Some forward and some back....

I've finished two more Christmas presents but added one to my list so I still have six to finish. Four of them can wait until 12th night (January 9th for those not in the know).  I have about 7 inches knit on the next hat so it's certainly well on the way but I still don't think I have enough time.  On a side note, the hat pattern is a WWII pattern and it has several options for decorative additions.  You can see the pennants on this one but there are about 6 other options.  I kind of like the history. And well, frankly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.



Unfortunately, Whisper has been relegated back to the garage.  There were cat messes occurring in the house and so I chased all the cats out to the garage and let them in one at a time, one day at a time.  There have been no messes with just the boys in the house.  I opened the house back up to Whisper but she hasn't come back in, that I've noticed.  The act of chasing the cats out probably traumatized her again, although I see her in the garage now and I didn't always before.  She may have a UTI but the chances of catching her and keeping her long enough to treat it are pretty small.  I've switched her food to senior food with a focus on urinary health and put it in the garage where she is the most likely one to be eating it.  I'm not sure what else to do.  She could use veterinary care all around but I'm not sure my wallet could handle the bill for the intensity of treatment she might need.  Any one have ideas for home remedies for ferral cats?
