Shiny After Hours Chat

[AngeNZ]

I got the diagnosis that something was showing up IN August, but it was too small to diagnose and the DR was pretty calm about it. I then decided to keep Cheddar in Sept. thinking I was well and not giving it much more thought. The virus and isolating was a factor because I live alone and it can be brutal on mental health so I needed something to cheer me up. I have made plans for Cheddar to be boarded at the Rescue that supported my efforts with the wild cats I caught and socialized over the summer. She has moved and now has two free roam rooms and she will keep Cheddar for me while I am in the hospital and maybe for a few days after I come home. Cheddar is still not free-roaming in my home 24/7 because it is not really kitten proof and I am worried about what she will get into while I am asleep. She goes in her 'room" (cage) at night, with a teaspoon of baby food for a treat.

I'm glad you have a Cheddar minder for when you need it.

And I agree 500% that having an animal improves your mental health and general well-being. Especially when they are as crazy, adorable and loving as the fur babies we all are lucky enough to have

Cheddar is a beauty, and I’m glad you have such excellent company. Sometimes I think how hard it is to live alone, but when you hear how much others are struggling being cooped up with their human companions, I think well maybe this isn’t so bad lol.

I think the key is keeping busy, distracted. Most of my family have hobbies and are holding up pretty well. My one sister-in-law has anxiety all the time and this is about sending her over the edge - the one I make juice for.

She tested positive two weeks ago and was pretty sick. Her BF, adult daughter, daughter’s BF, and her son have all tested positive. BF has no symptoms at all. He wouldn’t have ever known he was sick, except that he got tested because she got sick.

He works in heating and air. He was in and out of people’s houses every day.

Did he wear a mask?

Georgia! Haven't seen her in forever. I have missed her a lot.

 

[DeloresRose]

Did he wear a mask?

He had to, because of local mandates. His boss wouldn’t have made him, and he thinks it’s stupid (or used to, now he’s changed his tune) but the customers don’t always. There’s a lot of push-back against all of this here, masks, lockdown, distancing... but they think he didn’t catch it from work, they think she caught it from one of her kids.

Merry Christmas Chatter's and to all your critters!

A morning like all others

Daphne is such a wonderful girl. And they both look very festive with their Christmas bows.

@Ricky Vapes, how is Grumpy doing?

 

[Zazie]

 

[Zazie]

It looks he's skating on water.

Some fun stuff I’ve been working on. Bernie is taking the viral mittens with good humor, which makes the whole thing all the more epic, imho. Because I don’t think anyone means it in a mean spirited way. I surely don’t.

@NolaMel I keep forgetting to ask you, does Catdog do this?

Whenever Luna wants petting while I'm doing stuff around the house - she flops down in front of my feet, rolls on her back and waits patiently. It is just like what a dog does

Yes! Usually right where she can be tripped over. I told Himself I fear she’s plotting my demise
Doodlebug (the very large lapdog ) does a tuck and roll onto your lap, then edges over til he can get mostly on you. Himself had the recliner back , so that helped
