Kitty Cat Update

Okay! So after a night of therapeutic cleaning my grandma gave me the idea of a spay and neuter clinic. This morning I called around getting prices and we found one that is super cheap. Its fairly close to my house and is going to be about the amount it would have been just to neuter Tiger at our vets office. It may actually turn out to be a little bit less. I made them an appointment for Friday morning and we pick them up on Saturday afternoon. Now I just hope they are around on Thursday night so we can nab them until morning. I haven't seen them all day. My guess is that Daphne is out again and Tiger is following her scent... Again. 


Wish me luck! 

Dilemma

We are faced with a choice. One we knew was coming but we are still completely unprepared for it. Daphne (our female cat) is in heat & Tiger (our male cat) is trying to mate with her. They are now 8 months old & we never had them fixed. Obviously. So I called the vet today and made them an appointment for tomorrow. For both of them its going to be at least $300. Not to mention recovery time and cost for pain medication. 


So our choices are: 
Keep them & pay the $300. This is not ideal, we don't exactly have the money to do this... Hence the reason we've put off fixing them in the first place. I would like to keep them but there is no way we can when they are not fixed. In fact, I think Daphne is out getting knocked up as we speak...


Give them away to someone via KSL or wherever This is also not ideal, giving them to someone for free could be giving them to anyone, crazy cat killers.. People who sacrifice animals for whatever reason... That thought scares me. But there is also a possibility that they could get a home together... But still.. Cat killers...


or,
Give them to the Humane Society Ideal, but makes me feel severely guilty. Why? Because we have had them for the first 8 months of their lives. We are all they know. But with the humane society there are less crazies since they have to pay for them. Which is nice. There is a small fee to take them there but I think it would be worth it.




Needless to say, I have a lot of thinking to do. I also need to cancel their appointment for tomorrow because paying that much for them is completely out of the question at this point. Writing it out helped me realize that. I love blogging.

Getting Ready For Christmas!

This really makes me want to vomit. If you listen to it take my advice, its easier to listen to it in parts. So pause and take a break every 30 seconds or so. I'm still not all the way through the song... If this doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit early NOTHING WILL!

Funny side note: While playing this song my cat proceeded to pee on the Christmas Tree Skirt. Lovely. And the dogs ran around the house barking because they couldn't figure out what the awful sound was.

Funny of the Day...

Amir just tried to flush the male cat. Thats right.. When I barged into the bathroom to see what he was doing the cat was half way in the toilet (in the water) and Amir had already flushed twice.

I guess cats aren't flushable.

I AM Awesome!

Yesterday was a GREAT day. I cleaned the house (with the help of my awesome husband) Amir had fun playing outside most of the day and Rich even made a "Sanctuary" for the cats downstairs. Now my bathroom isn't overpowered by cat poop/litter smell. AND the dogs cant eat their food which also means that Ruthie will stop throwing up. (Yipee!!) We have decided not to get our carpet upstairs professionally cleaned again. We are going to replace the carpet as soon as possible with something that has yet to be determined...Something that doesn't stain, wood, tile, whatever. lol.

I also baked yet another pumpkin pie. Which tasted awesome once again. I also organized the cupboard with all of the cooking stuff etc. I wish I had taken a before and after picture but I just have an after...

Awesome, right? I've been looking at that for weeks and have been too lazy to clean it out. I think today I'll move onto bigger and better things... Like organizing the pantry. Haha.

Things have been a LOT easier with the cat litter/food downstairs. Now Amir isn't getting into it every morning and the cats stay downstairs more so there are less trips down the stairs in a laundry basket ;) But there is still the occasion like today when I couldn't find one of the cats and it was stuck in Amir's Jammie drawer :) Too funny.
