To all you mothers (and I mean that in the nicest way) out there:
Happy Mother's Day!
Neither Kevin's nor my mother live nearby, although both live within driving distance. I'll see my mom soon when I drive up to CT to bring her cat, Buddy, to the vet. Buddy has been exhibiting the same crass habit (inappropriate urination) as our Edison. I brought him to the vet a few weeks ago. The vet ran blood tests, which looked okay. They wanted to run urine tests, but he didn't have a full enough bladder for them to do a stick. Odd that, for a cat that manages to have plenty of urine for marking various pieces of furniture and inconvenient spots throughout the house. And my mom won't do the lock-up-the-cat-with-an-almost-empty-litter-box trick for getting a urine sample out of him bc, quite frankly, she's a wussss with a capital WUSSSS. Buddy was gone for an hour when he went to the vet recently, but she puts snacks and toys in his carrier for him and worried herself sick about him worrying himself sick. Hey, nobody gave me snacks and toys on the way to the doctor! WTF's up with that? Anyway, I'll drop Buddy off at the vet around 8:30 AM so he can sit there until he has to pee. If he doesn't pee on his own, he'll be knocked out for a dentistry, so they can do a stick then if necessary.
Dropping Buddy off at the vet in CT at 8:30 in the freaking morning requires that I leave here around six freaking thirty in the morning. Longtime readers will know that I am most assuredly not a morning person. It's been a big deal for me to stick to a new wake up time of 8:00 AM. Crankypants alert.
We're also going to visit Kevin's parents soon. We'll celebrate Mother's Day and his mother, Fern's, birthday. Not only are we going, but Miles and Lizzie are coming along with us. Road trip! Kevin's parents, Jack and Fern, have a cat named Misty. She was a stray cat that had had a couple of litters when Jack and Fern trapped and spayed her. Miles and Lizzie are her kittens. So we'll have a feline Mother's Day celebration, too. I don't expect the kittens to remember Misty or vice versa, but the kittens are pretty easy going and seem to like other cats, and Misty seemed pretty easy going, too, so I think they'll get along. Besides, they have so much in common! Wouldn't you know, they all enjoy catnip.
Of course, the reunion will be photographed and blogged.
Happy Very First Mother's Day to Karen, Kevin's sister, mother of Kristen.
And Happy Mother's Day Anew to Marianne, my SIL, who just this past Thursday gave birth to our seventh niece, Sofia. Labor was short (one hour!), but intense in inverse proportion. Sofia weighed 6.5 lb. and measured 19", the exact same weight and measurement as her older sister, Gabi. As soon as I get pictures of this newest delectable morsel, I will post them for all the world to see.
