Six Cats Fixed Today

This cat was a male.
All three brown tabbies were females.
Male, with severe earmites.
Another of the females fixed today.
This female turned out to be already fixed. The caretaker of all these cats is refusing ear tips. HOwever, if another already fixed cat gets shows up she wants fixed, I will inform her to get these cats eartips or pay for the fixes herself.

Six cats from the Rock Hill colony were fixed today. All were actually tame. I don't really know much about the situation that led to this couple having so many cats. She was referred by a Lebanon woman on E street for whom I took in to be fixed four adults and five kittens. It was very late when I arrived last night, after going with Vicki way down to Marcola. I barely found the place in the dark. It was almost 10:00 p.m.

She has a dog in the yard who began to bark and never stopped. I kept up at my car, hoping to keep the dog from barking so neighbors would not be annoyed. She had five cats inside, and put them into her carriers and I set one trap and quickly caught one she calls one of the "strays". She has about twenty cats, she said, but she and her daughter got 8 fixed last year on SafeHaven vouchers.

Unfortunately, they did not know any other of the solutions out there, like the FCCO or even the close by Spay Inc., to get the rest fixed. They then reproduced. She claims the strays come down from a barn above her owned by an older couple who get cats as mousers but will not fix them nor feed them, so they end up at her place begging for food. Anyhow, I guess she might have half dozen or more left needing fixed. Today six were fixed.

In other news: BEST SURVIVOR OUST EVER last night. Yes, I watch Survivor. I love watching the human drama of it and I know a lot of it is edited to become drama, bits and pieces shot at different times, put together to make into a dramatic story line in one episode. Nonetheless, last night's vote out of Tyson was spectacular.

Tyson is a good looking young athletic man who is also funny. He declared himself a Mormon from Utah right off, but later on, said he might want to move somewhere less Mormonany, once Survivor ends. But, Tyson is also vain and rude and uncaring. He was unrelentingly mean to Sierra, a young frail woman on his tribe, who had a bad start to Survivor because she was suffering from Strep.

In last nights episode, before the vote, when Sierra was begging for a way to remain, he told the camera he felt she was worthless. He told her that to her face and that she was next to go. At the vote, Sierra thought she was being voted out. She wrote down Tyson's name and made the comment when she did so, "You're a jerk."

Tyson is a jerk.

Unbeknownst to her, the two men from the old tribe, JT and Steve, plus some of the old tribe women, had decided to rid the tribe of a physical threat, who also happened to be an arrogant jerk. Tyson was voted off.

Coach, the joke of the show, although he does not know it, voted for Sierra's removal also, making a big show of it, by saying "I am the Dragonslayer. I cut off the dragon's head (meaning ousting Brandon, although he had nothing to do with that) and now I am slaying his mistress. (meaning Sierra)". Coach is a magnificent liar. He considers himself a master man, being a soccor coach and symphony director. He lies, is arrogant and thinks he is splendid, yet he is laughed at and mocked by other tribe members, behind his back, and no doubt by the TV audience, because he is a joke. He and Tyson were best buddies and thought they had everything under their control.

In reality, southern boy JT and his friend Steve, a nerd, and another woman from the old tribe, are running the show, quietly and without fanfare.

I want JT or Steve to win. Or even Sierra, although she is somewhat whiny. Actually, I'd love it if anyone but Coach or Erin won.

But the elimination of Tyson last night was a feel good moment for all those who have ever been bullied or abused by the barbie crowd at any time in their lives.

Bully Barbie boy Tyson got voted off the island. Good riddance.

I can only hope the outlandlishly arrogant ego blinded Coach is next.

Go JT! He's an honest hard working good ol boy. Go Steve, the nerd. Go Debbie, the school principal. Go all you women left, except Erin, who seems more bitchy than brainy.
