Well, somethings not right with Gracie. I was going to take her to the vet today but that didn’t happen. I have to wait. I talked to a friend about her behavior and it’s probably that she has a tape worm. She seems to ravage food but also her attitude has changed. She’s gotten mean with Bella. Bell runs from her and hisses at her because Gracie’s hurting her poor little self. So, as soon as I can I’ll take her in to see what’s up with her. She’s gained a good 3 pounds in I’d say a week, maybe 10 days. I don’t know but she worries me. She gives out this little cry that just breaks my heart. She drinks just fine and when she’s not hurting Bella she plays just fine but something’s not right so I’m going to take her in.
This is the same cat that had the seizures due to poisoning. That poor kid can’t catch a break. She looks absolutely beautiful with more weight on her but since her behavior has changed, especially her eating habits, then I have to be really concerned. Gracie isn’t a mean cat but it seems here recently she’s mean. Poor Bell runs away from her. It’s just sad. At first Bell weighed more than Gracie but now Grace has passed her up big time. I expected weight gain after being fixed (January 9th of this year) but I didn’t expect meanness or for her to act like she’s never eaten before in her life. She eats so much that she vomits.
Other than watching over Gracie and protecting Bella my day has been nothing but fighting spammers. I had to close 10 different entries that were attacked by the same jackass.
When new people comment I look up their IP address and the name they gave to see if they’re really leaving a comment or opening up a slot for spam. One person I did this with had been kicked off the wilkipedia site. Her IP address had been banned. That’s bad! She even dogged her apartment building on their own site. She said that in like 2002. She seems to have a habit of leaving spam and negative comments. Nothing’s safe on the net. If you said it and clicked send it’s out there for good. One lady turned out to be a frikin racist. The stuff she said about other races was nothing but shameful but had I not looked her up I never would have known her true nature. Her comments aren’t welcome on this blog. Perhaps she didn’t read the ‘about me’ page where it mentions I’m one of those people she feels has no moral fiber. But you know, spammers spam at will. They don’t check to see if the blog is someone they approve of, they just send their spam bots and seek out decent bloggers like myself. Anyway though, so I do a quick Google search of new comments and if it looks okay I let ‘em in but if not, bye bye! My comment policy is on the sidebar so if you ever need a reminder that there is no Comment Constitution you can move your eyes to the right and viola there it is, the comment policy showing you have no inherent rights on this blog.
Last but not least, I had to add the word “spam” to words the moderation program catches. So if for some reason you use that word in your comments it’ll get sent to moderation and I’ll pull it out. I check the comments before clearing out that box. I have to do it daily seeing as how recently I’ve gotten up to 400 spams a day. Jackasses!!!
Yes, yes. I know Beauty. 
I know you don’t get spammed like this on your square space blog. Must be nice The joy I feel for you right now abounds.

My, Austin, I do believe Gracie’s meanness is rubbing off on you! If it makes you feel any better, I still get lots of spam on WordPress, even though I never post there any more. Does that even things out a bit? I hope so.
Seriously, I hope you find out what’s wrong with little Gracie soon… poor little thing.
Beauty
we really hope Gracie is okay, we know the vet will find out what is going on. when one of our boys had a tape worm he did not like the exam one single bit! can you send us an email about looking up IP addresses, we think it would come in handy.
later, but not much

The spammers must like you more. Either that, or the spam filter I have really works. I hardly ever get spam for some reason. You must be more popular:)
On a side note, how do you find out your commenters info like that?
Hope Gracie is okay. You’re not feeding her any of the food that’s been recalled, have you?
Hey Janet
Hell NO!!! As a matter of fact they won’t ever eat Special Kitty again, not dry or wet. I’ll do Purina from now on or go human food, which means I’ll have to do serious research to see how to feed a cat that way. I know it can be done and keep them healthy but I’d have to do some serious research so that I get it right. But then as you know, we had several recalled items. None of those items would find themselves in my cats diet though…chicken fingers Nope! Spinach, cantaloupe and lettuce? Nope.
What Gracie did eat three weeks ago was some of the dog food that was recalled but no way am I feeding any of that to them now or ever again. The anger I feel towards them is amazing, especially having known for a full fucking month that they were putting our animals in danger. But I have to think about drug companies and how they need the death toll to reach a certain number before pulling a drug off the market by force.

Austin, you say Gracie is vomiting as well as gaining weight? Have you checked the litter lately to make sure all seems right there? The fact that she has gained so much weight and is vomiting, a complete personality change all indicates something more than serious. Good luck with her and let us know how she’s doing.
