Cat fees? People around here (Pennsylvania) keep saying that they think cats should be licensed like dogs are. I don't have a problem with it, to be honest. I'd get cat licenses for them, if it was required. I would have a problem keeping down to two cats though. One of my GFs lived in a senior housing facility in California before she died. She kept telling me to come out there to live. But they had really strict rules for the animals....could only weigh so much (only very, very small dogs could fit that rule), very short leashes, only allowed outside for so long, etc. One cat and you had to pay out the giggy for the animal. I couldn't handle it.

Now what happens if your third kitty were to pass away? Would you be allowed to get another cat, even though you're at your maximum allowed? Do they grandfather? (Meaning that if you had six cats when the law was passed, you could keep your six cats without penalty. But if the cats passed on, you wouldn't be allowed to get other cats.) I'm not trying to be crude....honest, I'm really curious how other areas do things regarding their pets.

How interesting. l'd always assumed both cats and dogs had to be registered and licensed everywhere.

We also have limits here - 5 pets total with no more than 3 dogs. So when l had the dog and my 3 cats l only had breathing room of one pet. They're licensed annually here, with less cost for "friendly" dogs, and for neutered pets, and microchipped pets.

Today:

Clean and polish bedrooms

Clean bathrooms

Finish reading work library book

Really? No corn syrup? What about table syrup, like King's syrup....do you have that in your area?

-Paid cat rego. ( just for interest sake. Where I live we need to register our animals with the Shire Council and pay an annual registration fee. Its $20.00 per cat. You are only allowed to keep two cats. I have three so I also have to apply for a permit to keep excess animals. That's a $50.00 annual fee. To get the permit I had to have my premises inspected and letters were sent to my neighbours to give them a chance to object.)

-Vacuum the cat hair up from the floors.

- exercise.

I am starting to feel better, thank you. But gosh, I'm tired. I know....I keep saying that. But I have been so tired that all I want to do is go to bed and sleep. I wake up and I'm tired. I sit here at work and I want to lean back and nap. And my bones ache. I'm just really pooped. If things don't soon calm down, I may have to see my doctor.

My three (well, two) things:

Clean out the litter boxes tonight

Four loads of laundry to do (actually five loads....right before I left for work, I was straightening out the pillows on the couch and saw where one of the cats had thrown up on the blanket we keep over the back of the couch, so I threw that down to the washer. I have to wash that, too)

Here's the recipe:

They were a HUGE hit! :nod:

I don't even try to fold fitted sheets. I roll them into a semi neat ball. :lol3:

Hmmmmm.... what to do today.

-going to try to walk. It looks nice outside.
-I think I will go to the garden center to get fertilizer. I have a 20% off coupon.
- water plants

ship packages (done)
grocery shop (done)

Walked to work and back.

Threw biscuits for Mouse - who I swear is picking them up like he has thumbs.....

Took instructions from Mouse to scoop out his litter! Get this!: I get home from work, my boy is meowing pathically and incesantly despite me kneeling on the floor stroking and pampering him as usual, at which point he usually settles. I get up and start to put my tea on to cook and the pathetic meowing escallates. Then my boy starts to run off in to my bedroom meowing but I continue to cook my tea. Next move is he starts meowing and running backwards and forwards between the bedroom and the bathroom! (I was not on my own - my house-guest was also there and witnessed this!) He carries on with this behaviour for about a minute, with me standing at the kitchen door asking him what's wrong and he looks at me as he runs past. Finally stupid cat mom twigs that he wants his litter (which is in my bedroom) scooped although it had been done in the morning before I left for work. Sure enough, he had been busy in his tray and even as I start to scoop out he is trying to push past my arms and hand as I take stuff out and wrap it up for the bin..... he pushed past me the second I move back and started digging away!

Honestly, if I get home one day and he sits in the hall and points a paw at the bathroom and then the bedroom I wouldn't be surprised!

Thanks for the delicious recipe !!! Looks so long but definitely worth the effort !!! :drool:

LOVE to see that someone in the country needs to water plants. That means the warm up is COMING!!! :woohoo:

--------------------------

1. Bunco group today!! We meet once a month and there are eight of us. A really fun time. The host serves everything lunch, goodies, drinks, etc. We take turns hosting each month. My realtor is the one who got me to join the group last Fall. It has been a great way for me to meet some very nice ladies here in town.

2. Swept up around the house - lots of leave - still.
3. Took our evening walk. Beautiful day/evening here.

Oh my. I'm not sure that I should even look at that recipe!! Thats the best looking brownie I've ever seen. I think it would be a good Easter treat. Yum. Thanks AbbysMom.

I'm not sure about the Grandfather rule. I think it's been a two cats only law here for a long time. It's the same with dogs. They must be registered at three months or over and they must be microchipped. My permit has my cats and registration numbers so I guess I would need to reapply for a new cat.

Today my three things:
Finish vacuuming a mopping.
Visit my Mummy
finish packing our bags. Tomorrow we are going to Sydney! Woo Hoo!

Oh they are definitely evil! :lol3:

Have a nice trip Tammat!

Today I will go for a walk, do some laundry, do a little yard work.

AbbysMom · Apr 11, 2014

Aaron took the day off today, so not really any "chores" will be getting done.

- go for a walk
- go out to eat
- go for a scenic drive

Thanks, Karen! Copied and printed!

Tammat, have a wonderful and safe trip!

My two things for tonight:

Making the above mentioned buckeye brownies tonight to take to a dinner on Saturday (I don't have espresso powder, but I think they'll be fine without it. I don't have the milk chocolate chips either, but do have semi-sweet; they should work OK. Maybe I can just run to the store for the milk chocolate chips, too, tonight. We'll see. )
Errands: Target, PetSmart, Lowes, etc.

AbbysMom · Apr 11, 2014

Winchester . Sorry, on my phone so short post, I didn't use espresso powder either. The semi- sweet would probably be fine.

mservant · Apr 11, 2014

Walk to work.

Shopping for family meal with my mum tomorrow for her birthday - walked the mile uphill home from work with 4 heavy bags of shopping.

Had a nice evening meal with my young house guest who has been here quite a few weeks. We are both out doing different things tomorrow so this was our last oportunity before she goes home on Sunday.

Thanks, Karen. I made them without the powder. And didn't buy milk chocolate chips.....used Ghiradelli semi-sweet chips. They look wonderful. They're in the fridge now.

Tammat, what great pictures! Looks like you're having a great time!

Rick is working some OT this morning, so when he's up, I'm awake, too. And then I can't go back to sleep, so I usually get out of bed and stay up.

My dough for Onion Twist Bread is rising as I type (taking a loaf to friends to have with dinner tonight)

Going up to Elite Feet (it's for runners, but they also help walkers, too) for new walking shoes for me , followed by a trip to the bowling alley to talk to one of Rick's friends who drills bowling balls. Rick won a new bowling ball at States and he needs to get it drilled. He's been complaining about his bowling ball now for a few months, so this happened just in time.
A load or two of laundry

Winchester · Apr 13, 2014

Rick is taking his mom to church this morning. After he comes back home, we're going to have an early dinner and then go outside for the day.

We need to rake the stones back into the driveway (the driveway stones got into the front yard while shoveling snow over the winter).
One load of kitty laundry
Manicure tonight as my nails are a mess (hopefully I'll have some time)

mservant · Apr 13, 2014

Moved everything out of my spare room and blitz cleaned the space, washed down and hoovered before putting basic amount of furniture back in place.

2 loads of laundry so far and more to get done tomorrow once I have some space to dry it....

Got a couple of full bags of clothing out to my car boot ready to take down to local charity shops - more to be sorted before I take it all down.

tammat · Apr 14, 2014

Climbed the Sydney harbour bridge.
Walked up George Street Sydney.
Took a water taxi from Darling Harbour to Luna Park Sydney.

Winchester · Apr 14, 2014

I have a Planning Commission meeting tonight right after work.
Grocery shopping
Target (socks for my new walking shoes)

So much more exotic than the day I've got planned! :lol3:

Laundry, dishes, taxes. Also, drink lots of the new coffee I bought this weekend.

mservant · Apr 14, 2014

@Tammat your day sounds so incredible! Mine was

Another 2 loads of laundry washed and hung up to dry.

Move bits of furniture and lamps around to get better storage and tidying space in my bedroom, and dusted and cleared the space on top of my chest of drawers (not seen daylight for mess for a couple of months).

Vacuumed and dusted and generally cleaned out my bedroom, and got the bed made...
