Thank you. I am trying not to worry. I am at work with very little to do. It is our slow season so I am just kind of pacing about attempting to look busy or chatting with my supervisor who has even less work to do. The time slips by slowly that way.

Deirdre is only about 7 years old and has been in pretty good health for most her life. She rarely has any hairball problem as she has a very slick smooth coat with little undercoat. Now the last year she has been chewing the hair off her tummy and insides of her legs due to stress we believe. She has always been an intense cat. And she is very jealous of me. Also tends to urinate on my clothing when she feels insecure. Unfortunately in one way for her she has this problem. I have that invisable to humans but blaring to animals neon sign blazing on my forehead that says SUCKER. My entire life strays and the needy animals have found their way to my doorstep. But it was also fortunate for her as she was one of those strays. I live in a University town where we have MANY student drop offs. She showed up on my doorstep at the end of the summer semester with her hair still growing back from her spay. We don't have many neighbors and are a number of miles from the nearest "town" so I am pretty sure she was a SDO. The graduate and realize that they have to move across the country and don't want to bother for whatever reason to take the pet that was SOOOO adorable just a few months ago when they were lonely. So the rural outskirts become a dumping ground.

Anyway....thanks for reading my babble while I watch the minutes tick on by. When I have better pics of my crew online I will post them.
