I’ll rescue them, but four is the limit.
In the (hopefully far distant) future, when it’s time to adopt another cat, The Honorable Mathematician gets to pick. It’s his turn.
The professor in my clinical behavior class at school said that the official “crazy cat lady” limit is over six cats. I still have a buffer of two cats between me and that title; fortunately I only have room for four, so it’s improbable I’ll ever achieve that lofty goal.
subtitled: What I didn’t do last evening. I couldn’t do it. The Socialist called me an asshole and a few other unkind things, but I just couldn’t go to the movies alone. It was probably just as well. I got out of work later than I wanted, and didn’t get home until 6:30. The movie…
I feel pretty lousy at the moment. I’m just back from getting the paracentesis done, and my abdoment is very crampy and sensitive. Today we broke my all-time high, set two and a half weeks ago at 8.125 liters. Today we drained 9.4 liters off of me. Let’s see – 9.4 liters is approximately 9.4…
Memorial Day weekend ended mostly unremarkable. Indeed, things in general are far less remarkable than they were last year this time. Perhaps the most remarkable thing that happened was that the Younger Sister called to give me her regards on the anniversary of the transplant (as measured by the day-before-Memorial-Day as opposed as measuring from…
I have a small family. Two sisters, that’s all there is. My parents were both only children. There’s no aunts, no uncles, no cousins. Neither of my sisters had children, and I have no children. No kids, no neices, no nephews, no grandkids. This actually makes for a complication-free lifestyle in many areas of my…
five six eight Seven’s out there too, somewhere. So’s nine. I just can’t be arsed to find them. A lot has happened in ten years. They no longer give heparin to cardiac patients. Synthetic heparinoids are all the rage now. No allergic reactions to those. I was one of the first patients to get a…
So I returned home yesterday full of contrition, intending to make amends for being such a beast over the weekend. The Professor was working at his computer, and his novel was up on the screen, so I simply said hi, gave him a peck on the cheek, and went to pill and feed my very…
That’s a nice Thanksgiving story.
Wonderful….
Now *that’s* a story to be thankful for!
What a wonderful, wonderful story. Complete with happy ending.
Thank you for that.
What a wonderful tale, and what a cutie! Those eyes are just too much.
Now I want a cat. When I tell Hubby, he will have kittens…so I don’t have long to wait!

What a lovely heartwarming story. I was half expecting to read that you’d taken her home yourself, but I’m glad she found a home so quickly, and seems to be recovering.
We had a sad incident with a cat last night. There was a knock on the door quite late, someone asking if we knew who owned a tabby (not Saffy, thankfully!) that had just been hit by a car in front of our house. The car that hit her had driven off, but the car behind it was driven by a vet nurse who stopped to check on the cat. She wasn’t looking good (bleeding from the mouth, and only barely conscious), but the nurse made her comfortable and took her to the after hours vet in town. I haven’t heard how she did, but I’m hoping she was as lucky as Smiley.
It’s nice to know there’s still some people kind enough to help an animal in pain. Thank you for being one of them!

You made me cry, you wonderful, Evil person. Thank you for being so kind to something so tiny and precious.
Like FutureCat, I was prepared for you to say you’d adopted the darling little thing yourself to add to your brood. I was all ready to call you a Crazy Cat Lady. ;o)
Phew, I’m still 3 cats away from the limit!
