Taking Luna To The Vet

 Having some issues with the cat. :( 

I had some issue with my cat, Luna. I saw that she had a tape worm on her, and I immediately took her to the vet as soon as they had an opening which was 1 hr 30 min later. I have some issues with other people's cats that are indoor and outdoor cats. They are free to roam around the neighborhood and they bring their fleas to my back yard and when I want my cats to play and get some sunlight in the comfort of their own home they are exposed to what other uncared for cats carry into my home. It is so frustrating!!!

I let them go out for sunlight, stretching out and being playful safely, but they got fleas and so it was time to nuke the house with anti flea bombers throughout. I shaved both of my cats down which is pain-stakingly frustrating because they don't like it. Needless to say, it got done, I applied flea treatment on their backs and placed a flea collar on them to cover my bases. Well, the bumps and fleas were gone, but then I see a worm, and I thought. Eww, gross, and suddenly I saw Luna as a bag of worms walking in my home. YUCKITY YUCK!!!

So, I take her to the vet to get de-wormed from the tape worms she had. Got 2 shots, one to kill the worms, and one to help her with her allergic reaction to fleas. See, she not only had flea bites, the actual flea bite made her get a reaction to the bite, and therefore she was actually pulling her own hair off when grooming because she was so irritated in spots all over. :( poor baby. All because I let them have some sunlight in my back porch where other cats had stopped by during the night or when I wasn't watching. I wish people could just keep their cats in their home so they don't go poop in people's flower beds or lawns. It is so RUDE of them to just let them be free. It is careless, dirty, lazy and dangerous because they can get run over or hurt. I keep my cats in my fenced yard and they never leave. I keep an eye on them. They are my babies and I don't just train them to be like wild kids going over to the neighbors and doing dumb crap for other people to deal with. 

I would really appreciate it if people could be more adult about life. But it is not likely to happen. Grown ups think they can do whatever they want and they don't have to improve themselves in any way. Ugh, so frustrating! 

So, all in all Luna is better, and wanting to play. The problem now is that because Luna came back from the vet smelling a certain way..(maybe medicine, or other cats, or veterinary smells) now I am dealing with the Alpha cat hissing at Luna and picking a fight. Let's just hope Cloud, doesn't end up so stressed she poops on the floor or somewhere as a retaliation. That is how cats express stress. -_- 

This is how you deal with indoor cats. You give them what they need and you protect them from outside critters. 

Now they have to be inside cats only and they need to get their sunlight from windows only. :( No more back yard fun. I'm wondering of a way to get stray/neighbor cats to not come over anymore and that way my cats will be free to be in THEIR back yard without picking up others' fleas. Do you have this problem?

Love your cats. Take care of your cats. Fendora

Better Weather?

When the weather is just no "bueno".

So, I was hoping that the weather would get nicer and sunnier, but guess what? There is more wind and cold my way. 

Living in California is a wonderful thing. I am happy that I can live here and be right on the beach, 10 minutes from the forest, and 15 from the river. I am truly blessed for that, but it is constantly chilly and it makes it hard for me to go out and enjoy nature. If it's green everywhere it is because it is wet outside (not to mention really cold).  We have London-like weather here, so yes...IT RAINS A LOT! Don't get me wrong. I like the rain. Love it, but not in a small town in the middle of a forest. Feeling like Belle from beauty and the beast, minus the royal treatment and ease of access to shopping. 

I am a southern California girl, I like the warmth. Wearing shorts, and tank tops and sandals are great! I love dresses and skirts because I am a girly girl, but it is blowing up like crazy outside just when I was getting my hopes up for nicer weather. 

For right now I will just stick to my comfy sweaters, and leggings. Workouts are pretty relaxing out doors, but today with such gusty winds, I will be doing an indoor workout with the hubby in the living room. Getting the cardio going...Aerobics time. OH YEAH! Gotta look into what playlist to blast while we jump around like human-bunnies. 

I have some things to do and so after my workout, it will be time to get going with the day, and cross off some to-dos. For now I guess I will leave it at this. But I guess what I want to say is, no matter the weather, and limitations, make time to be active in what ever way you can. Indoors or out, your body needs to detox by sweating naturally. It is how mother nature made us. 

Time to feel cozy. Fendora
