My cats are driving me absolutely insane. I used to love them so much I couldn't think of life without them. Things have changed. I've got a baby. I'm over the cats. I could live without them. I still love them and want the best for them, but they are really bugging me lately. Jp has a uti, which is lame because I have to give him pills. He doesn't want to take pills. He's not interested in them at all. My pill popping attempt went horribly awry this morning and ended with me banging my head on the corner of the kitchen cabinets (ouch) and Jp projectiling the pill out of his mouth and into the sink. It's gone...down the drain. They only gave me ten stupid pills--one for each day. Now, I have to go back to the vet, tell them that my cat is not ok with swallowing pills, and see what they have to say. Lame.
Pip decided last night would be a good time to torture me with his incessant neediness. I got both of them new collars with bells on them so I would know their exact whereabouts in the condo at all times. However, when the cats are jamming up and down the stairs at 3am with their bells ringing, I realize the error of my ways and reconsider the bells on the collar thing. I yanked Pip's collar off last night in a fit of frustrated exhaustion and threw it across the room. I can't find it now, so perhaps my problem is solved.
Anyway, I'm debating when I'll let them explore the confounds of our new neighborhood. Our little village isn't particularly animal friendly, but maybe getting out will calm these two maniacs down a bit. Or, they'll go out, lose all sense of direction, wander down to the Safeway shopping center and I'll never them again. Who knows.
Lilly and my mom are passed out in the rocking chair together. My mom got in from Atlanta late last night and the construction around here starts early in the morning equalling a brief window of sleep for Nana. We'll all need naps today.
I just looked over and Lilly is smiling in her sleep. So cute.
We have plans to watch Happy Feet today. I heard it was a great movie. I doubt it's as good as Finding Nemo, but I'll give it a try.
Ryan is in SF until Friday night. We miss him.

maybe you can give them to your Mom or sisters?
Pets are hard with kids because they're just one more thing to take care of and make your life hectic.
Funny, Funny, Funny. Isn't this the cat you shelled out major bucks to get a HIP REPLACEMENT for? You know kid people look at pet people and think to themselves "just wait until they have kids." This is so classic, I love it.
This was a pretty funny post Jen. I never thought I would hear you state those words though "I'm over the cats."
I love when babies smile in their sleep, especially the newborns. It's so great! I remember Ave doing it at 2 am and it making my day (or early morning).
I have seen Happy Feet and it is cute but I liked Finding Nemo better.
My husband kept wanting to get a dog, but now that the baby is almost here I am glad we haven't!
I've always had cats, til I moved down here, now that I own, I got one, a silver bengal tiger cat. after her spay, I was suppose to give her pain medicine via mouth and syringe...a cat with wild blood, and syringes dont mix. I know how you feel. she drives me crazy too, but at the end of the day, I still love her. remember they are in a new environment. give them time..
I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe! I feel you, though. One of our cats has gotten yet another infected wound from a fight with a neighborhood cat, and when I brought him into the vet, she asked, "weren't you just here, for the same thing?" Yeah, I was, and yeah, same treatment, three doses via syringe down the ole' throat. Fun, Fun, for two weeks!!
