Doctor! ...It's ALIVE!!!

I'm alive. Thank you all for waiting, sorry it took so long. I'm almost all here, except for the five pounds of fluids (give or take) that have fled. I'm all proud of myself, as I actually had lunch today. The whole thing! My appetite is returning.

Other excitement:
- litterbox is smelly. Partly due to new "ultra-scented" cat litter. This may not be an improvement on the previous, already ultra-scented, used litter.
- vet appointment on Sunday morning. Must remember to collect specimen for vet to inspect.
- also breakfast with Jill and Joe Sunday morning. Must remember to wash hands between specimen-collection and breakfast.
- Mark and Becky are joining us for dinner on Sunday. Busy day. Yay for the slow-cooker, which will make dinner the easiest part!
- Action Cat appears to be getting his ass handed to him in the occasional scraps between him and Lucky, despite his 50% weight upperhand.

Funny

You know those moments that turn from funny to shitty in seconds? I just caught one before it turned shitty! (for nihilicious: literally!)

I removed the clumped litter from the litterbox, and went to drop the garbage bag down the garbage chute. This only takes 10 seconds, so I left the cover off the litterbox. When I returned to the laundry room, Action Cat had taken up residence in the litterbox lid. He hadn't done anything yet, so I was able to remove the lid from his head, and place it on the box, which he then climbed into. Another few seconds though, and that would have been trouble.
