Re: 3/3 Gabby AMPS~118, PMPS~207, +2~171
For those of you who have gotten to know Gabby as the kitty who cuddles with me in the mornings and gives me kitty kisses, my previous DPs (the feline vet nurse) was convinced that Gabby hated her. While I could probably hold Gabby upside down by her toes, the name Ms. Fractious is probably more suited to how she related to my former DPS (hissing, spitting, growling). Joyce, who's met Gabby, didn't get hissed at. Gabby just ignored her. It is highly unlikely that the DPS (the new one is a vet tech who has worked exclusively with cats and has even been responsible for the ferals that were brought to a local shelter) will be able to test Gabby without getting either scratched or bitten. I doubt that Gabby will allow her to pick her up, although, Gabby did allow her to give pets! DPS isn't staying here. She's just coming by to shoot.
Food has never been a problem while I've been away. I've left instructions for the feeder and catsickles. A friend who works across the street is going to stop by late in the afternoon to check on Gabby.
I will check in on the Board. I gotta know how all these kitties are doing! I'm also so used to being up late with Gabby that I doubt I'll be able to get to sleep early. I don't have to do any presentations at this conference so I can spend my time any way I want. And, there have been mornings when the Board has been busy that I've been able to post off of my phone. I've not been to Baltimore in years, which is where this meeting is located. Other than the aquarium, I have no idea what to expect. I do get to hang out with my professional network many of whom are good friends and colleagues.
