went for a swim tonight to cool off and get a bit of exercise. it was peaceful out in the ccol water, with nobody else around. gave kitty a little bath when i got back into the sauna-like apartment. kitty ended up giving me a bath. he "hugged" me like fuzz on velcro after he got sopping wet. he was not really in a bath sort of mood. but i bet he is cool and refreshed now. kitty just bit my foot in appreciation. ah, the joy of pets. he's busy re-bathing himself to show he can do it better than any human ever could.
i have been doing lots of research about kitties. i tried the raw meat diet for him this morning. he looked at me like i was crazy and walked away from the ground turkey. i guess i will have to cook it for him and see if he will eat it. the thing is, most cat foods are full of stuff they don't really need. what cats in the wild would eat corn meal or ash? grains are generally the main ingredient in commercial foods. and i read that they can even be moldy or otherwise unfit for human consumption,
but it is still legal to put them in pet foods.
i did teach kitty to use the toilet. there is no more litter box in my home. he goes
in a mixing bowl that sits in the toilet bowl. i just dump it out and flush. sounds icky but less so than cleaning a litter box all the time. the next step is when i take out the mixing bowl and hope he keeps using the toidy. not sure how that will go over, though.
sounds fun, writing about your kitty at 10 pm, eh? i really need some hobbies. i am taking a portuguese class tomorrow. the teacher is brazilian and she is very intelligent and well read, and we talk about interesting subjects.
well, i should be off to bed so i can get up and serve "the man" again tomorrow. did i tell you my head boss is dubya? well, i am not that proud of it, so i usually don't mention it. i am hoping to just serve the man part time and do other things to occupy my mind and pad my checking account - i will be talking to my supervisor about this soon. wish me luck...
