Ratfarts! Despeckle WHAT Now?

I want to make it clear before we begin that I started the three day weekend by putting my knee through the screen of my Amazon HD Fire 10" tablet. An unnamed kitten had moved it under my blankets on my bed and I literally went into my bedroom and onto my bed going "Where did I put my --...

Ratfarts! Once Upon a New Year…

I return after quite a long absence, again. Things are better. I'm contracting for a major tech company. The 15 remaining cats are fine. I'm still dealing with Romeo's death. I've never had a pet impact me like this before. It's best not to dwell, but I'm not over it. Right now I'm keeping busy, it's a Sunday afternoon and...

Ratfarts! Sunday Morning

It's early Sunday morning and I'm not doing as well as I'd like. It was a hard week and things are on my mind. I'm up, of course, to feed the cat, which is now feed the cat and kittens. The (seven) kittens heard me stirring and were about to open the door on their own when I brought the...

Ratfarts! Changes

It's 4:30AMish and I'm up to feed a cat that's been dead for a couple of days now. Patterns are hard to change, though the kittens (we have 7 since no one wants kittens right now) were awake and waiting for me to bring their food when I opened the door to their room. They're between 4 and 4 1/2...

Ratfarts! Goodbye, Romeo

Yesterday I had to make the decision to have one of my best friends put to sleep. His name was Romeo. Romeo showed up on the front porch as a juvenile cat (about a year old) back in 2011 (I can't believe it's been that long), and immediately worried me because he had a runny nose. I had never seen...

Ratfarts! Too Much Going on in My Brain

There's much too much going on in my brain tonight. It's 5:33am on Sunday, January 28, 2018. I'm sick with some sort of fluid in my lungs and I'm on a steroid treatment to fight it for the first time in two years. They used to give me steroids to fight ear infections. They haven't been doing that since it's...

Ratfarts! New Year’s Eve 2017

It's been a long time. I don't really know where to start, nor do I know why you're looking here since we've been dormant for so long. I'd shoo you away, but that'd be rude so I guess it's time for updates. I landed the dream job about a month after my last entry. Everything I had been working towards...

Ratfarts! Thanksgiving 2015

So, this is Christmas, err, Thanksgiving, and what have you done? Another year older and now you weight a ton... It's Thanksgiving morning 2015 and I'm awake. I'm not sure why I'm awake but I am. In usual fashion, I'm not scheduled to work until much later today and I got up to feed the cats, use the bathroom and...

Ratfarts! Reflecting on Mid-Years Past

I hate this time of year.  The days are getting longer and longer, it's getting hotter and hotter and frankly, everything is at an odd angle for two or three months until mid-summer and then the world starts making sense again. Something bad always happens this time of year. Last year, well, it was a big loss that really hurt...
