Back again!
Last night was SUPER long. Yesterday Ike threw up an entire feeding, i freaked for a second and then just figured he ate too much or something because he was very mellow after chucking all over me. Then last night around 7pm he did it again, but a LOT more. I freaked and called the pedi after hours number. They let me know that if he spit up again we'd be headed to the ER, so to limit Ike's feedings to one side per feeding every hour or two. Honestly Ike slept pretty much like normal (2-3 hours at a time), but because i was freaked out i stayed up until he was hungry again (1am), so when he woke up at 3:30am and wouldn't go back to sleep, i was so exhausted i could barely think straight! Thank GOD for Jimmy, he woke up and took Ike and snuggled with him until Ike fell asleep. At least that's what i assumed happened because my butt passed out until 6am when Ike woke up again. I was still super tired, but at least i had gotten SOME sleep. Thank you SO much Jimmy.
Outside kitties...i feel bad but elated at the same time. I feel bad because Mo has behaved the same since we brought him home, but Cain and Abel have really just ticked me off for the past 6 months or so. They keep peeing EVERYWHERE! Cain has a habit of peeing in any open basket, tote, or box OR pile of clothes (you can not sort clothes on the floor to do laundry), blanket left on the floor etc. Abel has a slightly different habit. Since we moved Cain and Abel have been shifting roles of Alpha Kitty, Abel was always the Alpha Kitty/Big Brother, but now i think Cain may be and to show his displeasure, Abel has peed ALL OVER Ike's room and our dining room. Well this morning was the final straw. Abel peed all over the guest bathroom rugs/shower curtain and then one of twins peed all over the clothes on the washer/dryer (they were laying out to dry and before this they had never peed on stuff on the dryer). I absolutely love my kitties, but i just can't keep them in the house anymore. I refuse to take them to a shelter and i do not know of anyone who wants to have 3 kitties added to their mix, so i'm thinking this was the best option. Not too sure what i will do when it gets cold, maybe put a kitty door in the shed? Worst part is the cats are loving life outside, it's ME that's having a hard time adjusting.

I hope Ike gets to keeping the food down. If he still does it might be reflux..Dawson had that bad. Projectile vomit and it was gross.
Kitty..Well I am getting there with Tia...We have had he for almost a year and got her as a kitten. Well she has been peeing I see everywhere as well. I mean I keep showing her the litter box but she like the floor better! It is annoying because that is the one thing I can't stand. So Tia may be living the outdoor life as well. I hope things get better.
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that your pets are named Cain and Abel!! I think a kitty door is a great solution!! You still will have your blessed little kitties and you will be taking care of them wonderfully, but you will also won't have to be finding little messes where you don't want them to be!! My little dogs went through an adjustment period with the kids...okay...so they are still going through the adjustment period! :) Have a great first Halloween with little tiny Ike!
Glad that you are back to letting us know what is going on with you and the fam.
