I need to add a section onto my page about fostering that covers noise levels....
ok, sleeping through kittens playing incessently with jingling balls and rattling toys on the bed next to your ears I mastered.
sleeping through kitties needing to tell you how much they love you by rubbing all over your face at 4am I am working on, but go back to sleep quickly
sleeping through kitties nursing on my nose....no, it still wakes me up and I have to hide under the covers esp when the kitties are over a year and want to knead on my face
sleeping through the scent of coccidea...that took some doing but I learned it.
sleeping through the yowls of a female in heat...ok, got that too
however last night reached new levels.
I brought home Cassiel, a recenlty trapped adult TOM with a very sore paw. He is on meds, but I wanted to keep an eye on him so I brought him home from the shelter. He is in my bathroom.
I've had Toms before, but he is by far the SMELLIEST Tom I've had inside. Ok, I can deal. lots of litter changing, using expensive litter and the cat odor neutralizer spray.
He is friendly.
He is lonely.
YOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWLLLL
oh dear.... the female upstairs in the foster room heard him
and so she answers
YOOOOOWWWWWWWWEEELLLLL
and he answers
and she answers
and Valentine gets on the turbo scratcher...whirrrrrwhiirrrrwhirrrrr
and somehow, I get to sleep.
I think Fireball will be getting spayed ASAP even tho no one has inquired about her yet just to save my sanity.
sorry, no picts of Cassiel yet.
