Carrot was super needy today. He spent most of the time snuggling on my lap while I was working from home today. Now he is sitting on the arm of my chair.

I think he's feeling sick. He doesn't really seem quite himself today.Is a storm maybe heading your way?
Look for "diabetic socks." So many of us have poor circulation in our legs that they make looser socks especially for us.I need wide topped socks-most are for skinny people..my ankles are too big for even sandals.
Yep! That sounds about right.Think the box that a bottle of ibuprofen fits in, and I'm not talking econo-size. Maybe 2"x2"x3". The cat put his foot in it, pulled his foot out, stuck his nose in, lifted his head, and then put his foot back into it and lay down on top of it.
I put one up last year "My All-Black Foster Cat Needs a New Home". I got a few responses all saying the same thing, either too far away or have too many cats already, that sort of thing. I also had posted quite a few pic which are still there. Lately Patrick has reverted a bit to his previous scaredy cat persona although not quite as much. He would make a good only cat or a home with a kitten, he does get along with other cats. I had him on my facebook page, no result at all.Maybe you could start a separate thread in the SOS forum about this? More people would probably see it.
I'm sure we have many more members now please post on SOS site again and on the black cat thread too.I put one up last year "My All-Black Foster Cat Needs a New Home".

How is Carrot doing?I think he's feeling sick. He doesn't really seem quite himself today.
Sounds hilarious. What's the name of the video?There was more to the video that I didn't see at first, it started over for some reason when I was viewing it alone and I saw the full video when showing it to my husband. After the cat got settled (paw tucked under) with the teeny box the owner put down a bigger box. The cat jumped right up and got into that, though it turned out to be just a little tight.
He's doing a lot better. He was looking scruffy and not so great yesterday, but today he's shiny, smooth, and a lot more active.How is Carrot doing?
Spot was the same last night. I hope you're doing better than I did at work last night.Carrot was super needy today. He spent most of the time snuggling on my lap while I was working from home today. Now he is sitting on the arm of my chair.
I don't think Facebook is a good place to find adopters for cats. When we were still trying to get the kittens adopted out, IB put out pics of them on Facebook and an elderly woman decided she wanted to adopt the two boys. She lived a state over, drove down, got chest pains on the way, pulled into a hospital ER where they found a heart blockage--and then she put it to her entire Facebook Circle (or whatever Facebook calls people who are linked) that our cats were cursed and adopting them was tantamount to committing suicide. All I can say is good luck!I put one up last year "My All-Black Foster Cat Needs a New Home".

Maybe they knew you could handle it and your coworker couldn't. (Maybe.) I hope today is better for you than yesterday was.So today was just one of those sucky work days. I don't quite remember how I phrased it, but I said loudly "Thank god this day is over" or something like that.
The phone system broke somehow and the last few calls were pinging the overhead bell over and over and over since we couldn't pick up. I could take it off overhead for future calls, but that meant my relief was going to have to stay very close to the base, and you can't really work staying that close.
I didn't get anything done to completion. The tables I made perfect in the morning were trashed all to heck when I left. I only finished 3 of 5 baskets full of new product to put out. I maybe got ⅔ of existing product (returns, fitting room rejects, stuff found elsewhere) I sorted and hung put back on the floor. I had half a shopping cart of stuff not sorted. I was supposed to tag or salvage out part of the backlog, didn't get to more than two items.
And I got a mild fussing out for something I didn't even do. A coworker and I were at the fitting room together, she was closer to the actual rooms. Two women with a baby in a stroller came up, she started checking them in, so I didn't get involved. After all, she knows what's she's doing, she's experienced, and I don't want it to seem that I don't think she knows what she's doing, nor do I want the customers to think that. She put them in the same room, and very shortly after I got a radio call from Assets Protection (watching the cameras) telling me to watch for hand baskets and not let them in rooms, since those two women took one in full of cosmetics and he was sure they were hiding them. Me? She was the one to check them in. She could hear my radio and yet when I asked if they had a basket she said no, she didn't think so. I asked how many clothes they had, and all she was sure of was at least 10. Hard to do an accurate count out when you aren't sure what went in.
Thank goodness some thieves are easily intimidated. The one not pushing the stroller came out first...with a hand basket. She partially lifted the clothes out so I could count, I pretended to get flustered with the count and lifted them fully out, and only a cosmetics brush was in there. With my best Mom look I said "Didn't you have a lot of cosmetics going in?" She stumbled over her words when saying no, then she walked back into the room. When they came out, together, the one not pushing the stroller had a lot of cosmetics in her hands. And with all that, they forgot the basket and the cosmetics brush when they left. AP thanked me when they were just out of earshot.
If she had not been rattled, if she had said no and stuck with it, I couldn't have done anything more. AP probably could have, since they clearly had tape, and they were actually there which made a physical apprehension possible (AP isn't always on the clock). But I imagine that is always risky, especially with a baby in the middle of it. So they were probably very, very happy I rattled the women to the point they gave up trying to steal the cosmetics.
