch! I might have to get a different car for X-mas. I hope not, but the insurance adjuster didn't sound hopeful when she heard how many miles were on my car... and that I hadn't gotten the hail damage fixed...
