Litter Location

I have moved Bruno’s litter box to the garage. He’s using it there now, so everything seems to be ok for now.

It sure is nice to have the old place free from litter. I’m curious to see how the litter in the garage ends up…

Heater Cat

Since my central heat isn’t working, I’ve been using space heaters. Bruno can’t stand to be in another room, even if it’s cold, so there are heaters in several different rooms. Bruno sits in front of them wherever they are:

A heater repair guy is coming today. That’ll be good. I’m sure the electric bill is taking a hit with all these space heaters running.

Heater Help

My central heater has stopped working. I’m not sure what’s going on with it. I investigated a little, but I think I’m going to have to call someone. It’s bad timing, because right now we’re getting some of our coldest weather of winter so far. It’s dipping below forty! Yikes!

On Sunday night I was a little worried about Bruno. He usually sleeps on the couch. I gave him two blankets instead of the usual one. He did fine.

Last night, I ran some electric space heaters starting from the time I got home. They did a good job of keeping the house warm.

While I had the stairs to the attic pulled down so I could check out the central heater, Bruno wanted to help.

He only got up a little before I grabbed him. I think he might have gone the whole way…

Fun Final Day

Yesterday was my last day of vacation since I’ll be working at school all day today, and it was a GREAT day.

I started by getting a massage. My trainer said it might help with a chronic soreness in my arm I’ve been having. It did help that a little, but it REALLY helped me feel relaxed. I will definitely be doing it again.

While I was in the part of town the massage place was, I drove past a garden center I’d never been to. I stopped of course.

It was really nice and had a great selection of plants, especially succulents.

When I got home, I took a nap, then cleaned and straightened some things at my house. While I was cleaning, I was reminded of a litter box placement that Beth suggested for my mom, but that I want to do for myself – to put the litter box in the garage.

It’s been in the laundry room / mudroom area, but Bruno tracks litter. If it’s in the garage, I can just sweep all the tracked litter outside. But Bruno hasn’t been allowed in the garage up to this point, so he is unfamiliar with it. Last night, I let him in.

He loved it! He kept going in the garage, then running around the house, then going back in. I left the door open so he could get acquainted with the new area. After a while, I’ll move the litter box in.

Oh – and there was a gorgeous sunset last night. What a great day!

Blanket Bruno

Happy Birthday to my Mom! Woo hoo! (and happy belated birthday to Lauren. I’ve been extra forgetful lately – maybe I need some B vitamins or something)

It gets cooler here in winter, but not really ever cold. Yesterday the highs were in the seventies. The evening temperatures are dipping just below sixty, which is cool enough for a couch blanket. Nice! Bruno likes it too.

That’s my belly he’s got his nose buried in. Heh. His head was up for a while, but then it just plonked right down, and he was out.

I wonder if Sphynx cat head wrinkles are unique to each cat, like fingerprints…
