ugh 30.05.
This morning, when I went to feed the kitties, I noticed they had barely eaten out of one of the bowls and the other wet food bowl was empty as well as their dry food dish. Upon closer inspection, I saw *chills* maggots squirming ALL in the dish that they didn’t touch. Smart kitties, that’s for sure. When we leave the back door open so they can play outside, we get several flies inside. I think they lay eggs in the food cause I read eggs can hatch in as little as 8 hours…or even nastier, some flies lay larvae that skip the egg stage. Either way, it’s sickening and this is the second time it’s happened.
Remedy one: get a screen door put on the back door. That should be easy enough.
Remedy two: Although this will take some time to get used to, I want to switch them to the BARF diet. Which is basically raw meat and other important nutrients that are important to kitties. I would start this immediately, but our freezer barely has room for a small frozen pizza (it’s one of the old models that ices over SUPER fast and quickly). So we are probably going to have to invest in a stand alone freezer sometime. Where it will go, no idea. But I know we’ll need one eventually when we start harvesting food from our garden. We are going to have so many leftovers, and I don’t want them to go to waste.
Tonight will be fun…there’s a show at the Tavern and Thomas Function and The Counterclock Wise are playing. Two of my favorites. Plus, shows at the Tavern (Voo Doo Lounge…whatever it’s called nowadays) are always exciting. It’s within walking distance from our house, so that’s definitely a plus. The (tipsy/drunk) walk home is great and there are several houses with kitties that like to play when we walk by. One night I wouldn’t be surprised if someone called the cops on us. It must look silly when we are sitting in the middle of the sidewalk playing with someone’s cat. haha. oh well…
Also tonight (when we get home from the store and before we head up to the show) we’re going to watch the LOST season finale. omg I’m so stoked. I can’t wait to see what happens, but if Penny or Des dies, I’ll be so sad! I wish we had time to watch it BEFORE we go to the store, but it’s 2 hours, and there’s always a guy that comes every Friday right at 5pm. So, no such luck. Ah well, I like suspense!
Man, TGIF…I love the weekends.
