Friday, January 4, 2013 Who takes the cat downstairs?

From supper time on both last night and tonight, Mac has been a bit off target...last night it was his bank statement which he thought he had never seen.... ever...it took a couple of hours to get over that, then it took about another 20 minutes or so plus a phone call from Valerie to convince him that I was who i am...his wife Janet...then during the night he woke up completely disoriented and really angry about something, which he got over within minutes and went back to sleep, hurrah...Woke up in the morning his usual happy self, and so went the rest of the day.  BUT..

At supper time tonight he couldn't remember who would look after the cat.  When would the person come to give him his nightly snack and take the cat  to bed.  After several attempts to clarify that the person does not come over, the person is ME, and I live here; he let that matter drop, until he said - "now  Who takes the cat downstairs...I take him down stairs....stated by myself in no uncertain terms, he said, "oh well that's what I've been wondering about.'   Then surprise, the cat started to wail away....what is this all about I wondered, does the cat understand what we're talking about here...well no

Turns out, we had the sweetest little cat pressed against our patio door trying to get warm..a ginger cat with a little white bib..and there was our big aggressive tiger of a cat hunched up fur upright  hissing and wailing away at the poor little guy...we tried to entice our Mischa away from the door, well, that was a big problem, no way did he want that cat near our patio...so afte awhile we decided, neither cat can get through the glass so we left them be.. i checked the situation out ten minutes ago...and the little ginger cat has gone...hope he remembers where he lives.  ..our cat certainly does, although his master has a problem with that...and may have another place to live in the future ..which is another story...to be continued.

In the meantime right now all is well..and as we in our support group keep saying, live in the moment, and so we do try and so  at the moment all is  quiet, calm and peaceful, so time to say g'nite.
