A Future for Salem

Salem has had all her drains removed, plus all of her stitches. She was supposed to wear the cone for another additional three days, but it appears she had her own idea about that. She removed it in the middle of the night and I don’t know where she put it, but I cannot find it. I suspect she put it under the sofa bed. There’s no way I’m going to move that just to find her cone

The plan going forward, although she has been semi feral in the yard for 15 years, is to introduce her to the other kittens in time. I am hoping she will be happy to spend the rest of her life indoors. 

What brings me hope - she doesn’t seem to be wanting out. No screaming at the door, no interest even in going out in the catio - not even when her old friend stopped by to say hi on the outside of the cage. Tomorrow, I plan on going in to the cat room and cleaning it out and getting rid of all the medical supplies and stuff stored in there. I’m sure if she could she would say “Good riddance!”

I just spent the better part of four hours cleaning out the cat enclosure. Just the main one. I’m only tackling one at a time. It has been quite a while since I have been in there. Now it looks nice and presentable. I know it won’t last. I am sore as heck, but I got it done. 

If someone would like to send us some dry cat food. We would sure appreciate it. We are feeding Cat Chow-Purina Indoors as well as Friskies seafood mixture. I had another emergency with my pump in my well. There was not a cost I was expecting. I went three days without water (again) my neighbor was kind enough to throw his hose over the fence. But I still had to haul water in the house in buckets. I did it carefully as I could. But I had no choice. It had to be done.
