Doused with Cat Urine




We have 2 female cats, Euphrates and Tigris, Siamese and Siamese/Balinese.
Several weeks ago we discovered a feral cat skulking around our house here, probably looking for food. Several nights since we've been awoken in the middle of the night by our domesticated, docile cats fighting off this beastly critter. Kennedy says it gives him the creeps. Anyway, it started eating the catfood off the porch so we moved the food to our bathroom inside.
A few nights ago we woke up to cats fighting in the house, and then on our bed, on top of us. I woke up from the screeching to feel a very warm, heavy sensation on me. It came through and got my nightgown wet, and I realized, to my horror and disgust, the cat peed on me! Euphrates, (our female cat) had been so frightened she just let out what must have been a full bladder right on top of me in bed. Yuck. I told Kennedy and we both got up to inspect the damage. Not only was the cover on my side soaked, and all our sheets (& my nightgown)wet, but there was urine all over the floor, too. I got a towel and wiped up the whole floor. The next day we found more, splattered around and in a puddle in the next room. I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 cats let loose.
We figured the feral cat snuck in and then made his exit out the open window by Poppy's bed, because she told us a cat had jumped on her on its way out, and we saw the screen was pushed open.
Bad cat!

Our Airport-Closure Adventure

We knew that time was tight between the end of our conference in the Northern end of Thailand and our flight out of the country from the Southern end. We figured that since we would be flying there would be no problem getting home in a day and giving ourselves 2 full days before our flight to the U.S. We were scheduled to fly back to Southern Thailand on December 1st and get on our flight to the U.S. on December 4th. We flew to Chiang Mai with no inkling that the beautiful new airport we transferred at in Bangkok would be seiged by protesters just a few days later. At our conference we realized that we were not going to be flying back. The alternatives were train, bus, rent a car or rent a mini-van with a driver. Being economical we chose the train or bus, and in the end, due to scheduling, it had to be the bus. It would be a grueling 20+ hour trip home, but we weren't overly concerned because Thailand has beautiful VIP buses that are really nice to ride in. Unfortunately ther...

Red-Necked Keelback Snake

This is our "snake of the month," this time just a few steps from our kitchen door. I found it Monday afternoon, a strange pattern unlike the grass surrounding it. I yelled for the kids and our guest to go upstairs, handed them the dogs, and got my cell-phone and snake book. Kennedy, Trevor (Dean's intern) and a handyman all came to help, and the Thai handyman killed it. It was a very pretty snake, I'll upload a picture later. It is venomous, with rear-fangs. Most keelback snakes are not venomous, (we just got lucky?)
