Cat Pee and hard drives do not mix! One of the latest arrivals that we call Goliath got out of his cage last week and unbeknownst to us, he baptized the back of my computer! Since he wasn’t a tomcat (thank God) it took a few days for the urine to work its corrosion inside my computer and BAM I am offline! LOL
Thank God for Mike, he used to build computers for a living, so he was able to rebuild mine to a certain extent. I did lose some pretty important paperwork along with some photos, but it could have been so much worse.
In my absence- Berri, Porter, Anders, Lionel Gypsy, Badger, December and Nemo all went to new homes! Leaving us on Monday are Star, Linus, Sebastian and Nickle they will be turned over to the local shelter- spayed/neutered and put up for adoption.
Also MK- stands for Mystery Kitty who we have had now 12 years and NEVER been able to get close to her- is now letting me pet her and pick her up! She is one of the most beautiful cats here- part Persian and Maine Coon and probably 25 pounds. I was so shocked when she walked up to me, I picked her up and felt her all over for wounds, injuries, masses> Nothing but hair. The “visit” on her terms was short but sweet and I managed to flea-treat and de-worm her before she realized what she was doing and reverted to her semi-feral state.
The three kittens returned to us: Sophie, Cagney and Roscoe are a real surprise. They are so aggressive. Cagney and Roscoe both attacked Journey. I have no idea what has happened to these kittens since I adopted them out over a year ago, but in order to keep peace, I had to put two of them into an outside enclosure. Sophie growls but she doesn’t attack so she is in the house mixing with the others. Sometimes people are not what they seem and this is a prime example. These kittens left her loving and in good weight. The couple insisted they took all the cats to the vet multiple times, but when I did some checking up on them- the clinic has never even heard of the people or the cats. Oh well, over time, I will work with them and get them back to their loving head-bumping selves.
Well, I just caught a whiff of myself. No, I do not smell like cat pee! But I smell of sulphur dip and even though I have washed my hands umpty dozen times, I think it is time for calgon to take me away!
Hope all is well with all of you and if you don’t receive your letter for tax purposes if you donated, please let me know. I will resend immediately.
God Bless us All-
I know of someone else whose computer was sabotaged the same way – and no, it wasn’t me! I am glad you are back in the internet business, though.
The adoptions have been flying about furiously there, eh? It’s bad about the returns, though. Obviously, those adopters hid their real selves well, though why they would want cats and not look after them – or worse – is beyond me. The cats’ sweet dispositions will return in time, but it’s still a shame.
