Lizbeth

You guys are either really awesome or really bored because like 45 people read my first blog!

I am still struggling with the work life balance to be able to have time to do the things that make me alive, like writing this blog, crafting or reading. Funny how the things that make us the most alive have to be scheduled.

Although one of the things that make me happy is fostering animals, and I just got a new foster on Sunday - a cat that I named Lizbeth, after Lizbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. I tried a couple of names out on her, but when I said Lizbeth to her, she turned and looked at me. So I said it again, and she again turned around & looked at me. After a third time of the same response, I knew I figured out her name. She is a love machine, purring even though she has a cold, constantly making biscuits on me. Happy to have a warm home with a variety of boxes to sleep in. I just have to get her healthy enough to be spayed and then she can officially be ready to be adopted to find her furever home.

We (the rescue I volunteer with) took Lizbeth in from another shelter to alleviate space there and were told she was pregnant. I had her into the vet today to get some meds for the kitty cold (otherwise known as an upper respiratory infection) and the vet checked to see how far along he thought she was. Yeah. She's not pregnant. I personally think she was constipated from eating too much when she got to the first shelter (she was probably starving from being outside), and the first shelter mistook a whole lot of poo for babies. I have been cleaning her litter box, I know a lot of poo when I see it.

Also? I talk about cat poo like parents talk about baby poo and vomit. I don't think its not normal. Cuz its my normal.
