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...

It's May already!?! We're finally getting some rain, which will lower the wildfire risk somewhat, but it won't put much of a dent in our extreme drought. The lake is at historic lows, yet water is being sold to the Big City that's not in our acquifer or even downriver, and said Big City wastes water like mad. Sheesh.
Ian and Gym are doing well. Gym is due for neutering this month. He's just a mellow, loving cat that one can't really tell he's still an intact tom. He's now taller and longer than Ian, but still under 10 pounds. Ian is compact and stocky--and overweight. I'm having trouble finding a good food combination for both, since Gym still needs kitten food and Ian definitely does not! Right now, I'm gradually adding freeze dried cat food to their regular gooshy food, with middling success. Gym seems to be more inclined to eat it than Ian.
On the up side, Ian is slowly becoming interested in the cat wheel. Good, he's the one I bought it for, so he can run off some of that fat. He's very active, just not so active that he loses that fat.

Spousal Unit put off-road wheels on his walker so he can get out to the model railroad building (22 Twain Haus), and is getting around much better. If he keeps it up, he'll be off the walker by late summer.
We've not been traveling, due to his disability, and it's long past time to sell Obi-Wander. But that's yet another chore that falls to me, since he can't drive an RV with Parkinson's, and I'm just not up to dealing with it right now. Obi needs new batteries and a bit of work before he can safely be driven to be serviced and those recalls dealt with, and finding a mobile tech has been difficult. Then someone will need to drive Obi, since I'm also a bit stove up now. With all the RV campgrounds around here, one would think RV mobile service and drivers would be readily available, but noooo. Sigh.
Well, I need to take my pickup to get a tire fixed before it goes totally flat, so off I go. Later, y'all.
