Kitty (and human) FAIL

Why it was that Random was the only cat who went to the vet today:



(Yes, that blur on the beam above is a small black cat.)

Luckily, the one cat I was able to capture was Random, since he's the one who really needed to go to the vet, to get his shots and a travel certificate. He mightily resisted going into the cat carrier, but I eventually prevailed, albeit with a minor chomp at the base of my thumb. He's going to New York on Saturday, to live with txanne. This is the draconian (but ultimate, I hope) solution to the cat wars. I could deal with the cat fights, but not the territorial peeing. I suspect that Morwen, the one who's staying with me, is the primary culprit, but I really hope it'll end once they've been separated.

Dr. McMenomy says that Random is healthy, albeit very obese, which is another reason to separate them. Morwen is on the skinny side, and feeding them apart was almost impossible.

Poor Random. I found out today that they're replacing my bedroom windows next week, after not doing it for a year. GRRRRR. Poor boy. I suppose I'll make him a nest in the linen closet, which is in the bathroom, and hope I can lure him into it.

This is a very silly and random question, but I absolutely adored that block of white cheddar that was in the consuite during the Conjecture dead dog party. One would think I would have bothered to note the brand name, but one would be wrong. Do you know where it was procured from, or who brought it? I want to buy fifty million pounds of it.

The cheddar was there during much of the rest of the convention, too -- we went through four pounds of it. I'm glad you liked it.

I'm pretty sure that was the Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar (in two-pound blocks) from Costco. It's very reasonable, at $7 or $8 per block. I tend to go back and forth between that one and another sharp cheddar (also sold by the two-pound block) that Costco sells, which has black plastic packaging.

It's excellent with Branston Pickle, which (alas) Lund's has stopped carrying, so I will need to obtain it as a specialty purchase.

Thank you! I'm not sure how I missed it all weekend, but I'm glad I did -- it was like a hidden treasure at the end of the con. I can't wait to get some more!
