Hurray for Sunday!

Sonny's at work today, and I'm in the house chilling. It's a muggy day, but most of the things I've got to do are indoor type things any way. The AC is going and the place is a good temperature.Today is going to be a good day for me, I can feel it. But already, I've had an altercation with one of our kitties, Serena.

She is very strong willed and all but refused to settle down into her room and finish her breakfast. She doesn't let me get within 50 feet of her, so when I tried to scoop her up and carry her there it became a mad dash around the house. I finally caught her, but not without three brief claw gashes on my hand. I can't deal with that one anymore. Every exchange we have involves a mad chase through the house, and it's worse if I'm late for work. She can tell I'm anxious to have her in her room and she enjoys hiding behind the couch at such times. I've been talking to Sonny (who agrees) that maybe she needs a change of environment and life. So, we're putting her up for adoption in the next month or so. Also, this will take care of the "new-home-territorial-pissing-and-shitting" match they each begin when we move.

It's sad because we rescued her, and in a sense she must now be rescued from us. Our other cat delights in random fights and butt sniffing at inappropriate times with Serena. Our Serena's face is now baggy-eyed and haggard. She looks constantly under stress and I know it's because she can't rest alone unless she's safe in her room with the door closed. She needs a new (catless) home. Possibly, if she were nicer the other cat would be the one to go. But alas, we are going to start a family soon (eventually) and I don't want to even dream of what Serena might find it in her heart to do to an infant seeking to yank her tail.

Anyway, my treat at the end of this day crammed with cleaning house, doing laundry, preparing a dessert for tomorrow's picnic, writing a couple letters, dancing for 30 minutes and balancing my checkbook is to sit down with a strong cocktail and watch at length "The life of David Gale". Yes, this should be an exciting evening... especially now that I've got that darned cat in her room. <_<
