Eggnog!

Ooops!

I was out of the shower and drying myself off and I eggnogged. A rather large eggnog.

And it startled Arnold.

Poor thing!

Audrey Goes to Exile Island

Well, not really... but I'm really tempted.

Gosh that girl is driving me crazy!!! Mer mer mer! That's all she ever does!

1 am. 2 am. 3 am. 4 am. 5 am.

So I feed her. She eats two bites. I go feed Arnold.

Mer outside the bedroom door. Soooooo pitifully.

I go back into the fliving room. "Eat, Audrey, eat! I'll keep you company."

Mer mer mer. Mer mer mer.

Makes me crazy.

And did you see the picture I put on facebook when she was parked on my lap? Sooooo innocent.

Arnold and the Sink

Arnold enjoys playing in the sink while I brush my teeth. Especially if Audrey isn't there.

He pushed his head under the faucet so he could drink around the drain and got his head soaking wet! It was so cute!

Crazy man.

Arnold Update

Dr. Thigpen is happy that Arnold seems to be back to his normal self... except for that bit about growling at Audrey...

The kitties will go to the Kitty Hotel at Countryside Animal Clinic while I go on vacation in August. While they are there Arnold will be asked to provide a urine sample - something he will not be happy to do voluntarily. How could I possibly ask someone to come over and do the complicated feeding thing that I do???

- Give Audrey half a can and put the other half in the fridge. If giving from the fridge, microwave for 8 seconds.
- Give Audrey 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of food from container labeled "Arnold and Audrey Brochu"
- Put 1 scoop Benefiber in Arnold's bowl.
- Give Arnold 1/4 can of special food and put remainder in the fridge. If giving from fridge, microwave for 8 seconds.
- Give Arnold 1/4 cup (1 scoop) of food from the re-sealable container that is very difficult to re-seal. Check re-seal carefully.
- Feed Arnold in bathroom - carefully closing the door to both bedroom and bathroom so Audrey doesn't bother him.
- Check on Arnold in approx. 1 hour. Take away the bowl of mostly-eaten food and rinse it out. Can leave the doors open.
- Take away Audrey's bowl of who-knows-how-much-has-been-eaten-food and rinse it out and grind the rest away in the disposal. Don't feel guilty about wasting food or about starving kitties in Africa who would love to have this food.


See? How could I leave those kinds of instructions for anybody???

The Kitties and I miss the Poohlets

Mostly because I could count on a poohlet entertaining a kitty in the fliving room while I park with Arnold in my bedroom or vice versa.

Poor Arn. He's all alone in the bedroom. I think he's under the bed. Audrey is nowhere to be found. Not even in her secret foof hiding place.

What to do... What to do???

Kitties

Hmmmm... got an idea from the adoption ladies at the PetSmart... somthing called "Rescue Remedy". It's full of wildflower extracts and is supposed to calm down agitated kitties.

Rock Rose: For terror and panic
Impatiens: for irritability, nervousness, and tension
Cherry Plum: For fear of losing control
Star of Bethlehem: For trauma, shock, and numbness
Clematis: For unconsciousness

So I got some from Whole Foods yesterday and tried it with Arnold. It made him groggy. He'd had some when he watched Audrey play with his Zoom catnip toy. I gave him some more after dinner. I also gave Audrey some around bedtime. It's 4 drops squirted into her mouth. She tried and tried not to swallow! It was pretty funny.

But it didn't seem to make a real difference. There was still growling through the night. She parked with me on my bed. I think he was under the bed.

It's just so sad!

Happy Arnold

To help keep Arnold happy and occupied in confinement, I gave him his pink fuzzy thing from cb's balloon.

He's so happy! He doesn't growl at it, but he does carry it around and play with it and toss it around.

I've also gone into my room and found it on my bed.
