Appeasing A West Texas Cat

The morning dawned balmy, what a pleasant experience this morning.

When I went home tonight, the air had a definite chill, much colder than the morning air.

When I got home tonight, Sake wanted to be in the garage, which was agreeable to me while I was feeding.

Shortly after, she came back into the house, and started to complain. She climbed on a dining area chair and tried to get on the window sill under the blinds.  With the blinds down and the window closed, the window sill is all but non-existent. Basically, not available to her.  So then, she tried to get on the window sills on the windows behind the sofa in the living room. Basically, the set up is the same as the window in the dining area: there are blinds on the windows, and no place for the cat to be.  Unless we make a place by opening the windows. No place for Sake.

Sometime later, after much complaining, I took Sake outside. I showed her the cold and wet.  I returned her to the house, and cut some rye grass from the front yard and brought it in for Sake. She just immediately settled down, chewed on some of the grass clippings, and later vomited, as she does, when she eats grass.

I am not sure why she eats grass and vomits so much, but I really believe it has to do with the amount of cat hair she consumes: She consumes so much, she needs help to expectorate it. I hate that it causes her so much distress, but I am not sure what else to do.

Well, today, Sake wanted out and to access some balmy West Texas air and grass. It did not happen, but Sake was appeased, somewhat, by having grass cuttings brought in.

And the truth be known, by the time I got home from work, the weather was no longer balmy, and Sake would not have enjoyed the outside air.
