I worry about her not having meds on board. But she spent a good amount of time this morning head-banging with me. Kitty mosh pit. She brushes her face against mine. She’s sitting in my lap and seems to be doing alright.
Betty had a small hairball this morning. It came right after I gave her medicine. To be fair, she was already licking her lips when I caught up to her for her medicine. I’m not sure if she retained any. The hairball was a small thumb-sized tube. No residue. Lifted right up. Follow on spit was...
Betty just gets a couple of pieces of Hills I/D dry food cut up in a spare pill cutter. These four half pieces each get a drop of hemp oil. Then I grind up three more pieces in the herb grinder and put that over those half pieces. I restrict how many dry pieces she gets because she's already a...
I guess it would depend on the cat.
My last cat, Krista (over there in the avatar), had IBD and eventually lymphoma. Chicken was one of her triggers and FortiFlora had enough of it (hydrolyzed or not) to trigger her.
My current cat, Betty, has had appetite and nausea issues before. She...
She's got her summer belly warming up. Meals are disappearing faster and earlier.

Same conclusion I came to. I'd rather change a bag than wash all those parts and filters. I pulled out the roller and cleaned it for the first time today. Easy peasy!
I put out a half portion at midnight and she never came to claim it. I guess she spent the whole night in the office. She finished breakfast in record time too. She ate that when I rolled her off of me at 6am. She usually doesn’t start in on breakfast until 7 much less finish it in one go. I...
She recovered. She demolished dinner in record time. Clean plate at 6pm. She’s usually not starting until 7. I’m going to hold off her second dinner as long as I can. And I will likely keep an extra half portion set aside for when I get up in the middle of the night. That way if she eats her way...
Poor Betty!
She just had a couple of acid spits. I think I should have sneaked her a half portion a lot earlier this afternoon. She finished breakfast really early, like 8 am this morning. She tore into lunch and promptly gave it back around noon. So it's been almost twelve hours since the last...
Right?! She's so talented, so relatable, so humble (if you watch her interviews), and hilarious! She's so easy to root for.
Okay, here's another from what's become my favorite album. This is another from the "folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions". They gathered together in upstate NY months...
I used to think I was a bagless fan. But those bagless cannisters are so messy. I don't know about others. But the spring-loaded Dyson cannisters ALWAYS result in a cloud of dirt and dust. I almost always have to reach inside of them to pull what's stuck and not dropping out on its own.
The...
You know, I didn't even think of picking up the plate this morning after Betty's hairball. It seemed so effortless and she seemed so relieved afterwards rather than the moaning that usually precedes these. She hit up breakfast before I woke from third sleep and she was done with second pass by...
I haven’t been using the laser. It is visually loud like a little blinking rave light show. It was distracting for both of us. And you have to hold it in a single spot for 15 minutes. Betty probably would have been okay with it except for the blinking. There are more expensive devices that can...
A little 5 am excitement. We got through the meds taking with no issues. Then as she’s laying on my shoulder and chest getting ready for third sleep, she gets the lip licking going. Uh oh. She jumped down and brought up a hairball. Confirmed hairball. Nothing to pick through. Also came up rather...
That was Kanye West who interrupted her MTV VMA award acceptance speech to tell everyone that he thought Beyonce should have won the award. She was just a teenager (19) at the time. Several years later, he released a song that disrespected her saying, "I think me and Taylor could still have sex...
One more (which is really four more.). Her NPR Tiny Desk concert which showcases her songwriting and her ability to bring her songs to life on a single instrument. ”Death By A Thousand Cuts” is one of my tippy top favorites of hers. I love that bridge! ”The Man“ is always fun. And “All Too Well”...
Here’s the other one. I couldn’t decide on the lyric video or the Eras Tour video or … But I just love this stripped down Long Pond Studio Session version. She and her writer/collaborators gathered in upstate New York to perform this album that they wrote/recorded/produced remotely during the...
She
Well there’s this one off the new album titled The Bolter
This reminds me of another song she did on the folklore album (Last Great American Dynasty) where she tells a story that’s both not about her and all about her. She’s truly a genius at songwriting and storytelling.
Yesterday afternoon, Betty dropped a single. Then a couple of B-sides. Then she had a spirited release party. She zoomed across the apartment with a zip in her step. You might even say she was swift. She had a Swiftie Release Party!
The best part about being a cat dad is that the dad jokes...
There aren't many things Betty won't let me do to/for her. Nail trims and putting pills in her mouth. Those are her red lines. I wouldn't say she exactly loves taking her liquid medicine. But she doesn't put up much effort to hide or get away from me either. Many times I can herd her into the...
