Well tonight was the big move for KD and Pooh.  It did not go well.  I went over to the parents house to see Brian, Sarah and Christopher (picture below) and after that I had the arduous task of moving the cats from the old place to the new one.  God I hate moving cats.  KD was easy, she went in her cage but cried for the entire hour trip back.  Pooh on the other hand got wise pretty quick and I had to chase him all over the house to catch him.  Almost immediately after we got underway, he shit in the cage, moments later, he threw up.  He does not deal with change very well although now he is actually exploring the new place a bit.  KD doesn’t seem to care much but doesn’t look very good in general.  She needs to gain weight.  Poor Gavin was stuck in the front seat, his head stuck out the window for lack of any breathable air in the car.  Just as a dog would, he has no concept of why it was so difficult to go from one place to another.

So now they are moved, hopefully they know where the litter box is and where the food is.  This is a trial run for those of you who have been following.  If KD’s health does not improve and if Pooh does not start using his litter box, steps will be taken to put them out for adoption.  As much as they are my children, they are still indeed PETS (not kids).  I am in no financial position to sink hundreds of dollars into trying to cure whatever it is that ails KD, nor am I about to fork over hundreds of dollars to replace carpet and wallpaper in a rental because my pets destroyed it.  It just ain’t gonna happen folks.  Call me uncaring, cruel or whatever, they are pets NOT people, I will love them if they can all be successful and adapt to a domestic lifestyle for which they have been bread over millions of years.  If not, they will have to go.

I got to meet Christopher tonight for the first time.  He’s adorable, funny, and quite small (well normal for 4 weeks old but small to me).  Been a LONG time since I held a baby, can’t honestly say I’d want to do it 24/7 (don’t worry Sarah and Brian, eventually he’ll stop asking you for food every 2 hours) but it is kind of special to have a new person in the family.  It will be fun to watch him grow up.

Well, now I have to go pick the poop out of Pooh’s fur.  Wish me luck.
