Wild Kitty

Posted at 9:21 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

Dinah has been very restless and talkative all of a sudden. She goes through little bursts of running around playing with her cat toys. And for the past couple of days she has started meowing for her breakfast even before the clock-radio goes off.

She comes over and meows at me while I'm working, too. She's part Siamese and has a voice that can peel paint when she's upset, but this is just conversational meowing, with occasional purring.

I wonder if the recent full moon got to her, or if she is reacting to the earlier sunrises. It could be she is just picking up my current stress levels.

She's not going to be happy about being left alone next week. But she'll be happier having the house to herself than if I tried to board her (she hates other cats).

Dinah has a filtered Drinkwell water fountain, with an extra water container. The combined containers hold more than enough water for a week. She also has a Catmate 5 Meal Feeder with a timer that will open her meals at approximately the right times. I could set it to feed her once a day for about 4 days, but I'll be gone longer than that, and she is used to eating breakfast and supper, so I'll set it for 12 hour intervals and arrange for someone to come in mid-week to check on her and refill the feeder.
