here kitty, kitty

when jon got home from work sunday we drove out to his parents’ house in gastonia (about 40 minutes away) to check on their kitties and water their plants. they’re in l.a. this weekend at jon’s cousins’ daughter’s christening. they got a fabulous e-saver for $125 each round trip so they couldn’t pass it up. anyway, we filled up their food & water & fed the fish & watered plants then had to do a head count to make sure none of the cats had gotten out or whatever. so we found andy, joliette, fenwiette, figaro, bob, oliver’s being boarded….so we’re missing sparky. yep, that’s right…they have 7 cats. seven. that’s just sooo many. i have to take a benadryl before we go over there or i swell up like nobody’s business, and we have 2 cats! it’s just that with 7 they can’t control the cat hair. it’s everywhere. i forgot to take anything yesterday so we were speed racers trying to get out of there. they would have 8 cats but one died last fall, lambert. they are really sweet cats, but man. 7? see, that’s why you have more than 1 child, and lots of hobbies. so when you get old you don’t fill your house to the brim with felines. their vet bills are outrageous! one cat is almost blind, one has allergies & one has herpes. ay yi yi. we finally found sparky hanging out under the piano upstairs so we could go. i sneezed all the way home.
