Gobbles started his kissiness this morning; I thought it was later than 6:15 or I would have "dug in" under the covers.... Anyways, he's in usual Gob fashion with the kissy, purry, TP routine; he had a good breakfast then preened and now is incessantly trying to get the door open. I really think I may have created a monster when I started taking him outside. Although I know it's good for his FD, so I don't have too big a problem with it, other than when he digs and howls at the door in the middle of the night.

It was real funny yesterday what I did with him when I was pulling weeds and cleaning the deck: hooked his 20' lead to the clothes line, so he could do a bit of traveling in the yard on his own. He reminded me of a young, cutely clumsy & uncoordinated puppy.

We're re-planting our vegetable garden and some of the flowers that got frosted the other night; to compensate, we bought larger plants. No biggie as I love to plant. I have a pack of catnip seeds and Gobbles will supervise me planting them later.

Three more days to OTJ!!!! (paws crossed, paws crossed, paws crossed). This could not have ever been possible without FDMB; I sincerely thank Rebecca for this site, and all the members who have helped me on the path of the FD Journey. I thank God for all of you :-D

I can picture him gently moving along the clothesline!! I used to do that with one of mine years ago- gave me a chuckle. Happy planting :-D

Ohhh Kat thats what we did with Waldos lead. We strung a line from a tree in the tall grass he loved so much, to the back door. Our back door is always wide open. He could come in and go out at his leisure. Course, Waldo was older with heart issues so he didnt travel much but I think it gave him a sense of the old independant kitty he use to be.

I hope you dont mind me remembering him It's just when I read what you did for Gobs...I just felt the need to share. I hope Y'all dont mind.

Gobs and I intended to plant his 'nip crop, but DH & I went to our son's and then it started sprinkling. Funny thing though, I took Gobs out in the sprinkles and he actually didn't mind...but try to get him into the bathtub and he turns into a pathetic baby...paws crossed, we'll be celebrating in 3 days!!!! ...Gobs said he'll bring some 'nip for everyone...!!!

Oh gosh no Jeanne, I don't mind at all--I just love, love to hear stories about other kitties! He doesn't have access to an open door, but he does have a lovely redneck dog/cat house--a truck cap leaning sideways against the back of the house....I never leave him out there unattended and if he doesn't have enough sense to ask to go back into the house when it is getting hot out, I put him back in there myself! Thanks for sharing & visiting :-D I'm happy that my post brought such sweet memories of Waldo to you cat_pet_icon

It's lovely that Gobbles can have some time outside. I used to do that with my rabbit and she'd hop up and down the yard!

Is outside time proven to be good for FD? I gotta try that with Ang, if she'll let me.

What a sweet bunny! I do know that exercise is good for FD (same as for diabetic people), which Gobbles is getting by going outside. And also good for FD: keeping a kitty at a healthy & trim weight; Gobbles is really starting to plump up; he is back to his pre-dx weight (13.4 pounds = 13 pounds & 6 ounces) and really doesn't need to gain any more. If he goes over 13.5 pounds, I will keep an eye on and curtail his eating. It is so nice to see him gobbling his food up and enjoying it; for a while there, he picked at his food and I know he was not getting enough calories...

That little picture gives me the image of Gobbles going for it and running up and down the clothes line like the little black kitty. That would be great exercise Gobbles!

Thanks for the tips Kat. I might start putting the harness on Angie to get her used to it with the plan of walkies one day soon.

You're correct--that picture could be Gobbles running for it...then the lead would snap him back :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: like a rubber band :lol: :lol: :lol: So basically then, Angie will be taking YOU on a walk :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very true! I could try and teach her to heel, sit etc but I may as well face it from the start - she'll be teaching me to heel!
 
Day eleven, doing better than day 7.
