Stalking the (normally) Intrepid Cat

I paid the bills.  Then I kept sitting down and starting to write, and kept finding stuff to research or getting interrupted.

The worst is that my kid's cat turned his nose up at the canned cat food for the second time this week.  Today, after sniffing the plate, he went to hide in the basement after sniffing it. And the day in between, he licked the gravy off the bits and abandoned the rest. Now, every once in a while he fills up with kibble right before the canned food hits the floor, but never three days in a row. And it is NOT normal for him to go hide in the basement. Unless he's been disemboweling paper towel rolls or furniture, and a human is determinedly stalking him. Even then, he hides for maybe five minutes before sneaking out to find something fun to do.

So I guess I get to take him to a vet tomorrow. In a snowstorm.  And the cat carriers are stored in the attic. The very, very cold attic.

Today's image is a gift icon for my very first donor to the Fireborn project.  M, you know who you are.  I hope you like it!  I could redo the words easily enough, if you want something different.

Now I'll return you to your regularly scheduled Friends' Page, and try again to get some writing done.
