Caturday

 It's Caturday every day here. 

Here's a few photos....

Shady is very very old and no longer can even hear.  She and Buffy, who is also ancient, are from the same massive colony.  I got 120 fixed between four houses on a dead end street outside Albany, at the request of the vet who had fixed a few for one lady and said its hopeless without someone else getting involved.  Later he apologized, having no idea there were over a hundred cats and kittens. 

They both sleep away most of their days now, in the sun if they can find a spot  We were lucky this morning to get a sunrise, not fog and they both took advantage.

Buffy, dreaming pleasant dreams I hope.

I was so self pleased today.  Yesterday I had cleaned and changed the straw in almost all the cat yard cat beds.  Two to go.  And today I took down the front window blinds and cleaned them in the shower, my preferred method, because its so easy.  I washed the big front windows, cleaned fur off all the cat runs and trees, washed carrier beds and vacuumed out heat vents.   

I'd watched one of those Jamie's 30 Minute Meals shows yesterday and decided to make spaghetti from one of his recipes.  It called for a sauce made of anchovies, tuna, capers, olives, pepper flakes and garlic, besides tomato sauce.   Because I'm trying to get more calcium and Vitamin D along with antioxidants, I already had anchovies and I had tuna because I use it when trapping.   So....no problemo.  I eat a few sardines every week.  Started that a few months ago.  They're really good for you and extremely cheap.  Who needs salmon anyway.  Let em spawn, for gosh sakes.  People always are talking on the news there are not enough salmon.  Well,  stop eating them then.   

But I wasn't hungry last night so I made it for breakfast.  Mmmmm very very delicious, quick and easy!  I think it gave me all that energy I needed to do all that cleaning.   I called it a day for doing chores a bit after noon.  I went out to change the spark plugs in my car first before I quit.  To my surprise when I opened the hood, I saw the engine cover is missing.  The bolts were still there, nestled down in vent cracks up near the windshield. 

 I don't know if the mechanic will still have it.  That was a month ago I took it in.  I do want it back.  The engine compartment looks unfinished and dirty without it on.  I left the mechanic's shop a message but they're not open today.  I ended up not changing the plugs.  Instead I went scrounging again, for any deals at stores.  Anything to not work on a car.  I don't like working on my car.  I'd rather do about anything else.  I found coconut milk at the Dollar Store.  I keep forgetting they often have it.  And their price is about a $1.50 cheaper than other stores charge for it right now.  I use it for curry, and on cereal.  I like it.

Yesterday morning, the cat I call Pretty Boy and the black tux, brother of the gray tux, owned behind me and one over, were going at it loudly.  I went out and lectured both of them for some time.   I don't think they listened.
