That Dang Cat
Yesterday evening Ether got out again. He did not return for night fall. He did not return in the day. He has still not returned 24 hours later. We are as you might imagine worried. It’s not the first time he’s been gone this long. He’s probably okay. But it’s been storming, so he’s also…

Black Cat on a Friday Night
It’s 10 pm and Ether is still outside. That always concerns Stephanie and me a bit. But tonight in particular Ben is anxious that the cat is out. He doesn’t like the cats outside but has come to accept it during the day. But at night they all need to be inside for him to…

Cat Litter
I’ve been putting off changing the litter in the three litter boxes. I did that today. I got all the way out to the garbage bin before one of the bags broke. I really need to be more proactive about this job. It gets grosser the longer I put it off. But it’s done for…

Ethereal Sleep
I didn’t go to bed until 3am. Ether really wanted to be next to me when I did. I usually roll back and forth to get comfortable. The spot he picked allowed me to do that and he didn’t mind this time. I bet that sounds weird, but he is an awesome cat. My sleep…

Ether Hates Showers
I don’t remember whether I typed about this when it happened but Ether got into a fight with a stray cat in the neighborhood a few weeks ago. I shooed the other cat away and picked Ether up and brought him into the house. He was wet, sticky, and gross. I can only assume that…

Ether Got A Shower
There is a black and white stray cat in the neighborhood. We call it Popo after the police. Ether likes being outside but unfortunately is very territorial when it comes to Popo. Yesterday I heard them fighting and found them trying to kill each other in the neighbor’s driveway. I was able to break them…

Bins and Boxes and a Cat
I’ve been cleaning up more than usual today. I picked up Alex’s floor which is a bigger task than it sounds. I cleaned all three litter boxes because they really needed it since I’ve been putting it off. I took the diaper garbage to the bins and the bins to the curb. I even took…

Hiding in the Basement
We leave the basement door open at night so the cats can get in and out. Our youngest son doesn’t like it when the cats are in the basement and doesn’t like the basement door open. There is a crawl space just inside the door where the cats sometimes retreat. Our son woke up and…

How’s it going?
I’m having a good day. I got both boys off with their service providers. I got a little “quiet time” while the house was empty except for Stephanie sleeping. The cats have been decent to each other though Magic has hissed at Cosmos and Ether. And then my friend Danny brought beer. So I’m a…

Pajamas on a Wednesday
I haven’t done a lot today. I haven’t even gotten out of my pajamas. My alarm didn’t go off at 9 am. I’m not sure if I accidentally turned it off or if a child was playing with my phone. At any rate I was less aware than I should be in the morning. The…
