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...

Good news, bad news. When his urologist called back, finally, a week later, SU bought the guy's line that "it's only five treatments" and something about him being concerned about the pressure or something on SU's right femur. So SU caved.
When we got to the radiation treatment place, we found out it's 10-20 treatments. I looked right at SU and said, "He lied to you!" But SU needs the therapy soonest, so starting on Wednesday, we'll spend three frikkin' hours out of every weekday traveling to/from and getting the treatments. I'll also have to rearrange every other medical appointment he and I have for those 10-20 weekdays.
Meanwhile, the urologist will be getting the online reviews he deserves. If he were really so concerned about SU's femur, then why did he BS SU into riding in a vehicle through road construction for two hours daily? I'll tell you why: these radiation therapy folks are part of the urologist's own group. It's all about the bucks, not SU's well-being.
It's been five days and I am still so infuriated that I can't write that review yet. I want to be as calm and factual as possible, and until my ire eases a bit, can't do it.
On the livestock front, the bucks are hanging around in our meadow. They know it's a safe place. All the poaching around here (bow season) has them really skittish. When rifle season opens next month, the poaching will become even more blatant, and I expect those two lovely 8-point bucks will be no more. Pity; they both are inclined toward hanging out around our water trough and accepting carrots tossed in their general direction.
They're ignoring Czarny, thank goodness. He's so enjoying the drop in temps that he wants to be outside most of the day now. Just wish he'd stop waking me up at 0600. It's still dark and I'm not getting up to feed him or let him out yet, unless Mr. Bladder demands I get up. Might feed Czarny at that point, but then it's right back to bed.
Once we know what SU's standing radiation appointment will be, I expect the sleeping arrangements will be radically altered for a while.
I see Czarny's anxious to go back out, and I need to go grocery shopping. Later, y'all.
