Hey, look! It’s a Tessa in a basket! And it might even be her basket (to share), though we’re pretty certain no one else would want it after she gets her smells all over the crinkly paper at the bottom.

Hey, look! It’s Tessa and she’s eating from her own feeder (this time). And she looks like she’s eating politely, not dropping and smearing her food all over the feeder mat and the cabinet top. Surely, this can’t be the Tessa we know.

Hey, look! It’s Tessa . . .

. . . the most intelligent and savvy cat known to all. Mom, how about some positive descriptions for once. Like, how pretty I am and so incredibly smart, like genius smart. Because I am.

Well, you sure know how to glare at the camera, Tessa!

Olivia’s trip to the vet last Friday left us perplexed. She was a perfect passenger and kept all opinions on Mom’s driving to herself. Thankfully, Olivia doesn’t have kidney disease, or at least, nothing much that trips that trigger. So, why is she losing weight? Could be this, could be that, could be some others things we need to rule out. So, she goes in for x-rays at the end of next month and in the meantime, she’s on an appetite stimulator every other day or so as needed.

As long as she doesn’t start ordering delivery pizza every day, we think she’ll be okay.

Just walk away and no one will get hurt. And Quint, stop sniffing your sister’s butt.

Someone’s settling in for a nice, summer nap. And only his third of the day!

The next kitty to need a vet visit is Olivia. Over the past few weeks she’s lost weight. Always thin and light, even a pound or two lost really shows on her. She’s eating marginally well but has taken to having Mom feed her individual kibble bits (while counting each one in French), and needing FortiFlora sprinkled over her wet food. She isn’t jumping up on counters or chairs like she used to just two months ago, and is sleeping alone, not with her bedmate brother Quint. We’ll get her in to the vet as soon as they can find an appointment on Mom’s day off (they are closed on Mom’s other day off), and hopefully, find an answer for her weight loss. She’s eleven years old now, not terribly old, but a reminder that our cats are aging. Give yours a gentle hug today!
