Now, here’s something you won’t see every day. Olivia, Viola, and Tessa “sharing” the proximity of a favorite fleece blanket. Who would believe these three usually avoid each other at all costs? Good thing we took a photo! We might have to use it as evidence someday!

Quint – © Colehauscats.com

We may have had a breakthrough over the weekend with getting Quint to eat his wet canned food. If you recall, he really, really doesn’t like anything other than kibble but has been recommended to eat wet food after his emergency vet stay back in February for holding his poop longer than necessary. BIG THANKS go out to Eastside Cats for suggesting we add a bit of Parmesan cheese to his canned food.

Quint wasn’t taken by that trick at first, but after a week, he seems to have come around. He’s finished his food at each meal for the past five feedings. Let’s cross paws and fingers this continues, okay? THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, Eastside Cats!

Sunny, March 2018 – © Colehauscats.com

Dear Sunny is beginning to feel and look her age. She’s done remarkably well here being a Colehaus Cat for the past two years, after once being labeled as quite possibly an unadoptable girl. She’s 13 or 14 years old now, still young, but we can only hold back the long-term effects of stage three kidney disease for so long. She lost a pound and a half, down from eight and a half pounds, after her double UTI in January and try as we may, giving her multiple feedings each day and evening, plus kibble snacks and treats, her weight continues to hold steady at just seven pounds, never regaining even a single ounce for all the extra food.

Last evening, we discovered she had difficulty jumping up to her heated bed on her tower, so we brought in a scratcher for her to use as a stepstool. She’s mellowed a bit further in the past month and over the weekend, we saw her defer to Pia for the first time ever.

She’s fine for now, still happy and comfortable, just aging, and we thought you’d like to know.
