Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

SU had his back surgery. Pain is a lot less in his back, but his hips and right thigh are seriously ticked off now. Met with a radiation doctor yesterday, and as soon as insurance approves, SU will get radiation on his hips. That will involve us driving to the big city and back every weekday for weeks, so three hours every day. Trying to fit in the other medical appointments and a couple of my own are gonna be fun...
A family friend is stepping up to take SU to the occasional radiation treatment when I have to be somewhere else. At least after next week, I won't have to deal with Mom's medical appointments for a couple months. She's going to stay with Older Brother in Kansas, while Sister gets Mom's bathroom remodeled to a better and safer configuration.
On the up side, his PSA has dropped from 344 to 0.54 after only two Firmagon injections, so the prostate cancer is losing its battle.
That battery powered lawn mower was a total bust. When I tried to start it, absolute silence. I guess someone didn't attach some wires, but I'm not going to take it apart. Asking family friend to help me get it into the pickup to return it. Think I'll ask a lawn service to deal with it for now.
Short Friend is still in Maine. She sold the cabin and property up there, but just as she was getting ready to come home, her mom went into ICU. Mom's coming around, though, and two days ago went into rehab. Since Mom has several sisters there, as well as a son, SF feels she can safely come home. Has to, really, as Tall Friend's stint in rehab ends in early October.
Poor Czarny. He will only go outside if I'm with him, and I have so little time to go walking with him. He has to settle for when I'm doing pool maintenance. Now he'll be home alone every weekday, as if we were going to work. Good thing he likes his middle of the day naps...
Good thing he was inside at sundown. I went out to unplug the pool vacuum and heard several foxes calling very close by.
Our hummingbirds are becoming scarcer, but are still here. The main migration right now is butterflies. Haven't seen any monarchs, but the bitty butterflies are everywhere, in vast profusion. Fun to watch, but I hate seeing them fly into windscreens.
Czarny wants to play now. Later, y'all.
