So I Hung My Head and Cried

Filed Under Chloe | 7 Comments

We had to give my cat away today. It was a sad day. I haven’t blogged about it at all because it’s just been too sad. I’ve known it was coming for a long time. Since Bailey was born, she started peeing and pooping randomly all over our downstairs. (Which thankfully is about to be recarpeted anyway!) We have tried everything to re-train her, the vet suggested a few things as well but they haven’t worked. She has been living in our laundry room for over a week now and she just breaks my heart crying in there, but if we let her out she is a little booger. And she does NOT like to go in her cat carrier- I have seriously thought about getting some sort of travelpro carrier for her!

So today Jonathon took her to the animal shelter. I tried all kinds of pet rescue groups and they were all full. Please pray that she gets adopted by someone without kids and can be happy there. I know we did all that we could, but it is just a sad way to end almost seven years together. *Sob*

Update- Bailey is 18 weeks old already!

Bailey holds her head up so well lately. She has also gotten quite proficient at rolling over in the past few days. She loves to sleep on her tummy now. I still put her down on her back, but as soon as I put her down, she rolls over. She snuggles up to the side of the crib (always the same side, by the wall) and goes right to sleep. Also she really has figured out what to do with her toys now. She can hold onto them and put them in her mouth. If she drops them, she fusses until Mommy picks them up.

I thought this one was cute because I was playing with Bailey on my bed and Chloe came in to see what we were doing. This used to be where we would play with her and snuggle with her. She probably wanted to know why Bailey was getting all the attention…poor kitty. Anyway if you look closely in the background you can see Chloe watching.

Bailey loves to play with my shirts lately. This one especially, because of the strings. Here she had just finished nursing. But while she’s eating, she clutches the front of my shirt with her hand. She’s such a lovey.

This was Sunday before church. Bailey was wearing her necklace from her Great Grandma for the first time. I was trying to get a good picture of it but she was being kind of goofy.

Anyway, that’s about all around here lately. Jonathon and I are going on a little ice cream date tonight. Kind of– we’re bringing Bailey with us. I like to give her little tastes of the ice cream and Jonathon yells at me every time. By little tastes, I mean like a speck Then tomorrow night we are hosting my mom’s b-day dinner at our house. Saturday, we are both working childcare at church for a big training thing on Saturday morning. That will be some nice extra income!

Pet food?

I haven’t heard anything recently about the pet food contamination crisis. We have a cat (fat little thing named Chloe) and although she really pisses me off sometimes, I would be sad if something happened to her. My friend Sarah’s cat, Radar, actually DIED from that cat food when all that was going on. I don’t know specifically what kind… but I know a lot of people were switching to organic dog food and stuff when that was going on. I am curious how many people have switched back to their old kinds of food by now. I kind of considered feeding Chloe something else for a while, but then I remembered how EVERYTHING makes her throw up! So I took my chances… that really sounds bad… but anyway I was so sad for my friend who lost her kitty to that food.
