morning thoughts

[cornerofmadness]

couldn't sleep. It was just too damn hot. I left the a/c on higher than usual, had the ceiling fan on high, had the tower fan by the bed on high, had on no clothes and I still couldn't sleep and thank god I'm changing the bed anyhow since it's now a puddle of sweated up sheets. Summer can bite the fattest part of my ass.

Kanda, I'm happy to report, is finally a kitten. Goddess help me. He had been such a good boy but I suspected that was due to starvation and a lac of feeling safe. Now that he's been dewormed, deflea-ed, getting nutrients and knows he can sleep on my futon unmolested he's changing. Apparently when I bathed him I washed away what little goodness that was in him and now I'm left with hell cat. Hell cat tries to climb the doors (don't make me shoot you), rips through the house (and often slams headlong into things), refuses food that was just dandy yesterday, attacks the futon, attacks anything with fringe, attacks me, attacks the bedspread over the futon and rolls himself up in it, makes it impossible for you to tie your shoes.

Yep, it's a kitten. GAH. There are reasons I didn't want a kitten. I need to get footage of the pathetic sounds he makes. Of course now the females outside are in heat and there are males everywhere. Kanda is not going out there

Oh, Kanda, you're the bright spot in my morning (because you're living with COM and not me).

*ROTFLMAO*

Yup that's a kitten alright! Good luck.

*more giggling*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes exactly. I'm going to find him hanging from the ceiling fan one of these days because he's fascinated by them

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Iktomi fascinated by them, too?

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Well, yay for being a kitten, not so yay for the typical kitten hijinx.

Heh, that's one of the reasons that I, a dedicated anti-declawing person, ended up having TJ declawed. He'd fly across the living room, leap over the couch and then climb the curtains to the top in .00010 seconds flat! He was totally uncontrollable. He's still just as nuts, just not as destructive. LOL

And he's totally pissed at me right now because I won't let him out in the 90^o+ heat.

We got Hobbes declawed for the same reason (that and he wouldn't stop slashing us, too, with his front claws and we never had a clue what would provoke him into it).

My other cat, Sable, was never declawed, and the only thing he destroyed was a friend's silk shirt. See, Sable thought he was a dog, and would stretch up on his hind legs to be petted. He liked to hook his claws into my shorts/jeans pockets and "go for a ride". He did this to my friend and...

bye bye, silk shirt.

Goodness, I love cats. (Yes, I have many fine and expensive items destroyed by kitteh hijinks.)

And dogs, who get up on the counter when my back is turned to get to the cat food which was refused by cat and breaks YET ANOTHER cat dish. (That's two cat dishes and THREE small cat food can lids, and I can't catch him with the mouse traps. Dog 5, Kathy 0.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort, that's a wily dog

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well since your ex wanted to call Hobbes Slash, declawing was for the best

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

trust me I understand. I may have to do the same and I have the same mixed feelings about declawing

Kanda is most happy he's in the a/c

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is why I wanted an older cat but no, I end up with a kitten and is looking to get him akitten buddy because what could go wrong there

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, nothing ever goes wrong with that.

Really.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes he was

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll need luck

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That was the ex-roomie, not the ex-husband. I don't think Sean ever noticed. Hobbes got Lance and me more than he ever got Sean.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...oh, Kanda.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

close enough for my brain

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Did Ling Disappear too? And Roy? Is it that three cats in a row that you've paid to get neutered and had expensive vet bills to get them healthy and then they get stolen? That's so not cool. Don't let Kanda out any more. He'll learn before long and he won't WANT to go out. Better than having some jackass that isn't going to take as good of care of him take off with him. (or worse sell him to a lab.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

A neighbor ran out on rent and we think she stole Roy and Ling. If my landlord finds her, I told him I want to know so I can get the cops to look for my cats.

Either that or the coyotes got Ling.

Kanda is getting used to staying in which is very very good.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Considering you only met one of them once at that art show....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nods nods, no i met the Ex at sci-fi city once too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that wasn't exactly MEETING, when he hollered and then ran out the door.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Either scenario is unacceptable. Seriously. People just suck. "Oh I like her pet and she already paid to have him neutered and got his shots and all the expensive vet bills out of the way, so I'll just take him now." What jerks. I hope the landlord finds her and You get them back.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Yes... yes, he is.

Leave it to Barb to get us a dog who's smarter than me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and the OTHER neighbor that ran out on the rent is the one who threw ling out in the first place

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

And chainmail!

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Fortunately I haven't noticed that the declawing has incapacitated TJ in any way. He still gets those paws into everything he can find. LOL

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I had to get one of my other cats declawed and he had no issues. He was just as evil without them
