The
Cat Explaination
So far I've been getting two questions:
1. A cat? I didn't know you wanted to get a cat?! (i.e. the WTF
factor)
2. How do the hedgehog and the cat get along?
I'll give a couple quick answers for now - I'm heading out of town
after work tomorrow. Getting my cat over the cold, and myself over
the flu, and lots of work, I 'm low on time.
1. I had been thinking of getting a cat. No, it didn't make it to
the blog, so I'm sure Gunther's appearance was a surprise. Basically,
I looked around my new apartment and realized that there were so
many great places for a cat. And then I saw Children of Men and
really wanted to get a cat. I went back and forth and then went
to Minnesota, Land of Cat Enablers. 
Burgundy took me to the Humane Society on Saturday and I met a great
cat. I put him on hold overnight to do the gut check. The gut said
"get the cat!"
There's more story, but that's basically it. Burgundy and Mike were
a great big help - loads of great advice. Gunther is really fantastic
and I'm lucky his previous owners gave him up, so I could find him.
2. Gunther is a cat who does cat things, like gently pawing at Numo.
Numo is a hedgehog that does hedgehog things, like huffing when
Gunther paws at him. They get along fine. I'm trying to train Gunther
to not paw. He's always gentle. Just persistent.
And as proof of some of the great cat spots in the apartment, I've
been documenting Gunther's favorite spots:
I've got one of these cubes waiting to be Gunther's bed. But he
chose the half cube that's 7"x15"x15".
On my desk
He also loves the tub.
This wood chair is just outside of my office. A good place for him
to plant himself while I'm mvoing around.

I've been completely laid out with the flu. Scary. Blechy. This
morning, I must have gotten distracted midway through combing my
wet hair. When I went to brush it later, the combed side was smooth
and flat. The neglected side became a big fuzzball.

Rats
 I went to a
meeting yesterday where a man was getting over a cough. Despite
a very relaxed evening cleaning the apartment, by bedtime I was
having coughing fits. Not making the connection, I chalked it up
as cat hair induced.
Today, I feel like a five course meal made of poo.
Meanwhile, Gunther
die Katze is mostly over his post-shelter cold. Just some sneezes.
Because I reflexively say "Gesundheit" whenever someone sneezes
in my presence, I fear the cat will think his name is Gesundheit.
Oh, did I mention, I talk to Gunther in pidgin German? Rusty from
high school. My favorite last night was "Meinen Katze habe vielen
Niesen." (My cat has many sneezes.)
While I had
a great time in Minnesota over my birthday, I still needed to do
my traditional birthday (i.e. solo Whim Day). I was going to do
that tomorrow, on my sister's birthday (coincidence). No go with
the creepy, cruddy feeling. Or I figure the Stay-at-home version
with loads of liquids.
I realized I had 3 DVDs due to the downtown library tomorrow. I
am lousy at asking for help, and thought of what to do. Finally,
after much hemming and hawing, I called Jim. He works downtown.
Without hesitation, he said he's swing by and pick them up! He and
Pat just came by. What sweethearts! I am truly fortunate with the
great friends I have.
 While I'm still
enjoy the NBC show Heroes, I'm officially ho-hum about Studio 60.
Looks like it's time to pop in a James Bond movie and zonk out.

Sneeze
Von Sneezerson
Gunther has a kitty cold. I got fair warning that a shelter cat
would very likely get the cat equivalent of "kennel cough" from
my sis and bro-in-law. Sure, enough after I made a new cat/new vet
appoint, Gunther's occasional sneezes escalated into coughing and
sneezing fits. He laid with me most of the night and I laid there
timing his noises. A cough every few seconds, a sneeze every 15
seconds or so. Poor guy.
Woke up to him looking worn out and breathing through his mouth.
I called the new vet and she said, "Can you bring him in now?" I
did. Thankfully his lungs were clear. He got him shots and meds.
He handled it all pretty well.
I'm wiped out from the lack of sleep and have a lovely, cuddly gray
cat draped on my bed. Guess what I want to do?
