Quint. Quint. Oh, Quint.
Oh, Quinty.
argh . . . mmmmm . . . I’m sleeping here . . . go away!
Quint, it’s Monday. Do you want a ManCat blog post today?
Not really. Do I have to? I was sleeping.
Well, you can’t sleep all day, can you?
YAWN . . .
Actually, yeah, I can sleep all day. I’m a cat that way.
Don’t you want to let everyone know how you’re doing? It’s been a while since you had an update.
I’m not going to talk about my pooping, if that’s what you’re referring to, Mom.
No, I just thought you might want to check in, let everyone know you’re doing exceptionally well at eating canned food now, how much of a very sweet bed cat you’ve become. You know, the important stuff.
Ah, yes. The important stuff. Stuff like this, perhaps?
Yeah, like this is important stuff.
Or maybe you meant this important thing?
Yes, Quint, that important thing. You’ll always be our little prince.
Quint has been doing pretty well. When he’s not on a hunger strike, he’s on canned food every day with a sprinkle of special Fiber Response kibble diet food on the side that he really, really likes. But sometimes, he just doesn’t feel like eating his canned food and so, some weeks are hit or miss despite all our tricks to make the food more appealing. We expect this will be a lifelong thing with him.
We’ve taken walks with him outside but his main interest is in the abundance of bumblebees we have this year instead of his usual interest in flowers. When we’ve set up his paint studio afterward, he sits there and looks at us like we’re crazy people. “You want me to what?” he seems to be saying.
We tried to integrate him back out in the main house with everyone else like he used to be, before he was ill back in February, but he cried at the bedroom door to be let back in, and then, he’d go on his hunger strike. This is one boy who loves the bed and sleeping tucked under the covers day and night! As of Friday night, he suddenly decided he wanted to stay out of our bedroom overnight, but wanted back in to sleep the next morning. And that’s where it all sits as of today. Orange and white ManCats. Who can figure them out?
