Update on Moo


Since we have been unable to get any additional information from Moo's former owner, Sis took her to our veterinarian this morning. He determined that she has not been spayed, is only about 4 years old, and weighs just over 8 pounds. He went ahead and gave her the needed yearly shots, including rabies.

Moo is a lovable cat and seems very happy and content to live in Sis's room.

A new family member

We may have a new family member. An attorney who lives nearby has to move and is unable to take his cat, a pretty little black and white (female, we think), named Moo. I haven't met the attorney. A man from church was the go-between and brought the cat and all its belongings over. Initially we were told that the cat has been declawed (not true), has been spayed (who knows?), and is about 6 years old. She doesn't look that old. He brought her cage, litter box, bed, food and her food and water bowls. Fortunately she eats the same brand of cat food that Calvin does.

Our friend is going to try to get Moo's health records from the attorney. Otherwise we will have to take her to our vet and see what we can find out that way.

Calvin and Precious are not amused. So Moo is sleeping in Sis's room tonight and will be introduced to them gradually when we are able to closely supervise.

When we still had the old cat, Digger, she lived in Sis's room and spent nearly all her time in there and in Sis's bathroom. Moo and Sis made friends immediately, so that is good.

We shall see. This is supposed to be a trial period for a couple of days to see how it works out.

Feb 4, 2011 - A Snow Day in San Antonio

We woke to find snow on the ground this morning - perhaps half an inch. It is the first that stuck to the ground since I moved here in 1986.

I didn't go to work today.

Around noon, Sis went to the shopping center and picked up a birthday cake she had ordered for me. She also brought home pizza for lunch. It was a surprise. The cake is a carrot cake with butter cream frosting. Delicious.
