Wednesday

Not a good night. Caterwauling kept waking me up throughout the night. Turns out the neighbours cat came back. I found him outside my bedroom window when I opened the curtains. 

Beautiful  cat, isn't he? Also a very noisy one ...

Aaaand load shedding Stage 2 implemented tonight and tomorrow night. We get lucky this time: no effect!

When I placed the order yesterday, two items were out-of-stock, so I was asked to either pay a few bob extra to still receive them or delete them off my order. No other option available. I was not impressed. Now, I just found mail in my inbox, asking me to repeat what I had already stated: NO, I do not want a refund, I want my items! This time, the option, if I still want them, the whole order will be delayed. Sheez! What did I pay the extra bob for? The additional admin required to harass me in the hope that I'll cancel those items?

I'm now eyeing a butter dish - first one I've found that fits a standard block of butter! For some strange reason, all butter dishes fit only 250gr butter, but nobody sells 250gr butter, every store sells butter only in 500gr blocks. One of those weird things in today's market ...

At the same time, I really shouldn't be spending more money ... 

Mippies food arrived! Their wet pouches. Happy mippies, ha ha ha!

I can't stop thinking about poor Smeagol, though. I had such a strong feeling that he wanted me to take him to a vet last night ... but he won't even let me touch him much, let alone pick him up?

Well, his eye looks much better today! But I think he has injured his jaw. He seems to struggle to chew, and he turned to pick up the food with his left side. I gave him a pouch of Royal Canin. He usually barely eats half a pouch, today he finished the first pouch. Then went and sat in his box, so I brought him another pouch - which he also ate. He didn't quite finish the second pouch, but I brought him a third one. Just so he has something to eat later.

I brought in my mippies, fed them ... then the neighbours cat sat on the veranda and all my mippies glared at him through the front door - Smeagol had come outside and sat near the veranda, so I went out and gave him some attention. He clearly craved it. Poor bastard is as thin as a rack - I can feel his back bones worse than ever! Glad that I gave him plenty of pouches. I'll keep feeding him wet food as long as he still eats it. Normally, he seems to prefer the kibbles ...

Anyway ... oh, great! Ziva just threw up on my bed! Sigh ... while I'm trying to enjoy my dinner ...

Then, while I'm trying to re-fill my food bowl, Mewthos has a fit of 'I'm a weirdo!' Goes and gets on top of the cupboard over their food counter! Yes, right under the ceiling! And he can't get down there - he needs my back to jump down.

Janey seems to have something wrong with her eye - not serious, just seems to be gunking up a little every day.

Well, I've had a lovely hot bath ... attended by Ziva, Janey and Mini. Mewthos needed plenty of pick-up cuddles earlier, then he went and snuggled in one of his tiny boxes ... with his arse hanging out for me to scratch! Ha Ha!

That's it for the day ...
