Seems to me if she had 10 cats she was the one with the problems...
Years ago, a pregnant cat followed her dog home while she was taking him for a walk. She took in the cat, and it had lots of kittens. She already had some cats of her own. I think she's down to 7 now. The other 3 died of old age or were so sick, after she and vet tried everything, that she had them euthanized.
She had all the cats spayed and neutered. Then she tried to give them away for free. No one would take them. The recession (housing market crashed), hit her town hard and no could afford them. She wouldn't take them to a shelter because the one in her town is a kill shelter. Fine, go to another town.
She has no kids, and has been divorced for decades. Her life revolves around these cats. She is very much introverted and has only onef friend, whom she has not seen since Covid started.
She is definitely the one with the problem. The aforementioned kittens all must have inherited the same health problems, because they constantly throw up and have intestinal problems, refuse to use the litter box from time to time, and are very picky about what they eat. She'll buy a few cases of their favorite foods, and they suddenly won't eat it. Same with the litter that goes in the litter box.
As a previous owner of 2 cats, I don't understand any of this. I'm just glad I live far, far away. As a non-veterinarian, I'm always pleased to get slides of things I cannot identify. /sarc
All I know is that I will refuse to be the executor of her estate, if she appoints me, assuming I am still alive. Between the 7 urns of cat remains nestled around my mother's urn, and the clutter, the cats, and the excess amount of furniture and stuff she owns (all of my mom's plus all of hers), the many Christmas trees, etc., I would go nuts.
I can sum this up by saying my sister and I are nothing alike. She is very set in her ways, and I change my ways all the time.
After the microwave ovens were removed from this table on the back porch, I removed the vinyl tablecloth taht has covered it for decades. It probably hasn't seen daylight in 45 years. It cleaned up better than I expected. The people that my parents bought the house from left it and who knows how long it was there before that. It has an enamel top (chipped in a few places), but the rest is wood. One divided drawer that goes the width. Dimensions in photo. I wonder how "antique" it is and if it has any value.

That's a cute table. I like it.
, I think the last few weeks just caught up with me. Ugh
Vacuum traffic paths, use a long-handled duster along where the ceiling meets the walls in case there are cobwebs, use the same long-handled duster to dust baseboards.
