How to Sooth a Cat in Heat

As I am typing this, there is a great deal of yowling going on. Yes, the cat is in heat again. They wouldn't sit still for a picture, but they basically look like this:

Mira is rubbing up against anything she can get her horny little paws on (oh how she loves me. And the walls, the chair legs, the other cat, my pole, and even the floor). Elizabeth, in true cat fashion, looks on in disapproval - yesterday when she came down the hallway to greet me in the morning, she kept looking back at Mira who was following. By the time they got to me, Elizabeth was running to get away from her!

So far, the only thing that quiets her is if you hold her and pet her (no yowling, but she keeps making little pigeon-y noises), and peppermint oil in the diffuser. Not sure why the peppermint oil works, but at least she calms down for a while.

Anyway. In other news, I'm finally finished my routine for the taboo show. I now have about 2 weeks to practise and perfect it before performing. I am definitely feeling like I left it a little late. At least it's done now.

Not much else going on. Possibly a Spira Halloween party this weekend, depending on what Jon's working. I'll have to throw a costume together quickly, but I'm sure I can manage.

And hopefully, more posts coming soon! Especially if I manage to stop procrastinating and actually start setting wedding plans in motion.
