Not Busy ...

I love this theorem:

"In quantum physics, if something is not forbidden, it necessarily happens with some non-zero probability," says Alexander Vilenkin of Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Somebody sent me a Christmas advent calendar. I made a neat box out of it and the kitties are enjoying it. It has little windows and doors they can stick their paws through.

I have been stocking up in case of winter catastrophes. I built a supply of gallon jugs of distilled water. The cats get ONLY distilled water now. So does my coffee. The water defeats most chances of the cats getting UTI. One gallon lasts about one day. At 97 cents a jug, it beats the heck out of a $235 vet visit.

I think this early winter freeze is an omen of things to come.

I have am using filtered water for kitty that is filtered through the refrigerator door. This is not enough?

I'm so grateful to be spared such drastic solutions to daily living. We only have to do that during hurricanes. I remember one time in NYC, not being able to open my street level door at the loft because there was a snowbank shoveled on to it. That was a worry since Jay was bedridden and emergencies couldn't be handled under those conditions. I don't know what an advent calendar is. Would your use of it offend the sender? Is it a religious thing? Works for me.

An advent calendar is a large cardboard and paper thing with little doors and windows you can open each day of December that have a religious or seasonal message revealed behind the flaps.

I am anxiously awaiting the storm cellar and plan to stock it up with
water and canned food. I thought the FEMA grant would never come.

We're getting ready to hit the road for points west. Miss Priss is acting like she might be coming down with a UTI - too much kitty box time - I'm keeping an eye on her.

Stop feeding your kitty tap water. Use distilled only.

Oh and why does distilled water help prevent cat Uti's?
comment by kristilyn3 on Nov 20, 2014 2:15 PM ()
It is essential to give male cats distilled water.I did not know this until we experienced two very serious UTI's. Tap water has salts (chlorides) that become crystals in urine and irritate or block the urinary tract. Distilled water has no minerals that can cause crystals. It is good for humans, too. I now use distilled water to make my coffee. The results are not apparent in me but my coffee maker does not have any of those white specks that show up when you run a cleaner such as white vinegar through it.
