You expect your 2 year old who is getting a brand new baby brother to comfortably sleep in another room (away from mommy and daddy)with a very sick cat that makes random noises throughout the night? I think your priorities are a little off there. No person whether young or old should have to sleep with a littler box in their room. I've been woken by a crying cat (neighbor's) before and that had to have been one of the worst things ever. Also, I think that cat is too sick to have anywhere near a newborn. I'm all for loving pets but kids' well-being should always come first.Luvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-36701379009028755972009-05-19T06:30:00.000-07:002009-05-19T06:30:00.000-07:00Are you new?

(I guess you could say I'm using irony here too... Sort of. Because some of it *is* fun. But some of it isn't. Yeah.)<br />Anyway - I'm looking forward to pictures. (and wishing I had some milk so I could make some muffins. Damn it, muffins sound delicious right now.)<br /><br />Second - Erin is *adorable* I'm sure you hear that all the time, but seriously dude. You have got one uber-cute kid. (Well, hopefully two uber-cute kids by the time you read this.)<br /><br />Third... Poor kitty. I have two cats who both vomit pretty frequently, but theirs is usually because they ate too fast - so it's little logs of undigested cat food that I get to clean. Not really too bad (in comparison to what you deal with at least.) No, my main problem is my younger cat... I did 3 loads of laundry yesterday - had them all in one basket. I was getting ready to fold them, but had to step out of the room for a minute. I came back, and my fucking cat was sitting in the basket, squatting on my clean clothes... Pissing. Yay me! (Now that? Irony.)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378921984835830938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-7266895236119484542009-05-17T12:38:00.000-07:002009-05-17T12:38:00.000-07:00Congratulations!

Bad enough that he coughs up hairballs every time I turn around and I can only feed him a tiny handful of dry food at a time because if I give him too much he scarfs it all up and then pukes.
