Sorry, But Our Princess is in Another Castle.

All my family and close friends know that I’m a person that doesn’t look for easy ways. Today’s quest proved this rule.
I have two cats, and a bough-pot with lovely Haworthia named Yuki-kun. These representatives of animal and floral life don’t mix well: the cats constantly try to eat Yuki-kun or dig him out of his pot. I have to put Yuki-kun on one of my bookcases, but there he doesn’t receive enough sunlight. Yuki-kun, being a succulent, is quite tough, but still, two curious cats and lack of sunlight takes its toll on him.
So I decided to fence some place on one of window sills, so the cats won’t be able to reach Yuki-kun. This fence must be quite aesthetically pleasing (my sister’s requirement). And somehow I came upon idea that if I could put the pot with Yuki-kun into small cylindrical bird cage that would be ideal solution! And today I went to the quest. Seven of zoo shops in the city centre. Or maybe more, I didn’t count (my poor feet). All of them had only large cages, though I have to say that shop assistants was making quite funny faces when I was telling them why I need small cylindrical bird cage.
Alas, no aesthetically pleasing fence for Yuki-kun. :( I feel I’ll have to construct the fence from plastic wire mesh that used in gardens.

Time of quests has come, it seems.

Aside from “Fence for Yuki-kun” quest, there is more serious problem I need to face and solve. Namely, my health. Chronic cholecystitis I’ve been diagnosed with last year seems to became evident once again, and I suspect that my overall unwellness is not just me feeling down but this may be linked with this gall (and liver) problem. I need this to be medically examined, so I would have some certainty what to do next. I have to say, though, that I’m starting to like the idea of cystectomy; even though I had no gallstones year ago, I see what effect cystectomy has on my sister, who had them. She feels much, much better that last autumn. I wonder if it would be better for me too.
