Grrr! Aggravating Day!
Ever have one of those mornings (into afternoons)? Actually, it started out fine. I went to get my hair done ... she was busy, with me and another client and no one else to help her, so she was going back and forth between us. That's fine, I had my magazines. Well, she got done with my color, then my highlights, then went to rinse me out ... she put something in my hair and the smell just made me start gagging (she knows I'm sensitive to this stuff ... or at least I've impressed it on her often enough ... I thought). So then she had to wash my hair again to get the smell out. She said it was something to get the Ph level back ... she never used that before. Oh my, it really got me coughing ... I was almost reaching for my inhaler. Anyway, I was OK after that, and she cut my hair, it looks great.
Went to lunch to supposedly meet these people off this West Michigan group ... this group is notorious for NOT showing up. And again, they didn't. Or maybe they did and they didn't acknowledge me sitting there ... or maybe they went to the On the Border at the OTHER mall instead of Rivertown Crossings, which I told them to go to. Anyway, I got there at 12:15 ... told the host I was waiting for someone, he directed to a table; the woman spoke rather quickly and I thought maybe she was with my group because she said something about "Amy" ... well, that wasn't my "Amy" so I went back to wait by the door. And waited ... and waited ... and waited. Finally, at 12:40, I got a table and ordered ... by myself and figured if anyone came, they could join me. No one did. Figures. Well, I enjoyed lunch.
Got home, brought in the mail and my leftovers. Checked outside to see if there were any packages, closed the front door and saw this big mess of poop smeared all over the throw rug and the carpet. Yup, Diva has struck again. Had to throw out the rug, clean off the carpet, the door jamb, etc. It just reeked. I don't know what to do with her. I am about to call her former mom (my former cat sitter, who runs a rescue) and ask her to take her back. I don't want to do that, because I love Diva, but I also don't want to put her to sleep because she can't control her bowels. And if she has something seriously wrong, I can't afford to treat it. This is tearing me up. She was so good for a whole week ... she didn't go outside the box. And now she's doing it again, right by her food too ... and cats don't defecate by their food.
Enough of my whining. I have reflux from lunch, bending over to clean the litter boxes that are now nowhere near a chair like they used to be. I need to put a chair near them so I can sit while I scoop like I used to.

Think of it this way, it has to get better from here!
Tomorrow will bring 24 more hours and the chance to begin our lives again. Thank God!

Dear Eileen,
I am so sorry about your furry family member. She has been in my prayers and I was hoping that she had passed a milestone and had stopped. You got to do what you have to do for the good of your cat. Pets are our family and it is one of the hardest things on earth is to let go of our our babies. Maybe your cat sitter can get her cured and you can get her back. You and Diva will continue to be in my prayers and thoughts.
Love Nancy

Oh Eileen, I was hoping that Diva was doing better. It is like we talked about on the phone. You have to do what you have to do and if that means callings Diva's old mom so be it. Maybe there is something that she could tell you to help to try to stop her from doing that. Maybe there is something wrong with her. Did you take her off the food from the vet?
I don't know a lot about kitties (just ask Misty and she will tell you that) but there has to be something wrong somewhere. Are you still showering her with positive reinforcement?
This whole thing has me baffled for sure.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
(((eileen))) i am so sorry that diva isn't getting any better!!! i am baffled as to what is wrong with her!!! maybe giving her back will be the best thing for her...maybe she can then get the help she needs to get better....i know how it is with not having any money for the vet to help her...wonder why this vet won't take payments so you can get her the help she needs!!! maybe call another vet???
hope your hair stays pretty...i got mine cut last week and love it alot...needs coloring tho...its not hard to do it yourself trust me...i do it all the time.
and yeah that would have pissed me off big time if that group didn't have the courtesy to call and let you know they weren't coming to meet you!!!! some nerve!!!! if i were you i wouldn't met them again...or try to meet them!!!
know we are here for you with what ever you decide to do with diva...
hugs
