Hubby is trying to convince me that we shold keep Mikey and Mystic! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Seriously.... can I actually DO it?
I ADORE Mystic. Trixie is thrilled to have him back. Callie is thrilled to have both boys back too - they played with her. I am actually startled at the reality when I see them running around the house. My problem is Pouncer and Mikey. I swear those two boys are one in the same. I thought Mikey stresses Pouncer out, but he's been just as mellow as he was while Mikey was gone. Yes, Everybody fit right in like they never left.
Every where I look, I see a cat. I feel like I've crossed a line into looney-ville.
I had 5 cats only a few months ago. They were easy to care for. We had a nice routine. They were TERRIFIED of Callie. We got the kittens so she could learn not to chase the cats. It worked perfectly! But now I've got 8 cats who are relaxed around a bouncing hyper dog. I feel like I'm in a zoo.
If someone pees or poos, I have NO IDEA who it was.... and we've had too many incidents to count this summer. Allen's been AWFUL pooping outside the box. We had to rip up all the carpet because of him. Pouncer's been peeing a LOT, and won't take his pills. Oh, he'll take them, but I'll find them on the floor the next day. Do I sound stressed? Can anybody spare few Xanax pills? ;)
The extra food, litter, vet care is a LOT of money. I haven't mentioned it, but my husband took a disability retirement two weeks ago. It'll be enough to pay the bills, but extras, like emergency vet care will be tough on us (but have those trips ever been easy?) Since hubby's home full time, he definitely will be here to help with the cats' care. He just doesn't "do" litterboxes :p ;)
Right now, I have 8 cats --- EIGHT CATS!!! --- staring at me. All circled around me (oh and a dog who thinks she's a cat :rolleyes: ) Of course, its because they're all starving for their morning meal.
If he's willing, I suppose I'm willing to give it a try. He's a house hubby now, so I no longer have to worry about getting rid of all the cat hair! Thats his job! :D
