Yesterday's condo

WOO HOO!! What a nice flat cat I have today, so far anyway!!! Go China!!

We've had a fun morning so far too, with China playing one of her favorite games, "Hey Mom, I'm lost"" where she goes yowling through the house (like only a siamese can yowl) until I say "China, you're not lost", and then she comes running to me, jumps up, gives me a "chirp" and then launches back off to go yowling through the house again. She's played this game for as long as I can remember, but it's been awhile since she played it. After about 20 minutes of this game, she went to play another one of her favorites...knock everything off the counter, desk, end table, tv stand, etc. etc. etc. and watch it hit the floor. Once it hits the floor, she loses interest in it. Such a silly kitty! :lol:

Was hoping my week was going to be much slower but it's starting to get full again, especially because I have to get as much done as I can before having the knee surgery. DM wants to sell her home, so I have to go meet several agents to get some ideas on how much it might sell for, and then over the weekend, we found out that during a storm last week, quite a few of the shingles on her roof were blown off, so will have to go down there to meet the insurance adjuster. DM has started a list of things she wants from the house to go into the apartment we found for her too. I hadn't really thought this through when we started discussing her moving out of the Assisted Living center and into an apartment. Just the thought of setting up a brand new apartment with everything she'll need is overwhelming! Pots, pans, dishes, silverware, sheets, pillowcases, towels, mops, buckets, vacuum cleaner, cleaning products, clocks, pictures, etc, etc. etc.....At least I think we're just going to buy a new couch/chair since the ones at her house don't really fit into the apartment, but she's really looking forward to having at least one of her antique china cabinets, which means taking all the china out, wrapping it and then hopefully moving a rather large piece of antique furniture without breaking it. Oh well....guess we'll just do what we have to do. It IS nice to see her excited about something again though!

Well, guess I'd better pay attention to China for a few minutes...she's started another one of her favorite games...the "I'll stand in your way so you can't see the computer and you'll have to pet me" game.

Silly kitty!!

Hope you're all having a great Monday!! Sending healing vines to those who need them!

China sounds like such a sweetie! I love your game of yowling. I have seen the knock everything over and then ignore it after game at my house...also the stand in front of the monitor one :lol: . We also have the try to sleep on your keyboard while you try use it game, that hasn't been played since she got older though.

Sorry that you have such a crazy time ahead of you! I hope you can manage to get some help with all this. It's great your mom is excited though!

Sounds like you're having a great day with your kitty I hope you have an equally great evening!

How funny on the games. It's great China is feeling so playful. How nice that your mom is excited about something. I hope you can get all of the details worked out.

I think its the green that causes kitties to play knock everything off the counter, shelf and anywhere else I fit game! Scooter has resumed this game over the last couple of days.

It is so hard to help someone transition especially if you love them. Good luck with the planning.

I am excited China is happy!

Thanks for the visits!!

Glad China's not the only one who enjoys the "knock it off and then ignore it" game! As much of a pain that picking up after her is, at least I know she's feeling good if she's playing!! I'll take that anyday! She has been coughing a lot lately and that has me a little worried, so if I can figure out how to pay for it, I think I'd like to get her to the vet that did her dental (since she's the only ones around that is a member of the AAFP). Guess I'll add that to my list of things to do.

Been another busy day. DM has decided she wants her car back. She hasn't driven since August other than a couple of times with me or my son to see how she did (and she scared both of us to death) so since it IS her car, I'll take it to her, but I'm keeping the keys! She has no sense of where the car is in the lane anymore and spent more time in the wrong lane than the right one the last time we tried. I understand she thinks she's being too dependent on me, but as hard as it is to do her driving for her, it's better than planning her funeral from running off the road or into someone else. We'll have to see about this, that's for sure.

Got the insurance adjuster coming to her house in the morning to look at the roof, and another real estate agent coming about an hour later, and then both my son and I are going to go talk to her. She keeps telling us what she thinks we want to hear, and it's usually the opposite of what she told the other one.

Hope everyone has had a good Monday! Wishing you all healthy kitties and pretty blue and green numbers!!

What a nice day China has had - lots of games and attention, and now she's playing the "I don't want you to sleep tonight" game! Hope she gets tired of that one soon! :mrgreen:

Good luck with your DM's move. It's a lot of work at any time, but with your surgery coming up, you must really be running ragged. Don't forget to sit down and BREATHE every now and then!
