blamebrampton | Happy Birthdays and cat update

A very happy birthday to

i_autumnheart, who are both nearly at the day after, but the phone was used! Fingers crossed life will calm down enough for the three of us to catch up in person before too long. Easter, I suppose.

Happy birthday also to

celandineb who is such a force for good, I hope that the silly things that are plaguing you will stop soon and

under_an_oak, who wages a glorious battle against faceless corporatism, with style and wit. I hope you have both been visited by the present fairy. Happy birthday for tomorrow to

aoifene, you're lovely, but you know that.

OK, that's enough about people whose parents were frisky in June.

Saw Min this evening, she was mildly interested to see us, which changed to fairly interested when we pulled the tins of pink salmon from my handbag. She'd not been eating today, probably because they offered her cat food. After hoovering most of one tin, she looked up at us with an expression of mild satisfaction. The vet laughed a lot. We explained that when she was feral she lived on rats and scraps from the Thai restaurant and was fed tidbits by the posh restaurant crew.

She seemed in reasonable nick, if quiet and grumpy. She hates her drip, but may well lose it tomorrow if she keeps eating and drinking. And then it looks like chemo on Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Then we were trapped in a traffic jam on the North Shore, where people cannot manage a simple merge to the point they cause accidents. At least there's a fair chance it was an actual OAP ...

Very good news on Min.

Why do people do that? Even in the yellow cross hatched boxes. They pull over and they pull over, making sure the nose of their car remains that crucial 1 cm ahead of yours which they feel denotes their right to be in front of you. If I had my way I would be the only driver on the road.

Glad to hear about Min's appetite returning. Maybe next time you should bring pad thai.

Yay for the cat update and confetti for the birthday-people!

that's a great update on Min. you know...there's something about a grumpy cat that makes my squee reflex kick in. it's like, you can see in their eyes what their thinking and how annoyed they are with the situation...and it's just so CUTE. :D

Hee! I've just been scrolling through the comments and the bit about the dog in the cage below her is too funny. I think I love your cat. Can you love a cat from afar? Very, very afar? There's not much that's more afar from Australia than Canada. What a strangely sad thought. Our paths will never cross....

Anyway, I'm glad to hear she's getting on okay. I tell you that salmon is magic stuff. Ben has much the same reaction to it. He might refuse everything on the plate but he can slam back a whole fillet in about five minutes flat. With Buddy dancing around below the high chair to catch any flakes that might happen to miss Ben's mouth.

And oooooh traffic. Grr at the many times I have almost been hit while someone tried to make a mad left while on their cell phone. Or last week when I was getting on the highway and the person in front of me panic and braked almost to a complete stop in the last 20 feet of the on-ramp. Yes, that's much less likely to get you killed then merging. And then there is the crosswalk of doom by my house that I swear is only for decorative purposes because no one ever ever stops. *shakes head* Crazy car world.

BTW, I am nearing the end of my fic. I'm hoping to pound it out this week. I thought I'd send it to you, not to beta - that can totally wait - but just as a distraction from all the craziness?

Yay for the great news! =D

Incidentally, I just wrote a cat drabble this morning (original).

So good to hear that Min is eating again. Yeah, who can resist pink salmon ;-). Which reminds me of the one time when we brought back fresh shrimp directly from the Northern Sea, hauled it all the way down to Southern Germany, and Ms. Natascha (our cat then) would nit deign to even smell at it.
All the best wishes for Min and you!

I'm so glad to read this. :)

Yay for Min being okay to eat again! :) And thank you for very much for the birthday wishes! *hugs*

Oh and btw, I don't how those

hp_mailbox works if there'a reveal or not but I was actually your Draco for it :)

So glad Min is holding her own. Here's hoping the chemo goes ok.

*hides from north shore traffic jams*

*blinks mildly at Min*

You have people all over the world thinking hopeful thoughts for you and your humans.

A little unlucky with the present fairy, but well-warmed and well-loved with the wishes. It's the thought, after all, that counts!

I am still waging that unending battle with/against (it depends on my mood) corporate HR - I've been bloodied, I've been burnt, and I've died many a faceless deaths *waves rusty sword*!

(Sorry, it's 7pm and I'm still in the office *grin*)

Move to Melbourne. There is no traffic here. You simply book the road at the time you want it and all the other traffic has to get off it until you've reached your destination.

Also I'm glad your Min is holding up.

Oh my, I feel terrible for I've missed almost the entirety of the Min drama! I am obviously a horrible person, but she has my best wishes now. I am glad that the vets think they have figured it out finally and that she is feeling a bit better. Whining dogs are, indeed, an evil thing to suffer, especially whilst ill.

I'm so pleased Min is doing better, and making her opinions known.
Fancy them offerng a cat of such discrimination cat food!

Well, like you said, if she's still interested in food, that's a good sign, right? :)

Chemo sounds... well, forgive me for generalising (mainly because I know very little about the process), but I hope she doesn't lose her hair. :/

Seriously though, it's great to hear things are looking up for Min. ^_^

Hello! Wouldn't you like to place a request too?
