Boring Domestic Stuff

[rolanni]

Mist flowing 'round the tree tops when I got up at 6:30. By the time I was finished the early morning cat chores, the mist was a full-fledged fog. The weatherbeans are calling for near-60(F) today and a chance of thunderstorms. What interesting weather.

Have to figure out a way to keep Hex from eating all the food, all the time. There are three cat bowls, and they're all his, which is tedious, at the least. Also, while I don't mind a big cat, I don't really think he needs to come to his Full Adult Weight within the next two weeks.

Laundry is started; breakfast eated and there's still coffee in the pot. My mission today is to re-vision the last third of Fledgling and get with the writing. The faculty member from whom the major amount of work has flowed this past month is out of town until Wednesday (when she returns, the deluge, I'm afraid...), so I'll take the Duainfey mass market proofs with me to the day-job. I'm looking at this as a golden opportunity to find out how many sex scenes there actually are...

The fog is getting thicker. Mozart is asleep on his box by my knee; Scrabble is curled 'round in the co-pilot's chair in Steve's office, and Hexapuma is...somewhere. Hmmmm....

Re: Hexapuma is...somewhere. Hmmmm....

Have you checked the food cabinet? :o)

Unworthily, that was my first thought. He was, however, Innocently(tm) curled up under the futon in the basement. This has become, as I understand it, a Favorite Spot. I worry that he'll have a growth spurt while he's under there and not be able to get out...

Oh, Any chance that you can get the person who lectured you before (the snippy, angry, bitchy lady) to ask you what you're doing? So that you can answer that you are counting sex scenes?

Handled correctly, the resulting explosion should probably be audible here in Japan. Somewhat like Krakatoa?

Yanno, I could probably get the same reaction by simply admitting that I was going over the page proofs for my next novel...

We had to resort to holding the greedy one so that the others had a chance to eat. To this day he'll gulp his food then reach over and drag the other's bowl out from under their mouths to eat their food.

Is Hexapuma enough larger than the other cats that you can take a cardboard box and cut a small door into it that the other cats can fit through and he can not? Have resorted to this in the past when the (big) adult cat kept taking food from the adolescents.

Hmm... Hex is still smaller than Mozart, though he may eventually (like, next Wednesday) surpass him in fact if not in deed. Scrabble is your basic seven-pound Cat's Cat. It's Scrabble who is most traumatized by the Tiger in the Kitchen, but I'm not sanguine regarding the probability of her willingly entering a box, even to eat. Worth a try, I guess. At the least it will be amusing watching Hex pushing the box around the kitchen, with his head stuck in the opening...

"breakfast eated" = favorite phrase of the day.

[keristor.livejournal.com]

I think that may be Hex's phrase: "UR BREKFAST, I EATED IT"...

I feel obliged to point out

Please do note: H.P. is used to free feeding all day, whenever he wants, and he has never been overweight. He may be hungry . . .
