Aww, thanks Eric, I appreciate that.
I certainly will! I bet the kitties are growing by leaps & bounds!

She may not be flopping to be difficult. Some cats react to a harness or clothing or swaddling with a condition called freeze and fall. They just topple over and can't move. It's like a fainting goat. Some get over it and some don't. Be patient with her. She may not be able to help it.LOL! Thanks guys. YES, LOT'S of stuff!!
But..I've thrown a lot away as well as taken quite a few trips to good will. I just went through my little shed & have another med box ready to take there.
dustydiamond1 , at least Gypsy is walking on her leash & going about. Sammie just lays there, like "why is this thing on me, & why are you trying to follow me?!"
She'll take about 3-4 steps or walk about a foot, then lay down again. She's mad her independence has been taken away.
I even brought her in some grass from where she likes to eat it, since she hasn't been interested in the cat grass lately. I'll start her some more when we get settled.
She's been munching on it, so I brought her in some more just now.
We had a little"incident" this morning. We were just at the bottom of the steps & my neighbor was out w/ their dog, she's a small cutie, long & short likely a Dotson, but long wirery golden hair like a terrier, so I think she must be a mix of the two. Anyway, she loves to run over & say hi to me, so I saw her coming & picked up Sammie. She was ok until I started up the stairs & she followed. Well Sammie freaked out, trying to get away, & scratched the side of my face & ear good, so I instinctually dropped her & she went up a couple more steps hissing, rearing back, then I picked her up & brought her in, she ran under the bed, leash & all, & I felt blood dripping down my face!
I got cleaned up, & thank goodness she didn't actually scratch me, but we're just punctures. About 3 on the side if my face as well as one just in the hairline by my ear & the worst was a scratch to my ear. That one bled the longest. Being on daily low dose asprin doesn't help w/ bleeding. I managed to pull her our from under the bed after giving her a few minutes to calm down, & I gave her a gabapentin! I am cutting those nails today!! I've needed to, but she won't let me, so hopefully now I can.
So, needless to say, after how much I've been doing, I am done for the day!! I need to rest. Especially my low back. I have to work tomorrow...

I take a picture on my android, email it to myself then get on my chromebook or laptop, open the email and download the attachment (the photo) to a file so I can click 'upload a file' here on TCS, find it in the chrombook file, highlite it, click 'save' to put it on here.Thanks guys! Yes, I am so proud of her, & tell her so.
When she does venture out, I say she's going on one of her little "walk about's."
Yes, my parents like her. My dad doesn't understand , asked me why she stays cooped up in the room all day, & I told him how well she's actually doing in a little over a weeks time. That some kitties would still be only under the bed. She's eating, peeing & pooping, & even exploring a tiny bit. That's huge for a kitty in such a short time. It's her safe space for now.
I am so pleasantly surprised. All this from a sassy little girl who HAD to have her time outside before, since she came from the neighborhood we were in. I'm ecstatic she's not crying to go out, or trying to escape!! I never thought this was going to be possible w/her!
It's so weird, in my last post above, I did attach a picture, & saw it once, but don't see it now..... Weird! Don't know if it's the site? Anyone else have this happen? ...Or, my parents internet. They have at&t, & so far...I hate it! I think they have the lowest speed there is! My dad had to even order something special to attach to the side of the tv (they have dish) so I could get my Hulu & Netflix. But....tried it for the first time last night, & it pauses a LOT, wheel spinning saying ....loading. When I had Spectrum, I never had to do anything special. I had internet, & my tv is a smart tv, so it just streamed those things, no problem. Nothing special to do...
SO, I think they need a better speed, whatever the next one up is. I told my dad I would pay the difference for it, because it's diving me CRAZY! The other day when I was loading those pictures of Sammie, what should have taken a few minutes took 35-45 minutes!! I have to load pictures from my phone, because I have an old used MacBook Pro a client handed down to me, & my phone is an android, so it's not compatible, It won't work w/ my Usb cord to try to transfer picts from my phone to the Mac. When I do buy another laptop, it won't be an Apple! ......So annoying.
.....Sorry, venting a little here.
So anyway, I'll have to get back on here w/ my phone, & try to post pictures again. She was so cute today. She was up on her "perch" atop the tree & she was dosing w/ her face against the window.
.....Ok, NOW I see the picture. After all of that. LOL! It must just be taking forever to fully load on this internet!
