Final thoughts

andrewduckerWe have a cat. Well, technically Erin has a cat, but obviously, wanders around the flat.
I try to remember to feed the darn thing before going to bed, and I seem to be doing a fairly good job of remembering about 3 times in 4. Unfortunately the 4th time in 4, it then decides that Joe will feed it (Joe's room being the nearest to the kitchen, I assume. Either that or Joe's door being open entices it in in case it can eat him).
My memory is notoriously bad. Erin's is usually better, but (for instance) this evening she came in, had a shower and was snoring hours ago. Not much good for late-night cat feeding. My memory is so bad that I use my Yahoo calendar to remind me to take the bin out once a week (it mails an address that texts my phone).
So I need some kind of method of remembering. I could have a standard procedure of going to bed (after all, I remember to clean my teeth about 95% of the time. I could just write something on my toothbrush I suppose, but I'm not sure I'd remember to read my toothbrush every night.
Any suggestions short of carving "feed the damn cat" on the inside of my cornea?

Re: Checked
Date: 2002-04-01 01:25 am (UTC)Dry food can be a perfectly fine component, (or whole) of a diet. It would also mean you wouldn't have to worry so much about feeding her, and just dump a bucket of dry food there every week.

this is the way I like doing things. As you like to point out, Joe, she's my cat. People started giving her lots of dried food a while back, and I thought about it and decided that it wasn't a big deal, and if she wasn't getting too fat, so be it.

Date: 2002-04-13 03:26 pm (UTC)a) get a post it note. Write 2 things on it
1) FEED THE CAT YOU WANKH0R
2) PUT ME SOMEWHERE NEW
Every time you see the post it, at night, feed the cat, and move the post it somewhere new. that way you won't get used to it being in the same place.
