Last night:
I spent $100 at the vet's office for Bumper kitty's runny poop problem
Last night:
I had to wash the towels in the cat carrier because said Bumper kitty couldn't hold it for the three minute ride from the vet's office back to our house
Last night:
I had to wipe Bumper kitty's paws off...and then I had to change my clothes
Last night:
I canceled a dinner with my Pizza Guy Friend to clean the carpets and other surfaces soiled by, you guessed it, Bumper kitty
Last night:
Squash decided it would be fun to bite my arm...just because
Last night:
Percy snotted on my leg when he sneezed...AND barfed on my freshly laundered blanket.
Last night:
I awoke to a strange humming noise. Bumper kitty ventured downstairs and was sitting in front of my bed guarding me (Normally Squash's job). He was belly growling at Percy and Squash to keep them out of the room
Last night:
Bumper kitty's claws dug into my wrist while I was carrying him upstairs. This was actually not on purpose, he was trying to wriggle out of my arms to pick on a cat twice three times his size.
Last night:
I cried sobbed my first real tears out of ANGER over Russell leaving me (Read 0 for 2) (to be with his son in California) last year, and wrote an "I hate you for leaving me" letter in my mind.
Last night:
I cried because I'm tired of crying over this shit....the being alone shit, not the cat shit...
Last night:
Bumper kitty purred in my lap, even after I gave him his antibiotic.
Last night:
Percy flopped down next to me when I first got into bed and showed me his belly...and I totally forgot about my anxieties over a repeat of earlier snotting.
Last night:
Squash...well, Squash was pretty much a booger all night, but he did kill a bug.
Last night:
I resolved to being the best looking "Cat Lady" in Texas.
Good god that sounds like a shitty night. And yes, I intended the pun.
ReplyDeleteThis is another reason why dogs are far superior to cats. When shit happens, it is substantially less vomit-inducing than it is for cats.
Wow, sounds like you had a pretty busy night. Sorry about the kitties. Sounds like they had a group meeting to make sure you knew who was in charge.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have finally written your hate letter in your head to Russell. It allows you to be angry over how he left. It is bad enough he had to leave but leaving the way he did after knowing your history raised him to the top of the list for the Biggest Basterd of all Time. P.A.N. will always be on the top, but Russell is right up there next to him.
And you ARE the best looking and the funniest Cat Lady I know.
I'd agree with you about Russell, Tracy...but I still have the image of the "broken" man in tears at my door the weekend he decided he had to move to be with his son.
ReplyDeleteI hope tonight goes better. I really do.
ReplyDeleteYep... best looking weird cat lady ever!
ReplyDeleteYou're missing Peanut aren't you? I"m sorry girl.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm missing "The Nut"- Melynda...thanks for knowing me better than I know myself.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a rough night and I'm sorry you did. Hope that's the last one like that for a very very long time. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet Barb and WG!
ReplyDeleteAnd Arlequin...it's "crazy" cat lady
I think we'll all beg to differ with you on that lol. Anyway, say 'Tushi buns' one more time, I'm nearly there!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear that sounds like quite a night, you are my favourite cat lady ever! I hope bumper kitty feels better
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I love Texas, so I'm going to have to also agree with your concluding declaration.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a better night, my dear! :)
Cat Ladies are awesome! I hope you'll have an amazing night tonight. I'm praying that some wonderful things will start coming your way. ;)
ReplyDeleteStephanie, this was a great post, filled with frustration, angst, happiness, and love. Perfect! I was captivated, and didn't want it to end!
ReplyDeleteHey I was just thinking about you being the cat lady and it made me chuckle. Whenever I think of cat ladies it's always old ladies surrounded by a 100 cats. Then I looked around and I have just as many cats as you do AND the same amount of dogs. I guess I will be known as Melynda the patch lady that runs a zoo. Don't worry I will find a better title for myself before the day comes.. Maybe I should start raising some goats too and really freak people out. YEEEEEAAAAAH baby.
