Just a few days post-surgery and she’s already showing remarkable improvement in her gait and balance.

I remember. That was quite an operation. Not comfortable looking.June 24, 2020:
One of the more challenging aspects of her recovery was keeping track of her incision site and scar and making sure it’s not infected. In many cases, I held her over an iPad in selfie mode and snapped some mostly blind shots. These are some of my better shots without the iPad hover.

Bonus: Such a messy eater.

I wish that would work for my boys! I bought a huge mat from Chewy and they still insist on eating over the floor and dropping bits of raw meat everywhere. Po will even purposely drop a huge chunk from his mouth onto the floor so he can then pick at it. I've just gotten in the habit of wiping the floor every time they eat now.I remember.

And yeah, we have two of those here. Elvis somehow manages to slop the liquid-y gravy from some of his food off onto the tray I serve him on. Thankful for IKEA trays!!! which are so wipe-able and catch such a multitude of, if not sins, certainly bits and blobs and tiny lakes of gush.
Hmmmmmm. A tortie. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
There's a reason why I mostly fed Krista's raw portions on the countertop or desk. If she was going to pick food off the plate or fling it, I preferred to pick it off my coffee maker than search for it in the carpet or underneath an appliance.I wish that would work for my boys!

Awwww. She looks amazing! Thriving!June 25, 2019:
Looking good after starting this year in the hospital with a feeding tube and vestibular disease.

Yes, "though really"! Our beloved angel Sammi used to wrap his tail around my waist when I picked him up. If that's not a cathug, I don't even need to know what is.June 26, 2018:
One of the first vet visits from her senior years. This might be the ER visit from the first time she stopped eating. If that’s the visit I’m thinking of, we waited two hours for a cat doc when every dog that came in before us and after us got seen before then.

I think we started timed feeders the day before. Looks like she figured it out quick enough.

Also 2019, apparently I missed a National Hug Your Cat Day the other week. This is my belated entry.

Though really, who’s hugging whom?

She adapted to the pen life so quickly.

Krista would lay on my belly and chest whether I was laying or sitting. My little mountain lion could pull off a vertical cat bib. If that ain’t a cat hug!Yes, "though really"!

No intentional cat beards. I tried it once or twice with her. She didn't get the concept. She also did not go for cat yodeling. She just didn't get annoyed enough to vocalize in the necessary ways. I made the nearly fatal mistake of trying a "cat scan" with Cabbie (attempting to get a scan of her on a flatbed scanner.) Those were some impressive scratches. Krista wasn't scared of cucumbers or bananas. As cat memes go, I had either unwilling or uninterested participants.Krista looks very happy, healthy, comfortable and content in front of her fancy feeder.
Vertical cat bib! Did you two ever do the cat beard thing?
