He made a break for it…
Time to call in the bloodhounds, the sneaky Socks, managed to actually get away this afternoon. I don’t expect to see him for a few hours. He is off smelling all the wonderful fall smells. This is probably for the best, though he really shouldn’t be outside. But the last few nights he has decided that he really wants to go out at about 3am, and he is going to let all of us know it, whether we want to listen or not. This lasts about 2 hours and wakes all of us. Last night I was able to get about 3 hours of sleep, and I am only awake due to the high dosages of caffine administered regularily.
I am hopefull that his little adventure outside tonight, wears him out enough that he sleeps through tonight… I know, that is a little to much to pray for, but I really need to sleep.
**UPDATE**
Socks came home a little after 10 tonight, after about 5 hours out. He appears to be in one piece and without injury. Now I just hope that his being out ‘on the town’, makes him tired enough that he will sleep through the night and not waking us all up at 3 am.

Hi! Found you through Blogazoo. Thanks for reminding people to give FIV+ cats a chance. Maybe I’ll add something like that to my blog as well. =^.^=
Hi Barb,
My cat Socks, is FIV+. I heave done a bit of reading about FIV and also the tests that are used to determine that. Socks adopted my family this past summer and after giving his previous owners a chance to reclaim him, I had to take him to the vet for an absess on his hip. That is when I found out. I have to admit that I felt like the vet-tech had slapped me when she first said it. But after reading aobut the disease and talking with my vet, I came to understand that it wasnt as bad as it sounded. I found that site (ring) a little while ago and I think that it is great to let people know the truth about the disease.
Thank you for stopping by
