We ended up getting TGIFriday's. I had this ultimate june bug drink and it was yummy. Before hand he took me to Border's and bought me a very cool, illustrated i-ching deck. I'm very stoked. I'm all about the new divination cards. Just got to get the hang of using them and figure out what is the best method for me.
My cat is pissing me off again. I do love her but I don't know what to do about her. Her latest is pissing in the same spot. This time I'm pretty sure it was because I shut her out of my bedroom. Nevermind it was only for like 3 seconds that I was in there... I put her in the bathroom. I growled and hissed at her. I made her lie on her back. Yeah, I'm an asshole. I made my cat submit. I'm at my wit's end. I'm calling Monday to get her an appointment at the vet's office. I switched her to wet food as per the advice of s5 (and I'm VERY greatful for that advice!). She seems to be happier about the food. Even sat with me on the couch. And for her that is an oddity. That was pre-pissing, though. Maybe I'm mean for making her submit but I need her to know that she is not the boss. And she really responded well to it. She turned into a virtual rag doll and just let me do what I wanted. I made her look at me too. I pet her too. I'm leaving her in the bathroom until after a friend of mine visits. She has a baby who is allergic to cats (I changed my clothes, too). When my friend leaves I'll go back in, put her on her back in my arms (affectionate yet submissive position) and pet her and then let her out after we talk about where its appropriate to potty. We also tried some new litter and will be switching back to the messier stuff she's used to. So much for that one. I'm telling you. I'm giving it a while longer, but if we cannot find a resolution we'll have to find a family she blends better with. For the record I will NOT take her somewhere she would ever be hurt at (no shelters or dumping or anything). *sigh* I also commit to trying to find something that works for us and makes us be able to live together.
