The topic: Beds
----------------------------------------------

Earlier this year, when the cold weather was replaced by the warm, I took all of the heated cat beds and had every intention of getting them washed. I finally did this last week.

I put one in the living room under the coffee table and the other three are in the window in the family room.

And one by one, the cats checked them out and now, during the day, all three are occupied. Kitty cats like warm places.

The topic: I sewed today
----------------------------------------------

For the first time in over a year, I pulled out the sewing machine and took care of one of the projects on my list.

I had gotten more of those blankets, the kind you see on the catcam chair to use as pillow covers for the big body pillows we’ve gotten at CostCo for the cats to lay on. We’ve got three of them. I figure these would be easier to clean than the pillows.

I sewed up six of the suckers. Washed one pillow since the others were being used by kittycats. We had some real weather today and the majority of the cats stayed in the house, snoozing in various soft and warm places.

When the pillow was washed and dried, I slipped one of the covers on it and it works nicely.

I hope the cats like them

The topic: Amazing cats
----------------------------------------------

Saturday morning, I was cleaning out litter boxes. I was in the garage and I heard a noise in the rafters. I looked over to see Lorelei fall to the cement floor from one of the crossbeams.

She had a rough landing on her left front leg. She hobbled off into hiding. I was able to get to her and I felt her leg, mostly to see how she reacted. It wasn’t like Marco’s, just hanging there and while she didn’t appreciate what I was doing, it wasn’t extremely painful to her.

She was able to put some weight on it and as the hours went by, it seemed to be getting better. Two days later, you’d have no idea she’d hurt herself.

There is talk of boarding up the rafter access, though
