Sally's Quiet Weekend of Doing Nothing

[annwfyn]

I just spent £70 on cat stuff.

Somehow, all of this seemed necessary.

It was, in order:

1 kitten scratching post
1 kitten carrier
1 litter tray
1 bag of cat litter
1 kitten bed
5 cartons of kitten milk
1 bag of kitten food
1 little dangling kitten toy (only cost £2, so felt like not an extravagence)
4 stainless steel bowls for dry food, wet food, & water
1 wipe clean mat to put the food bowls on and stop messiness.

I'm now home, having spent most of this morning wandering around, first of all trying to find my way to Pets At Home in Blackheath, then wandering around Greenwich (the market does great and sinful breakfast food - freshly baked chocolate brownie with a swirl of raspberry jam in the middle = mmmmmm), and finally coming back to find bringeroflight out, and rweishaar watching Black Hawk down. It's very odd watching a movie and suddenly being aware that the person sitting next to you was actually there.

Hrm. Just wrote a long ramble on my views on war, the military and Armistice Day and then deleted it. I don't think I'm really qualified to make these comments. Maybe I'll try and formulate it a bit better later.

Hi !

Just want to know that I'm a veterinary technician - I'm essentially an animal nurse, etc etc.

If you have any kitty questions, just let me know!

Black Hawk Down

Stephen, my fiance, wont watch it, because he was there. He has a lot of unresolved issues about Somalia.

Really? Who was he there with? Ryan - housemate - was with the US Army Rangers.

RAAF. He does not talk about it much. His best friend was killed over there. And other stuff I cannot talk about.

Everything on the list was unnecessary except for the litter, which is needed more for you than for the cat. The cat eventually would find someplace to go regardless.

All a kitten really needs is a curtain or long skirt to climb and anything to eat.

I've had 8 cats in the last 20+ years, and I don't think I'll ever be ready for another kitten. Right now we have two pathetically lazy adult cats.
