Well, I'm just sitting on the couch while all the cats are napping. Cocoa has just woken up next to me and is washing her face, Finn is asleep on the top level of the cat tree, and Freddie is asleep on the back of the Green Chair. Romana is asleep probably on Auntie Di's bed, or in the closet. The rain has turned to snow. I hope the stray moggies will be OK. I need to put some food out for them soon.
Finnie has been having some stomach issues and had to go to the vet today. The vet gave him some new medicine and told me to take up his food for 12 hours (Finn's, not the vet's). So far, he seems to be handling it OK. He hasn't actually eaten since about 12:30 or 1:00, so we can probably put some food down for him before we go to bed (assuming Target doesn't close early). The others will get a special treat; they'll get to eat their supper on the counter where Finn can't reach!
Yesterday, I went to Petco to get more dry food for both my indoor and outdoor cats; and while I was there, I talked to a lady from AdvoCats, who said she will help get a group together to do a trap-neuter-return operation here at Idylwood Village West. I'm e-mailing her Monday (per her request) to find out what I need to do. We'll probably have to get permission from the management, and I expect we'll trap a few cats who actually have homes, because several of the moggies I've seen at the feeding station look pretty well cared for. So either they belong to someone who lets them run loose, or they have several benefactors! So far, we have seen a couple of black-and-white cats, a tortie, a solid black with white paws, a solid grey, and a grey tabby, but no Siamese. Mittens remains missing, and I hope she's all right. I don't like the idea of her being out in the snow. If she's been taken in somewhere, I wish we could find out who has her. Of course, I'd then have to go and get her back, and that could lead to a fight.
