Viola’s a curious cat. Here’s a small smattering of her latest whys.
Why do we have so many toys?
Why aren’t our names on our toys?
Why do the other cats dig toys out of the basket and leave them?
Why doesn’t Dad dig through the toy basket?
Why does Dad yell when I try to drink his coffee?
Why doesn’t Dad have his own personal feeder like we do?
Why doesn’t Dad share his kibble with me?
Why does Dad tell me he’s brushing kittens off my fur?
All of these can be answered with one word: Because. And that’s all the attention span needed today.
Good-bye July. It’s good to see you go. And Olivia says you can take all the vet visits in the world with you.
Olivia’s vet appointment for X-rays went good and fast but we haven’t heard back from our vet yet. It might be an X-ray people don’t work weekends thing in which case, we’ll hear something today or tomorrow. Olivia gained a few ounces and is no longer taking her appetite stimulator ear gel (it had a 30 day limitation). So, we’re going on a week-by-week basis and will just have to see what happens.
In other news, Tessa’s personal feeder (SureFlap bowl) stopped opening sometime on Saturday and we didn’t pick up why she was being so annoying in getting into EVERYTHING and in our faces constantly. For hours. Later in the day, just about kibble snack time, did Mom discover the problem and Dad worked on trying to get it to work correctly, with mixed results. Clearly, something else to keep an eye on. Really, SureFlap. You couldn’t have lowered your price on these by now?
Additionally, we just discovered we are unable to send out email. All along for oh, the last three months, we thought our email returns were a problem on the other end because, surely, it couldn’t be us, right?
How embarrassing. Why, oh why, do we have computer problems every single summer? Dad will need to hunt down this problem on top of the other problems and yearly failures we seem to go through. Please bear with us, and we apologize profusely if you were expecting a reply from us, any reply, an acknowledgement, a peep, anything, over the past few months. Truly, we had no idea it was us.
Okay July, good-bye to you and this month’s expenses. Bring on August!
Olivia goes to the vet today and Pia, who could hear someone quietly getting a pet carrier out of a closet a mile away, decided she’d rather be anywhere else.
Don’t mind the pin-pricked sofa arm in the photo. We’re pretty certain those responsible feel real bad about that.
