  • Police helicopter circling near my kid’s school. Distracting…

    In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat’s claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.

    Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.





  • Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.

    My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We’re close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She’s not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.

    Since she’s been back inside she’s had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.


  • My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.

    Panic!

    She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.

    My son comes out yelling “Mum! She’s at the back door!”. He let’s her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.

    She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.

  • It’s nice to be social but I’ve had my fill for this week. Need a lot of solo time to recharge.

    Today is all about finding a farm stay for a mum-&-son weekend away in a couple of months, making tteokbokki for the first time and doing the ironing.

    Loving this weather. Love this type of easy, light rain.

    But first: coffee!
