i can say for certain that spring time is near here in Florida. the wild flowers are popping up everywhere, and the dandelions are taking over. the weeds have started to grow, and the folks that run a lawn service are out everyday now. i know that all the cold has not passed. there will be a few more days of cold.
i might sound crazy saying this after it got down to freezing last night, but it's time. it has been a terrible winter crossed the country, and if spring doesn't come to us,........then it will not come to anybody.
i reckon another sign that spring is almost here is the fact that my precious female cat turned into a slut this week. she went from being a virgin to an all out ho!! that's what they call girls that act like that in the city that i live in.
for some reason i've never had a female cat before, and i wasn't prepared for this adventure. i was shocked at her behavior. in all my 47 years of life i have never even thought that this was possible,but.........i was wrong!! this little vixen brought in all the male cats in Jacksonville!! i've never saw the cats in our neighborhood that i did this week. i don't understand why they were fighting, because she just gave it to all that wanted a slice.
I'm thinkin' that when a cat goes into heat that it's psychological, and not physical. she seemed to be loosing her mind. i could say anything to her, and she would move in a very strange way. it was like that she was convulsing with every sporadic move that she would make. she didn't even look like the cat that i had known. her eyes even changed to a look like nobody was home.
the only time that she even came inside this week was to eat. she would head straight to the food dish, and eat her fill, which was a lot less than normal. then she would head back to the door, and let out this loud long cry that i had never heard before. she stayed outside all this week, because she was getting on my last nerve with those cries. she did nothing but roll around in front of all the tom's all week.
well,.........I'm happy to report that everything is back to normal now. she is acting like my ole' lovable cat again. she went back to hunting today, so I'll have a house full of lizards by night fall.
then there will be the issue of kittens to tend with. i guess that it's a law of nature that she has a mess of them, but it's not my law to keep them!! i will make sure that they find good homes where people will love them, but i really don't need anymore mouths to feed right now. i might change my mind once that i see them, and hang on to the whole lot!! i have a real soft heart for animals, but right now i'm not even sure where my fate lies. oh well,..........i guess time will tell.
........much love
