Ahhh...it's that time of the yr when we change the time back. Over here we did this already last Sunday. You can have that extra hour of sleep. Of course that can only happen if u are told about the time change.
It has been raining out and when it rains Shelia doesn't poop. So she is waking up to go out a half hour early. Not a big deal. I take her for a walk it's quite only a few cats are out. I feed them go home feed the troops inside and turn on my computer to do a few things in my store, and see the time is not six but only five. That's when i realise we changed the clocks. Since then everything has been down hill. I'm going to give it a good week or so before everybody is on track. I HOPE!!! Which leads me today.
Tony wakes me up to eat at two. He won't leave me alone so i get up and feed him. At 3:30 he's sitting on my side table. You know that feeling you get when somebody is looking at you. I open one eye and he is staring at me. I try to close it and go back to sleep but he starts tapping me on the head..."mommmm i see u are awake, I'm still hungry" for some reason that brought over Shelia with her tail banging against the patio door. I tell her to go lay down and go back to sleep. She listens but Tony keeps staring at me. "what, what, do u want????" "I'm still hunggggry" "u just ate, in a little while i'll give u more." So he stays and sits at the table and now starts to purr. He has a very LOUD purr. That's OK it is calming, but my husband on the other hand, is on my other side snoring. So I'm laying there between them listening to purr...snort snort snort...purrr...snort snort snort...and I'm thinking i think i hate men/boys at this moment. I finally drift off to sleep for a few Min's when Tony started banging on the edge of the bed, again that brought Shelia over so i got up threw them both out the door and closed it. Now wait that doesn't stop. Now i have Tony scratching and banging on the door, for the next half hr. I left him and finally fell a sleep for an hour before i had to go walk Shelia. When i finally did get up everybody but Cleo was sitting around the door. I got dressed and went to walk Shelia. When i left the house i told them i would feed them when i got back.
Go out our building and Grandma (Zoe's grandma) and big head (black) is waiting for me to feed them. I give them food and down the block comes running six toes, and she is screaming at me. "your late, your late" turn the corner and her brother is waiting as well. Fed them and moved on. But six toes decided to come with, the whole time she is talking to me about one thing or another. She is very sweet. Most of the time she just wants to get petted and I'll stay around a few Min's just to pet her and give her some attention. But i do worry about her she is always crossing the street without looking. We move on and at the bakery corner is my other two that wait for us and walks with us to there feeding spot. Everybody has a spot they like to eat at. There's so many (15-25) that i feed i sometimes forget where each one likes it. I like to give each one some food, that way they don't have to fight with anybody or wait and hope to get something. I also like to give each one a little bit of attention and pet them. They eat it up. They like rubbing up against my nose or put our heads together before they eat there food. That is when there on the fence. On the ground they rub against my legs.
We cont. on our rounds and get to the museum where i almost tripped over a guy sleeping on the sidewalk. I finish feeding the troops around there and down the streets comes TUX he's a black and white big boy who likes to slap Shelia. Of course he doesn't miss a beat and runs up slaps her and rubs against me. Today he decided to follow us around the block. When i looked behind me he wasn't the only one. There was four more following as well. Gave them all food and they stayed but, for Tux who in his wisdom keeps picking on Shelia. Slapping her in the face...hitting her tail, slapping her ass...finally she had enough growled and snapped at him. He jumped back in surprise "what?? what???..i thought u liked that?" Shelia's gave him the evil eye and he calm down and just followed us till the corner when he got sidetracked with something else.
We are now on the way home two blocks to go. Step off the curb and step in dog shit, isn't that SPEICAL!!! I was just glad it wasn't fresh. When we get close to home here comes screaming six toes who kinda dropped off on her own 20 Min's before. Now she is talking again and out comes calico and a new one i only had seen one other time. Very cute, small, a calico also but, a muted one like Cleo. Pet everybody, feed them and went in the building. Open the door and i have my four sitting by there empty bowls tapping there foot. They don't look happy with me... "what the hell we are starving here" feed them and Shelia. Get the coffee started and go to turn on the computer. By this time Zoe and Jack are running around my legs trying to smell my pant legs. "hey wait, i know that smell, Zoe check this out" I'm trying to walk and jack is grabbing at me to stand still. I let them smell for a few Min's and than off they went. I go into the computer room on my book case where ever there was a paper hanging out is now chewed off and laying on the floor. The bag of crackers on my desk have teeth marks, and there is Tony watching me. "see what happens when u don't feed me???" I left it all lay there to show my husband what one of "HIS BOYS" did.
Yup, i can't wait for everybody to get back on track and maybe I'll get some sleep...yeah (snort) like that is really going to happen!!!
