I have one that would enjoy the excuse to lie on my bed all day, and another who would probably hide. Both, however, would attempt to break out rather than use the litter tray. I still have trays for emergencies as the cat flap is locked overnight, but they've only been used once in the last 6 months (due to me ignoring an urgent early-morning request for the door to be opened).2

You could also try covering the cat flap. When mine is confined to quarters I put a box or something easily moveable (by humans) in front of it so its not an option to try and paw at it. Mine also hates being in, but needs must sometimes. Glad she is recovering and hope you are both getting over it all too."Think of many things, do one"

Shattered again but in a good way 😊
Got out early this morning and cleared half a veg bed whilst the sofa blankets were dancing in the washing machine. Got those on the line and went to town to get the car washed and buy bananas and a plant for my Buddhist friend. Also picked up a new microwave as our died this morning! 🙄😉 (Mr KK uses it daily to warm the milk for his flask of coffee so it is a critical bit of kit.)Headed over to collect friend and after a chat we headed out to a local garden centre for a good lunch. We both bought plants and she bought various tools for her new garden 😊
Headed back to hers where I vacuumed right through for her (she’s the friend who broke her femur along its full length) and then we had a good chat in the sunshine in her little garden 😊

I am sooo sore today. My back, legs and shoulders. I’ve put my tracky bottoms on as I think a yoga session is needed before anything else!Damp here so I will be having a quiet morning whatever else happens.I will start with a yoga session, aka rolling around on the floor 😉I want to ring the Coop as I think our auto OP from a drop in our default payment v. the fixed payment we make has increased and I would like to know by how much 😊
Pay the vet’s admin bill.
Ring P3tPlan to get an idea of how long it will take to process the claim.More tapestry - I rolled it round the frame to the last undone section last night 😊👏
Maybe some reading …? 🤔
If I get the motivation, tackle a job in the conservatory that I have been intending to do for a very long time … If I do, I will tell you about it.This afternoon I have a call booked with one of my new colleagues to discuss the priorities I need to focus on when I get into my new job - looking forward to this as it will start my brain ticking with ideas on how to approach when I get in there.Possibly some gardening, subject to not feeling fragile and brittle and the garden drying up a bit!
