The Truth is Worse...

Yesterday morning Jacob came up to the door. Yelled for food or attention like usual. I walked him to the apartment we were led to believe is home to Jacob... Maintenance had told us one apartment, but those tenants had been there a year and didn’t know the cat.... Neighbor kid said it was a few apartments down that actually owned the cat. Went there (as I have been for the past few days off and on with Jacob) and no one was home. Okay, probably at work... Kept walking to the main office, with Jacob right behind me. That poor boy will follow me everywhere.

Anywho... When I got there... The girl in the office had found out about him. Said 215 (first apt) had owned him years ago. Moved out and left him behind. 219 (second apt) wasn’t the owner... He like us, just fed him. And like Mark (neighbor who adopted Tiger and almost adopted Pixie), sometimes let him inside. He was just like us... Feeding a stray he felt sorry for. And all this time Mom and I have been sooo mad at him and calling him names.... Thankfully he didn’t hear them, but I am sorry we did call him names as he’s not the one responsible for poor Jacob’s situation.

So the real person we should be mad at is the one who moved out and just left Jacob. Why? Because he was an indoor/outdoor cat and they thought he’d be okay? I guess he was when he had a running mate (this one cat who was even bigger than the bigboy Jacob is and looked like Oreo says Mom).... But his friend’s owner moved out shortly after we got here to a house (yay for them). So Jacob lost his human family and his feline friend. He’s just been getting lonelier and lonelier.

If we had a carrier.. Maybe we could take him to a rescue or a shelter. Yeah he’s being fed... But he’s unhappy. He keeps coming to us more and more just for me to give him some loving. Wish someone would adopt him. Mom thinks he’d make a nice companion for an older person. Jacob’s not a young cat, so he’s grumpy sometimes. Has an older person’s personality that she thinks will work with an elderly person. Like they’ll keep each other alive by fiesty-ness alone.

Ah well.... Fluffy stopped coming around. But supposedly the management is trying to catch and rid the apartments of strays. Haven’t seen Midnight or the Godfather in ages either. Godfather I HOPE found his home. I had put up flyers and after that day, never saw him again. Midnight I dunno about.. Maybe he got adopted or caught. Leaves just Baby and Jacob that we feed. From the near ten strays we fed a year ago to just two. Good for me... It was getting kinda crazy before. But now we don’t feed feral strays... Jacob and Baby are practically family. We’d even take Jacob in if we thought Oreo wouldn’t mind... which he does... They hiss at each other through the screen door. Ah well.... C’est la vie....

Lies! All Lies!

(attempt number two... ~curses cancel button~)

Okay... so lately... I don’t check Myspace that often. Bad me and whatever.... But I come on here and I see New Blog Posted in the red box.... Oh joy! I love reading people’s blogs... Open up my blog home page... Nada..... Why!? Why Myspace do you lie to me!!!! I smile at the thought of reading someone’s blog and poof bang nothing.... Le sigh.... Anywho.. Enough of that silliness.....

I have a confession... I’ve grown addicted to these little game/applications on Facebook... Ssshhh... Don’t tell Myspace. Hmm.. Maybe that’s why it’s been lying to me...... Anywho... I’m addicted to these games... And the only sucky thing is... Facebook eats a TON of my comp’s limited virtual memory. I end up having to restart if I play too long or access it too often. So I am bummed.. I have to schedule it as like the last thing I do online before shutting the comp down.

In kitty news.... Pixie’s learned getting loving (held and or scratched) is a GOOOOOD thing. She can’t get enough now... So now she wants TWICE as much attention... Not only lots of playing but also loving sessions. Oreo’s getting jealous. :P Now he’s always begging for loving... from Mom and I both. He’s usually a Mama’s boy (and by that I mean Mom not me).... Yeah we’re two mommies.. but I’m usually the "dad" in this lil furry family.. I play with them, I disicpline them... And I get to do their dirty cleanup work too... Yay that’s great... But lately, Oreo wants loving from even me... Usually I’m only good for playing. So yay for me getting affection from the baby boy.

They changed policy here. No more indoor/outdoor pets un supervised. No more feeding/boarding strays. Mom was like I hope that wasn’t directed at us! I laughed and told her about the lady on the end who keeps an open pet carrier with food and water dishes for strays.... Another person leaves SEVERAL water dishes out. Lots of the tenants feed strays. The one we HOPE will read the notice and follow it (hasn’t yet followed it) was the bastard who now owns Jacob. That poor cat spent most of the weekend outside our door. Starved most of the time.. I think the bastard went on vacation AGAIN. Jacob had to find shelter while it rained. We left a towel out for him to sit in during the day. Bastard was home yesterday and I didn’t see Jacob... I was relieved until I saw him again today. Poor Jacob. We’d adopt him if our babies and him got along... But he’s a big older cat... He needs a loving home.... I almost hope the traps the manager set catch him and he goes to the shelter. That will teach that bastard.

Mom and I have taken to watching Firefly and Serenity over and over and over again. Firefly was only on for one season so we’ll watch a few episodes a day and usually by the weekend we’ll watch Serenity. Addicted I tell ya. We love the show... Most of the episodes are our favorites... We love the crew... the chemistry they have.... The show’s got a lil bit of everything and we love it all! Once a week we’ll have watched it all.... We’ve been doing it for weeks on end now. We never get sick of it. :P Mom blames me... And we’re both the same... One of us will say we want to watch it and the other will say me too! or I was just thinking the same thing! It’s funny. It really is an awesome series and movie... Highly recommend all my friends and family watch it. ~nodsnods~

Oh and look at me babbling away.. Only came on to blurb about the blog thing. :p Anywho.. Toodles....
