Cats: It’s Saturday Night! — 2 Comments

  1. Oh, boy. You know, it is hard enough keeping up with one cat–how in the world do you manage nine?
    Bridget had a couple of hard weeks. Something big tried to bite her in two. The skin wasn’t broken, but she was stiff, sore, and stand-offish for a few days. She’s doing better now, thank goodness!
    We try hard to make sure she’s in the garage before we go to bed, but with so many of us coming and going (oldest granddaughter gets home from work around 2330), it’s hard to keep her inside when she wants to be outside.
    Even so, whatever got her, it happened in the daytime. Dogs don’t run loose around here, and our dogs walk a wide circle around Miss Bridget, who was full-grown and fully armed (teeth and claws) when the dogs were puppies. Bridget is small, around 11 pounds at her plumpest, so I’m not discounting birds of prey.
    You guys have the greatest patience. I know your kitties appreciate it.

    • Poor, Bridget! I’m so happy you didn’t have an unhappy ending to that story. I wouldn’t discount a bird of prey either.

      We do frequent “cat counts” to make sure we’re not missing anyone for too long of a time. We try to make sure we’ve seen everyone at least once a day so nobody gets closed in a space for too long of a time.
