Back to One Extra

 Rain and icky weather has returned.   Sunday wasn't even nice like it was supposed to be.  Cloudy.

We had one nice day on Saturday.

I did round up five cats for Monday, to be fixed, but ended up driving all the way to Sweet Home for four of them.  More from Berlin Road---the end of it  up that way.  My gosh that road is like a curse for cats, so many unfixed along there.  This is yet another big group.

I wore myself out on Monday, driving cats early to the clinic.   I then was horrified to see that Fat Boy, still recuperating in the garage from eye removal and dental care, had an infection in his one good eye.  I drove to Corvallis to get eye meds for him.   He is actually not too hard to medicate.  

Then it was back to the clinic to pick up the five cats.  I was so tired by then I knew I would have to sleep soon.  I was drop dead tired.  I'm also giving sub cu fluids now to Fantasia, an old gal here, one of two who are not going to be with me much longer.  I've not only been caring for Fat Boy in the garage but also the two girl kittens fixed Saturday, trapped last week by someone who works at a business.  Having two cages set up in the garage, with more litter boxes to clean, just had added to the exhaustion.

The Lebanon lady came to pick up her boy here.   He's one of two she feeds at her place, along with she's still feeding along Berlin road and in Waterloo.

Spunky
Here are the three from Berlin road, another big group I'm told.  Someone else caught these, thankfully.

I also took this cat, a stray, who turned out to be already fixed.


After the Lebanon lady came and got Spunky, the business trapper came and got the kittens, whom I'd held here, but she did not take her two large traps.   So I'm still storing those.   

I immediately fell asleep outside in the lawn chair for half hour before the cold woke me and I moved inside, and napped there until 7:30, when I got up, and then drove the other four cats back to the lady who intends to rehome them.  She didn't get off work til 9:00.  I didn't get home til nearly 10:30.

I'm am hoping soon we get some lengthy better weather to enjoy.   For now, I guess some front is moving in again tomorrow.   I seem to be caught up on sleep now.  I took apart the cage that had held the kittens after cleaning it, so I have more room in the garage again.    

The neighbors must be getting going on their move.  His motor home is out front of their place and her car was in front of mine, back open, like she was loading stuff maybe.  It's quite stressful to move, especially with a move out deadline looming.    They've known since FEbruary they were both moving, but sometimes it creeps up fast, the actual deadline to be out.
