I woke up during load shedding, there was a mighty thunderstorm - two thunders really loud, scared even me half asleep in bed. After that, I didn't expect the power to come on ... so I was delighted when it did! Put on a pot of coffee ... and then the power went off! Around twenty past six ... well, at least my coffee had finished.
I decided to shut Lady Sybill in her room for the day - mippies are still growling and hissing at her. It's going on her nerves, I can tell. She's sweet natured and loving - and doesn't understand why she's being growled at. I fear I may loose her to her kin, if my lot don't get a grip. Though 'loose' is not really true, as she won't be leaving ... she'll stay nearby.
I've been wondering whether I can turn the Wendy into a cat house? Make more beds, some on poles, scratch posts, etc. At the same time, would that be fair to mine? Ai, ai. Cat-astrophies, indeed!
At work, I reported the power outage. Only two other reference numbers are reported. Nobody in my neighbourhood is reporting ... oh, one of the guys sent a whatsapp to the Electricity Group, but that doesn't count.
Half past ten I get a call from the electrician, asking whether our power is back on ... my smartphone is charging, so I have to check messages ... yes! It came on around twenty past ten! Not bad, considering how few people reported!
Ordered fruit juice.
Two cats on my mind. First, Smeagol's girlfriend. It bothers me that our last interaction was me tossing her into the carrier, then driving her to the vet - in silence, as I was worried. I never even said goodbye to her!
Second: Lady Sybill. One of the symptoms mentioned to watch out for was a runny nose - Sybill's nose is wet. And her eyes are red rimmed ... though that's pretty much constant. Now I don't know. On the one hand, I want my lot to accept her - but on the other hand, I don't want to expose them to a fatal disease? She was tested, when I first took her to the vet ... but what now?
I just don't know what to do. I can't really take more time off work for cats. I wonder whether the vet is open on Saturday? Middle of the Easter weekend ...
I messaged the cat lady, she suggested some meds ... I hope the vet is open Saturday, because I'd really feel much better if I could have her checked out.
Load shedding tonight from eight to ten again ... better publish now ...
