kitty rebound

Luna seems totally back to normal today, not hiding under the dresser, curled up on the couch. She snuggled with me this morning. Played with the ball for a while. Watched the baby squirrels chase each other through the rhododendrons out the window. She's a tough lil cookie.

my squirrels planted me another pumpkin in the landscaping of the apartment! Last year I got delicata, I wonder what this variety will be? (I always toss out the pumpkin seeds into the yard outside when I roast pumpkins for pies in the fall.) Tempted to take the blossoms that I am guessing weren't pollinated during all the rain we've had this week, hmmmmm.

I've never successfully grown my own pumpkin from seed, but the squirrels always do a good job.

kitty stress.

Animal Abandonment Law and Legal Definition
Animal abandonment means leaving behind an animal alone or permitting the animal to be abandoned in circumstances which might cause harm to the animal. Owner of the animal is answerable for the suffering caused to the animal. This is a serious criminal offense in the U.S.

Got a super strange message forwarded from the people who were feeding the cat on their porch, that reads (partly) as follows: "I'm asking because I'm friends with the original owner. She just let me know Gomez has been missing, she's been dealing with post-partum depression for the past few weeks and didn't let anyone know what was going on"

:((((((((

Definitely not surrendering cat to a non-legit rando, but if Depressed Mom can verify chip info, and can describe details about Luna, what can I do?

(besides continue to over-eat and bloat myself uncomfortably. at least tonight it was over-eating seared nettles and tofu instead of entire bags of corn chips and chocolate bars. I feel so horrible.)

I am distraught.
