We never leave our house unattended bc of the pets so no need to shut off the water while gone. But I'm sorely tempted to shut it off at night bc the damn float is jamming 2x a day now.
On the upside, my kitty (Boo) slept on Mom last night and was feeling better today. He let me give him meds easily, he groomed himself after I gave him fresh water, and he ate his favorite canned food. He didn't eat a lot of it, but even eating a little is progress. Mom is watching tv in the living room but Boo is on her bed on a blanket she set out for him. He loves the fuzzy blankets. He wants to eat alone in the bathroom with no other animals around, but he wants to drink in the kitchen. I set out a dish tub on the counter full of water bc the cats drink so much so quickly. So the tub solution works out and he wants to be near water all the time. Reminds me of our old cat A$$clown. He was obsessed with water in his older years. He would lounge next to the water bowl with his paw up on the rim and even sleep with his chin on the rim. I'd never seen a grown cat drink lying down before. Apparently its a sign of kidney disease.
I helped my friend move a couch, picked up boudin from Jewel's quick stop, picked up rx from the pharmacy, grabbed canned food for Boo, fed Boo and Mom, gave Boo his meds, & unjammed the float lever. I'm going to take a nap now.
