Friday Follow Ups

This was my first attempt to wind with my new Nostepinne. I made one error. I let the yarn slip into the little nook near the handle..and now the yarn ball is stuck. Ahhh learning curves.
I love the way the Nostepinne feels in my hands however. I'll get it.

My deaf cat Radar, in kidney failure, is pulling his hair out. It is pitiful to watch. We've tried Benadryl, Feliway calming spray and finally xanax this morning. The xanax worked . It was very distressing to watch him pull his hair out over and over again. I don't know how this is all going to shake out...Keep him in your thoughts, and prayers if you wish.

The little foster momma kitty ended up delivering 3 stillborn at my house. She had to have surgery to get the other 5 kittens out and they were too small to survive. She lost all 8. She suffered I felt, quite a bit. I have the hardest time with people not spaying and neutering their pets. She is still not feeling well and we are hoping she turns the right corner soon. SHe was the dearest little thing. Through all her suffering she never hissed or spit or gnarled or bit. If anyone in my area wants a truly remarkable very young cat, she'd be great.

The foster cats never interact with my cats. They are on a separate floor in a contained room far away from our pride. THis keeps everyone calm... Lest you think Radar was upset about momma cat. He never even saw or smelled her..

So, Mother Nature did what was best. We'll foster again in a bit, that was kind of exhausting.

Its raining cats and dogs outside today......and we need it !
