The topic: Handsome’s feeling better

----------------------------------------------

Today is day three of his Baytril. 

He’s been looking a little better each day and today, his drooling isn’t close to being as bad as it had been.  The first two days of the Baytril, I was able to get it right down him.  Tonight, he fought me.  He doesn’t find as hard as he used to and once I’m done, he doesn’t hiss and slap at me.  He lets me pet him.

Tonight, though, he spit the damned pill out three times.  I finally got him in the kitchen, I got on my knees, held him between them, put my left arm around his chest, holding his legs down and got his left paws in my left hand.  Then I pried his mouth open with my right hand, which was holding the dissolving pill and got it far enough in his throat that he swallowed it. 

He stalked off when I let him go. Sat there and gave me the evil eye, then let me pet him.

Brat.

The topic: Can a stranger find out where YOU are?

----------------------------------------------

I’ve seen this twice now.  zabasearch.com.  And it’s just wrong.  nono5

So many of us go through many steps to protect our privacy online and this company comes up with all sorts of links to our personal information.  All of our phone lines are unpublished.  I don’t put my real name or address out on the internet because, honestly, the idea of someone knowing where I live and dumping cats off, or even worse, coming here to do harm to our cats, scares me.  And what’s worse, with the things the way they are, I’m not being paranoid.

I sent an email to the company to please remove my information and guess what? They won’t do it without me setting up an account/record (FREE!) with them. Then I can delete to my heart’s content. And this has to be done via snail mail.  In the meantime, who knows what mischief someone can do with our information?

My suggestion?  Alert your state representatives.  Don’t know who they are?  Maybe this will help:

To find your state representative, click here.

To find your state senator, click here.

Let’s get this website shut down.

Something I hadn’t considered is one of the things they show is birth month and year.  This will be open season on the elderly.  All across the U.S.

Bad thing. Very bad thing. 

To find out how to opt out of this and other websites that have your information available for just anyone, go to The FTC’s Online Information Sellers - How To Opt Out page.  You might be surprised to find how many are out there.

The topic: Stop it!  You’re driving me crazy!

----------------------------------------------

Due to Annie’s incessant yowling in the bathroom in the middle of the night, I’ve decided to start closing the bathroom door so she can’t get in.

I made this decision around one this morning, when had to get out of bed to get her to shut up.  She was standing by the shower door on the back of my toilet.  Did I open the door?  Did I turn on the faucet for her?

No, I did neither.  I picked her up and put her outside of the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.

Bathrooms have an echo, you know.

Then she toddled down the hallway back to the office and I went back to bed.
