Mr. Riggs is at the vet’s this morning getting neutered. I am praying that after this surgery his aggressive growling and snarling at other cats will vanish and he will not want to talk as much as before. He meowed the entire night last night. I finally popped a pair of ear plugs in so I could sleep. Mike is lucky in that respect. He just takes out his hearing aids before he goes to sleep and then he’s deaf as a post. I don’t like to sleep with ear plugs in- because I need to hear if Mike stops breathing (sleep apnea) or if a cat or two starts quarreling. But, I do need to sleep.

Pebbles is going downhill quickly after her vet visit. She has stopped eating- she is drinking a lot of water but there is no urine in the pans. I think the vets might have been right saying that she is probably fighting cancer. They put her age at about 14 and this poor girl has had such a rough life.She has pretty much just stayed in one spot inside her heated cat house since we brought her home the other day after her visit. Not sure what is going to happen from here on in with her.
