in his box
the moses decided we'd get up early this morning, which for a change was amenable to me. the heat has broken. it's very nice today.
took him for an arthritis shot and then decided to go through the mickey death drive-thru afterwards. moses was in his carrier on the passenger seat.
when the young woman at the window handed me my change, she giggled and said, "little cat sitting in his box!" i smiled and giggled too.
i don't think anyone (besides me) has called moses little in a very long time.
after making a couple of stops after the vet, i guess the little cat decided that we were going on a long trip in the car, perhaps to see J, so he rolled over on his side to sleep, but couldn't, because there were too many bumps and too many interesting smells to smell out the window.
he seemed quite surprised when we arrived home, like, "wha? i thought we were going to J's house?"
the various medications seem to be doing their job; his breathing is quieter, his coat looks better, he's drinking less and i saw him washing one of his hind feet the other day, although the arthritis still seems pretty bad. i'm tempted to put little dabs of yogurt on parts of his body to see what he can reach. i suspect he could wash most of his body if he really wanted to; maybe he just needs a little reminder. it would also be a safe way to get him to stretch.

I always wished I had purchased a Mickey Death t-shirt while they still existed.

pinky: i've been saying 'mickey death' for so long, i forgot it was a reference to something! trust you to remember a pop culture reference, though.
i loved that comic. i believe it was they who said something like, 'velveeta is like no single cheese, because velveeta is more than one single cheese'
(although google reveals that that was actually a velveeta commercial, damn!)
