Still no knitting, but continued recovery. We got the shawl out and found darning needle and scissors. Ready to start. Archie came by, between assignments — he supports autistic people in the community. The cat continues to relax and to sit on my lap. She even purrs. Archie (who loves her) said that she will continue to be attached to Wafa who feeds her. Wafa continues to try to slim her down somewhat. I plead for my cat and sometimes secure another half-sachet for her.
I haven’t even read (still Richard Cobb in Tunbridge Wells) but I feel that that, too, is drawing closer.
Much restorative sleep. Restorative , I hope.
Wordle: a tricky one, I thought, but most of us got four, including me. Rachel distinguished herself with a three. There was uncharacteristic trouble in DC, however. Roger scored five, and Theo failed.
Am I remembering wrong? Was Wafa a vet or a dentist in her other life?
ReplyDeleteWeather turning warmish again.
ReplyDeletePerhaps some cat treats can be obtained for you to provide, so she also sees you as a source of food again. Glad you are home and settling in
ReplyDeleteBut not tooooo many treats or you'll undermine Wafa's efforts!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely that Wafa cares about Perdita's long term health. A small daily reduction in input will lead to a steady and gentle weight loss over time, and might reduce interest in both food and feeder. Perhaps you could work out the mid point between what Perdita has been getting at Helen's house, and what Wafa calculates is what the cat needs to lose excess weight, and feed that amount daily? Also sachet or tinned food is both tastier and easy to gulp down, so replacement of some of Perdita's "soft food" rations with biscuits might help her to moderate her own consumption. The dry food swells inside the stomach so you need much less than you think, to nourish a cat. You can soak a ration and see it swell as an interesting experiment.....it's quite thought provoking.
