Ping Marina - everything OK??

Is everything OK?? You haven't posted since Oct. 5, for over a week now.
I have a huge responsibility in upholding the Finnish representation on
the NG...
I hope things are OK on your end, and purrs from Laku to make them OK if
they're not.

Busy is fine, but we miss you, Caliban and Mirmir! So pop by and say
hi and let us know all is okay.

Just having a hard time dealing with some medical issues (nothing new,
nothing immediately life-threatening, I've had 38 years to get used to
the possibility of them) and not able to deal with the medical issues of
others, as well. I used to come to rpca for relief from RL but it seems
to have taken over here, too.

Thank Laku for his purrs. Any funny stories about him in your back
pocket? With the cool mornings, Mir and Caliban are having wild zoomies
each morning after I open the door to the enclosure, and then they both
want to come cuddle in Meowmie's lap to warm their icy toes. They're
such a comfort, I don't know what I'd do without them.

Dunno if it's such a cool story, more maybe an uncool one... But he's
attempting to teach me when his litterbox is due for cleaning. He's been
taking dumps on the floor in the loo occasionally, on the bare floor,
mind you, as he's scooted the mat to the side first. And I've been angry
with him when he's done it, but also then noticed that there's been a
strong whiff of Eau de Pee in the box too, so he's apparently thought
that it's been too dirty for him to poop there.
Well then, when I clean the litterbox, I move the loo mat aside and pull
the box towards me to scoop up the sawdust from the bottom container - I
use wood pellets and a double litterbox. Now he has taken to giving me
"a warning" by scooting the mat to the side and not pooping on the
floor, as if saying "if you don't clean my box, this is where I'll
poop!!". One cannot but admire his patience with this dim-witted
hoomin...

Purrs for you to feel better, or at least, to adjust to living with new
developments in your medical issues. I'm glad that your two clowns help
to make life more bearable!

Aww, but actually, it's very considerate of him to move the mat out of
the way. If he's going to go outside the box, better to do it on a bare
floor, right? And better poop than pee.

Yes, with chronic conditions, it's a matter of adjusting, no prospect of
improvement.

My two clowns are wonderful, and yesterday I met a very nice doggie. My
manager brought her dog to work. I visited her office a couple of times.
The first time I scritched the doggie like I would a cat - I've always
been a cat person, and don't really know how to pet dogs. But the dog
apparently liked the scritches, because when I went back later, he very
politely came up and stood beside my hand and waited for more scritches.
Then he went over to my other hand for a little scritchie from that
side. Such a nice doggie. When I came home, Caliban spent a veeeeery
long time sniffing my hands.

Too smart for his own good sometimes...
