No. Thanks for asking.
They actually finished the cement work in one day, and we were able to walk on it the next day.

Oh that's good. I'm happy you weren't stuck there for so many days. What a relief.
I'm in Newark right now and it's so rainy and stormy here. Are you also getting some bad weather? Stay warm and safe

Hi Clarice. I hope you are getting all the rest you need and a bit more. :bighug: I love your mindful posts.
Hopefully his cat treat puzzle will help. He has another one he's getting for Christmas.

I was trying to think of what else I could have with my dinner that could soak up the sauce or whatever. I bought some rice yesterday at Aldi's. It's so hard to find chicken flavored rice without pasta mixed in and not an "instant" already moistened rice, but Aldi's has it. I haved shopped there since the pandemic. And of course I picked up some more asiago bagels for myself.

My cats have all been leash trained for 25 years. Jackson doesn't like being on a leash and he tries to run home and pulls on the leach until he starts coughing like a dog that pulls on a leash. Jackson is afraid of not being able to run when "he needs to" I think. A few years ago, Ginger and Jackson used to sit out (loose) on the lawn in front of my condo on a big beach towel while I sat out there with them and visited with my neighbors when the weather is nice in the evenings. Twice he went wandering just as it got dark outside. The first time it took me 45 minutes to find him and I told him okay no more outisde until July. The second time he wandered off as it got dark outside and my neighbors and I search for him for 90 minutes. He's black and the darkness was black. I told him that time no more outside until next year. After Ginger passed two years ago I didn't let him out anymore. Recently, I let him out just a little bit with me standing there with him, and he'll stay with me in front of my deck for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes and then he heads to the door to be let back in. Sabrina wanted to go out too, so I cautiously let her out along with Jackson. After a couple of minutes I would say loudly "Treats!" and they would run back into the house for their treats always given right away.
The construction has been completed, but I'm still scared of letting Sabrina out. I'll probably wait until she is used to walking in her new harness and may wait to try again next spring or summer.

Dyana, I am so late, but here I am! Thank you for your message and words 🤍
I had a lot going on, but things are starting to settle down now.

I think those cat treat puzzles you use seem really cool. I've never tried one myself. Let's see if Jackson won't also like the other option you choose for your dinner... He's so clever that I wouldn't put anything past him! :joyful:

It's so so nice that your cats are leash-trained. Amazing. I would really love to do the same with Mami Cat when the time is right. I've always wanted to take her for walks in very quiet places, where she wouldn't get too frightened.

I understand that it's risky for Jackson to be without a leash because he tends to "disappear" for a while... and that he doesn't like wearing one. So I think you, being the one who knows him well, are in the best position to decide what's safest and best for him. 🤍 As for Sabrina, though, once she gets used to going for walks with her new harness, I imagine she'll love having the freedom to go out in the open, while staying by your side and under your watchful eye. From reading your posts, I've got the impression that she really likes to explore the outdoors!! 💓

Sending love to both of them 🥰 ❤️ and a hug to you 🥰

(( I'll check in sometime in the future to see if Sabrina has gotten used to her harness and is enjoying her outdoor walks with you 😉 ))
