No TV, Just Life: Cat Plants

While Mewthos and Ziva had settled themselves in the lounge, Lady Jane came to bed for an intensive cuddle session! She is so … needy! Sigh, it’s very sweet but a little exasperating as well.

I slept ok, though I was up a couple of times. Mewthos had waited long enough and made sure I got up around seven. Also in time for shopping. Sigh.

I’m trying to get some morning-alone time, on the one seat where I should be left alone. Yeah. Nope. Mewthos has other ideas. He will not take no for an answer and eventually climbs on top of my magazine! I have the three most cuddle-demanding cats in the universe!

I have some trouble convincing Lady Jane to stay inside, so I can get the monthly macro groceries. I got lucky, they had the correct cat food at lower prices, so I got another 3x kitty and 2x adult bags. I also bought a bulk of mixed fish sachets – though unfortunately in jelly. They didn’t have ‘In Gravy’. It’ll have to do.

Next I get to Sunridge Spar – a lot nicer than Newton. They have a nice variety of fruit and veg salads, so I get three. I also decide to treat myself to a smoothie and a Boboti Vetkoek. I’ll give one of their breads a try, see how that compares. On a whim I also select two flowery stick-on gift bows for the scratcher – I wonder if Lady Jane will like it?

And then I treat myself to some Biltong. Back at home it’s three trips carrying everything from the car up the stairs! I’m leaving the door shut until I’m done at the car – don’t want Mips to get the idea that it’s safe to play in the road! While I’m carrying in the perishables Ziva gets started opening the kitten food! Seriously!?! There’s a whole dispenser full with the exact same food, yet here she is doing her best to bite through the bag! Sigh!

I have some trouble putting the cat food away – well, with three cats watching my every move, climbing into the pantry, trying to help. And, of course, there’s not much space since I bought plenty last week as well, though at a higher price. Now I’m stocked for, oh, I’d say a month? Sigh, I sure hope so!

Oh, and I’m now trying Bob Martin Clear on the kittens! I can’t believe they are full of fleas, yet again! It’ll get better in winter, I hope. It’s really frustrating after all the products I’ve empties on their necks and they’re still suffering!

Hmm, I know I’m famous for scattering seeds arbitrarily, then wondering what will grow from them – but cats? I don’t remember ever having cat-seeds? Ai, ai! What next?
