Martini?

Dippy loves to drink her water out of cups. Our cups of water if we leave them sitting around. We first thought that she just preferred drinking out of a cup rather than a bowl. But even after we switched both of her water dishes to bowls she was still drinking out of our cups.

Eventually we realized that Dippy also really likes is fresh water. You may think that this was an obvious discovery, but when we went out and bought one of those fancy cat water fountains she didn't seem to care for it. She ignored the fresh flowing water for the cup of water sitting next to it.

Once I realized that Dippy liked fresh water best I started a new bedtime routine. Every night I fill up a cup of water for myself and Dippy stares at me. So I started filling up a cup for her too. So every night I would bring up a cup for her and leave it at the top of the stairs.

In the morning I bring down my cup and the 2 nights ago water cup and the last nights water stays there all day.

Of course Dippy is a cat. She doesn't drink a whole cup of water every day. And I have to fill the cup to the top so that she can reach the water more easily though she will stick her head all the way into our cups sometimes.

I started to feel bad about wasting so much water every day so I wanted to find a smaller water holder.

Now we switch back and forth between a small glass bowl and a glass that holds less water than our drinking glasses...

Ralphie 2

Someone called today and saw our sign about Ralphie. She said the owner lives downstairs in her building. She left her a note about Ralphie, and they she (the owner) left a note saying she didn't want him back!

I'm so sad! How could she not want him back?

Ralphie

This is Ralphie. He's cute, isn't he?

Dippy!

Here are some pictures of Dippy and one of Toby too so you don't forget what he looks like. Look at that cute little piece of hay on his nose.

I have a cat!

Morgan brought our cat home! She is wonderful. She's been in the house for about15 hours now and is much calmer. But unfortunately she hasn't used her litter box yet. That makes me nervous. I'll have to go on a "scavenger hunt" to make sure she hasn't been using a corner somewhere.

Let me tell you about Dippy. She's 8 years old. According to her old vet in New Hampshire her name is "Dippy Doo", she's a Domestic Short Hair cat. She weighs 8 pounds. She's orange and white and has freckles on her nose.

So far she doesn't seem very interested in Toby which is a good thing. I'll have to take a picture of her and show you.
