 * CC should have pooped in the garage over night, so in the morning his butt should NOT be protruding. During evening visit, his butt might protrude slightly because the poop will be coming out later over night. If he does a significant amount of poop once each day, there should be no need for an enema.

 * If you want to bring in some cat nip and rough it up for CC, there is a big plant across the pavers from the compost bin. There is also a plant in the little square patch down the steps of the deck to the concrete.


 * **(Summer time) During AM visit, water potted plants on deck.**CC can go out with you if you are comfortable with that. He will probably stay right there. Or, at least keep glass door open and screen closed so he can breath outside air. Watering cans by sliding glass door.
 * Rough up some cat nip on the plant near his food area before you leave.
