Cat ICU Day 2

So the weirdest things happened last night. . .
After we got home from obedience classes wherein Harriet was so freaked out that she did not even want to participate-Angus did a great job performing all the commands perfectly. The other mean instructor was not there and the atmosphere in the class was more relaxed. Joy helped everybody and the class even went over 20 minutes instead of being dismissed promptly at 7:00PM.

We picked up the bread bowls at Dominos on the way home. New kitty cat Cheesers had come with us so that we could take turns feeding him during class. However, he got quite cold on the way home even after being buried in 3 warm rags.

Got Cheesers home to the "ICU" and warmed him up; got more warm milk into him; and set him on the heating pad. He settled down quite well. Took a long nap.

Then 10:00pm came around. We were getting tired and the dogs decided they needed to go out to potty one last time. After hubby had just gotten all the pups inside, a knock on our back window came. ODD. Somebody coming around that late at night. In a rural area. . .

It turned out to be a junior high school kid who gave the story that his parents had kicked him out, taken his cell phone. He was walking from one town to another and as it was so cold & late, he saw the hubby out with the dogs and decided to stop to ask for a ride. Hubby asked if the kid could call his friends in Spirit Lake, but the kid didn't know their phone number. Another odd thing. Hubby looked up the kid's friends' last name on 411- no listed number. Another odd thing. Hubby came in and talked to me, wanted me to go with him. So I got my jacket on, hubby picked up his gun to tuck into a jacket pocket and we went outside. The kid had vanished!

Now we got suspicious. Did he have friends out there in a car, hidden away and had tried to pull a prank? The hubby will help just about anybody. I am more questioning. Why did the kid just leave? It was all very odd & scary.

We then drove in both directions. Did not find the kid. Another odd thing! So I told the hubby to call the police. A cruiser came out at about 10:45PM with a police woman. She took the hubby's info. Told us this is the time of year when school is almost finished & kids will get into arguments with their parents. Typical teenage runaways.

However, BRAVO decided to poop out weird stuff in the living room. I got that cleaned up & as I examined it, appeared to be long strands of grass; afterwards I went to look for him. Mr. Bravo was in the kitchen acting weird. I picked him up, AND HE HAD AN 18" PIECE OF POOP CORD hanging out his butt! Gross. This dog is gross. Just gross. He eats bad stuff and tries to poop it out. He is disgusting.

So, I opened the back room door to where the hubby & the police officer were talking and excused myself for interrupting, but told the hubby that he would have to assist in pulling out the poop cord as I did not want to damage B's internal organs. The officer just laughed & laughed. Hubby pulled out the rest of the POOP and we disposed of it in a bag. Sorry, folks. No pics!

But Cheesers is doing well. He only woke me up once in the night at 3:00AM. Hubby got up and took over the 6:00AM feeding. Cheesers is pooping out quite large turds for such a small kitty. He also peeing on his own as evidenced by the yellow stains on his rags. It appears that he might just make it to maturity!

Angus is making excellent progress in her potty-training. She will come get me, bark, or stand by the door. Only very rarely does she get really excited when playing and accidentally pee. I am so proud of her for her improvement.
