The haps

[susandennis]

Today was vet day. Biggie is not difficult to catch and stuff into the carrier but Julio is a different story. He was not interested. Not one single big and it took the two of us to finally get him in. Biggie cried the whole way there and the whole way back and Julio just suffered in silence. They are both fine and now vaccinated - good for the next 3 years.

Julio is just under 9.78 pounds and Biggie is 13.81. They are both now madly trying to lick the vet off of themselves. And Julio is not sure this whole horrible debacle might not happen again soon.

My post season ticket strip came into my account and my ticket - for 6 post season games - is for my same seat!! I was worried it wouldn't even be in the press club so this is huge and it made the buy or don't buy decision very easy. I bought.

1 Wildcard (Game 1)
1 Division Series (Home Game 2)
2 American League Champion Series (Home Games 1 & 3)
2 World Series (Home Games 2 & 4)

I paid for half now and then I'll pay the other half after the Division Series is over. $2,420 for each half. I'll get the money back for games not played but what fun is they are all played!!!

And I got some more questions answered from Pam at Timber Ridge. All the answers were fine so I told her I was ready for next steps.

I am so over talking on the phone. Everyone wants to have a 'quick call'. None of those calls would be quick at all and besides I don't want to talk on the phone quickly or any other way. If you send me the info I want, I can read it on my own time and re-read it and double check the info you are asking for to make sure it is correct.

And, most importantly, HAVE A FUCKING DATA TRAIL!

Geesh.

I'm looking at going with an insurance agent, moving to a senior community, buying baseball tickets, cashing in some investments ... and all these people want a 'quick call'. NO NO NO.

We still have chores on our list - donate cat food, cut my hair, pot shop... And tonight we're having dinner at one of my favorite places. It's in Pike Place market - Place Pigalle. Yum

My last cat was very hard to catch as well and did not respond to treats, so I ended up getting a used Bird net from a garage sale for ten bucks and used that twice to catch him in emergencies. After he passed last year I donated it to our vet so that they could use it themselves to catch any cats that might have escaped their cages.

we both said this morning that we needed a net!

[kitthemarlowe]

Then I would keep a look out for one at Goodwill or get one from amazon, the one I got is know, I think about twenty bucks. But my cat was smaller, you might need a larger one, that and thick gloves that cats can't bite through. Both times I used was for evacuation during hurricanes.

I have so many updates... of which, you looking to move to a senior living facility certainly took the cake!

Good luck with all that. <3

I've been away for a while and must have missed your post about moving. Is this a sudden decision? Hope its not because of some life changing awful....

[susandennis]

not sudden. not required. not happening for at least a year.

[empresspatti]

Big decision! Congrats on knowing what you want.

[fauxklore]

Did you consult with Biggie and Julio about the potential move?

[zoefruitcake]

Did they give you a hard time over Biggie's weight? They really don't like cats to be more than 5kg here which is 11.02 pounds

She said to maybe cut back a little on his food - that she didn't want him to be getting much bigger. I guess Americans really do like fat cats! ha!!
