I dont know, my cats were always picky about their food. It’s be hard to get fat and floppy. The exception was what was on MY Plate, then they weren’t picky anymore. Tosh used to jump on the table, grab something off my plate, then run. I think it was the thrill of the hunt….sometimes she’d only get a green bean, or cartot, then she’d be mad at me!
World Bee Day. I love bumblebees and honey bees, but I’m not a fan of yellow jackets, hornets and wasps.
International Red Sneakers Day. I don’t have any red sneakers.
National Be a Millionaire Day. Well that’s never going to happen to me.
National Rescue Dog Day. Yes! Adopt, don’t shop.
National Pick Strawberries Day. I can’t. They’re not in season until June. I have strawberries in my back yard and they have blossoms on them, but no berries yet.
Drat! The chimney cleaning guy never got here yesterday. Now I’m still out on a limb about how to vent my water heater or wondering if I should get a new one (maybe an electric one so I don’t have to vent it. In case you missed it, here’s a copy & paste of my post on Tuesday so you can understand what I’m talking about.
“I got some rather shocking and disturbing news this afternoon. It scares me a bit to say this, but I guess my cats and I are lucky to be alive right now. MGE was here today to change out my gas meter. After they did that, they had to relight my pilot lights on the furnace & water heater. And they found a serious problem with the water heater. It’s supposed to be venting through my chimney, but the chimney is blocked and that’s blocking the vent so but for the grace of God (or the fact my house and basement are not exactly air tight), he said I’m lucky the house did not fill up with carbon monoxide. He had to shut off my water heater and I’m having someone coming tomorrow to look at my chimney to see if it can be cleared out or if I need to vent the water heater in a different way. It’s either that or get a new water heater – a direct vent type. I don’t know what that might cost, but I’d sure hate to have to do that since my water heater isn’t very old. But whatever it takes (I hope if I need a new water heater it doesn’t cost too much). So, I’m happy to be alive and on vacation so I can deal with this scary issue however I need to.”
Actually, I looked up when I bought the current water heater and found out it’s already 8 years old. And stuff I read said that the life expectancy of a water heater is 8 years. I was expecting them to be good for about 15 years. I’m considering switching to an electric one so I don’t have a venting issue. Any thought on this?
A fat cat is a bored cat. Find your cat something to do. Otherwise, a cat will find it’s own things to do – with your furniture, knick-knacks shoes, etc.
I just talked to a plumber – the same one that installed the old water heater 8 years ago. I will have a new direct vent gas water heater installed sometime tomorrow. It’s going to cost some money, but no more than I expected it to cost, since I looked up prices in the internet last night. To go electric would have required getting an electrician here first. More time, more money, might as well stick with gas.
My cousin Becky just called and told me that the cancer surgery worked and she now cancer free! No need for chemo, but she’s supposed to start some radiation treatments next week.
Just what we need. Really fat cats! I don’t know if I’d trust this Dr. Fill. How do we know he’s not really Chesney running another scam? On another note, saw a rabbit, three robins, and a sparrow while out walking today.
Hi Everyone… computer problem! Friday’s TEN CATS can be seen on the TEN CATS fan club page at https://www.facebook.com/Ten-Cats-Fan-Club-331800560506891
National Bike To Work Day. I’m still on vacation, but there’s no way I’d ever bike to my job.
National Strawberries and Cream Day. I have some teeny tiny green strawberries on my strawberry plants, but mostly I only have blossoms. Strawberries & cream will have to wait a while. I’m not going to buy those hard, dry, tasteless strawberries from the grocery store.
National Memo Day. I’m writing memos all over the place – starting a grocery list for when I go back to work on Sunday and a map of my garden as I’m planting it, notes reminding me to pay bills, etc.
National Waitstaff Day. Along with retail workers, some of the most unappreciated (and often underpaid) workers there are.

I have heard that some cats are pigs, but not our two. We have to beg Motley to eat.

A couple of my cats are a bit overweight, but not grossly so.
