Cat Update and Appointments

 Got the spaying appointment set up for about 3 weeks from now. Got the voucher that says we get her spayed for a cheaper price which has already been paid.  

N3’s cat has been so loving!  She lays on my lap, kneading her paws and purring.  I put a blanket over my lap because her claws are curved needles!  I think I’m going to trim Ariel’s nails.  Can’t decide whether I want to get her a scratching cat tree or just a corrugated scratching box like N3 has.  I’ll have to ask which kind Ariel is used to.

I have several appointments coming up.  One is an ultrasound- no I’m NOT pregnant!- and another is a voice therapy session.  I have to think of a song to sing!  My mind has drawn a complete blank!

Saw my cat today!

 I went to see my cat today!  She was pretty friendly for just having met me.  She let me hold her on her back I my arms.  We talked for ever about all things cats and children including her husband’s 17-year-old  niece who used to own the cat amongst other people.  She thinks someone abused her along the line but she seemed like a loving cat anyway.  She likes t sit behind your head when you’re sitting on the couch.  We talked about getting her spayed and she signed her up with my info for a program that offers low-cost spaying and neutering but SHE paid for it.  Now I have to wait for an email from the spaying funding people then we can schedule it.  She says she’ll even drive to the clinic which is nearer to me than to her.  

Here’s a pic of her from today.

Getting a Furry Friend!

 It’s 99% official!  I’m getting my own cat!  I haven’t had my own pets since I had two Figure 8 puffer fish twelve years ago.  I’ve been periodically cat-sitting my youngest child’s cat for a year now.  I’ve got her right now until he and his girlfriend get back from vacation.  My mom and I are going to visit the new  cat and my mom’s friend (the owner) tomorrow.  Since I have the other cat right now, I don’t want to have both at once - hence I have to wait a little bit.  I’ve got a photo of her.  I think she’s two years old.  I’ll find out tomorrow, including what type of food they feed her, etc.  I have to get her spayed and her shots as it seems that she’s had little to no vet care.  I hope she doesn’t have FIV.  

I’m so happy!!

Libera - a Boy Choir

 I love this group!  They’re called Libera and the boys are from England.  Their sound is easy, fresh, and sweet.  The soloist here obviously loves to sing- as I’m sure all the boys in the group do.  The ensemble is almost always changing as voices change and parts shift from top soprano to second soprano and even into tenor and bass.  (The age range of the boys is 7 to 16.). 

Check out their YouTube channel and their webpage in the video below.  

Enjoy!

Sometimes I’m alone - Singing Cat

 Here are three minutes of mellow enjoyment!  It’s The Kiffness again, this time a lonely kitty with (human) vocal and instrumental back up.  Particularly of interest is how clearly he enunciates as he sings- especially the word “Hello?”, at the end of the refrain.  It’s as cute as it is soothing.  Enjoy!
