Draining
Being an adult is draining, but it goes more smoothly if the drain works. Last Ether decided to lay on top of me as soon as I turned off all the lights and went to bed. When I shifted positions so did he. This went on for about an hour, and when he was done…

Ether at Rest
Ether is resting in my lap. He has been very affectionate since the veterinarian. The fleas are mostly dead but his head and neck are still knobby. But he can relax again and is mostly choosing to do so on me. He’s a good cat. I wonder how much of my life I could live…

Cat Naps
Last night I stayed up later than I should have playing a video game. I turned it off at about 11:30 and was settled into bed by midnight. But Magic wanted to be near me once I was settled. She jumped up on the dresser next to my bed and groomed herself. As she spread…

Cuddles vs. Fleas
Ether has been especially cuddly in the past week or two. He wants to be close to me or more annoyingly close to whatever I am eating. I love the little guy, but he’s got fleas. We have given him medication that goes on the back of the neck to get rid of them, but…

Fighting
Ether didn’t come in the house tonight until Stephanie called him. He’d been fighting so she rubbed beeswax in the tender areas. Ether likes to fight. I joked that I do too but neither one of us is any good at it. I need to continue to ask Jesus to take away my fighting disposition.…

Keep the Cat in the House
Ben doesn’t like it when the cats are outside. It’s a cold rainy day to at least today I am inclined to agree with him. The problem is that he doesn’t have a good idea of whether Ether is in or out. He opens the door to check and Ether runs out. Then the cat…

Pustular
I learned a new word today. Something that is oozing pus is pustular. Ether’s butt is bloody and pustular. He needs to see a vet, but nobody has the spoons for that. Stephanie put on some lotion and it seemed to help. He’s in better shape than he was this winter in all other regards.…

Ether in my Lap
Ether wanted my attention a lot today. He sat in my lap and groomed himself for upwards of two hours today. My sons were sleeping most of that time and Stephanie needed to be left alone after a dentist appointment. So Ether had me all to himself. At some point Stephanie and the children all…

My Lap
For about a year Magic would curl up in my lap and sleep. Sometimes this was for several hours. Then Ether came and has tried to claim my lap since then. But Magic isn’t going to let him bully her and I won’t either. Magic was in my lap this morning and Ether walked up…

Sleeping with a Cat
Last night Ether was climbing all over Stephanie while she was trying to sleep. She got fed up with him, put him in my room, and closed her door. Ether immediately wanted my attention instead, but I was also trying to sleep. He climbed all over me for about twenty minutes and eventually lay down…
