Dear Cat

[westtexas]

Psst...gluten intolerance? Had a cat that pulled out her hair. Turned out she was gluten intolerant and the hair pulling was a pain reaction. Put her on a gluten-free diet and she's got fur, she's active and I think some days the princess costs more to feed than me.

Well, maybe, but Theo's been on a grain-free diet since I got him 3 years ago. He only has done it when other cats have lived with us, but this time it's worse than usual. I think the move, coupled with weird apartment noises (we used to live in a very quiet, secluded neighborhood), a new kitty in our lives, and all the travelling I have been doing lately has him really stressed out. He's my sweet, sensitive boy. Amitryptilline seems to do the trick though!

dear tuxie and miss ike

Just once could I please brush my teeth and wash my face at night without having to move a kitty butt out of each sink, repeatedly?

Miss Ike,

today I found 50, yes I did count them, of your milk rings under the Welsh Cupboard in the bedroom. I thought you were looking a bit deprived. I am going to time how many days it takes you to fish them individually out of the drawer and hide them.

Tuxie,

Yes baby, I know that my hot sweaty exercise clothes and biking cloths are dirty and need washing. I do not need you leaping into the laundry basket,fishing out the items individually and strewing them along the hallway to the kitchen and laundry room while I am asleep. Honest.

thank you both sweeties,

your caregiver.
