Easy Like Sunday

 Easy Like Sunday...  3 cats abed.  

TBT:  But look at how big Marley is...  Laz is 9 pounds.  OK, sure he is big-boned. but "wow"...

But I've never seen a small orange/white male cat either.  Skeeter was also very large (14-16 pounds).

Caturday Saturday

 MARLEY:  Well TBT got an email from the vet saying my T4 whatever that is was good, but I have have a slightly mild kidney thing.  So I have to visit him again in a month to see if it has changed.  

But worse, he Vet says I am overweight.  15.9 pounds and they want me at 15 in a few months and eventually at 13.  GRR!  I LIKE being "plump".  I claim it is all muscle but the vet disagrees.  .  TBT is deciding whether to try and lower my weight.  And I dont get much choice about that, either.  The vet says I should be fed "allowed" amounts closed in The Mews Room so I don't stick my nose into the others' bowls.

How is that possibly fair?  I'm a big cat.  I need more food!  I've already gone from 18 pounds to jus 15.9 this past 2 years!  The vet even said I have a "big frame?  

OK.  Laz iz like 9 pounds, Lori is 8 and Ayla is 6.4.  But they are little cats an I'm not!  I'll be "fur on bones" at 13 pounds!  

Do I look fat?  Be honest...

Flashback Friday

MARLEY:  First, I went ta the Vet fer teef-cleanin Wed an everything was fine.  Dint lose a single little tooth.  In fact I was complicated complimented  on my great teef!

Second, I take ya back ta this week in 2012. 

First, I was on the tree with Ayla and Iza.

Then I wasnt.  

I had gone ta use the floor scratcher.

Then I got up on the table ta do some grooming.  The newspaper is good cause I can see if I nip out any fleas!

I did a careful job of grooming...

And pulling at loose claw sheaths.

Did some more nipping...

And more.

Yay!  Not a single flea, and my furs are all nice and smooth...

Twofur Tuesday

AYLA:   TBT has been surprised at how much more comfortable I feel the past month being out and around the house.  I show up in the kitchen, I visit him at the computer desk (where I help with some posts about me), and I sleep more "out in the open" (bedroom, but not hidden away).  And more of those pics soon.

But what really surprised him was when he woke up briefly and saw me sleeping next to Marley.  Well, Marley is OK to me, but TBT wasn't expecting ta see me sleeping next ta anycat...

I've even been sleeping near Lori a few times (on opposite sides of TBT but once within a foot of her), but he doesn't have pictures of that yet.

Easy Like Sunday

The Ls and Marley on the bed.  It doesn't bother me to have it at the foot of the bed, and they love it.

Ayla of course doesn't nap with the others, but she appreciated the fresh-washed folded towel in the closet.

Nights are peaceful.  The bedroom is sort of neutral territory (though it is generally Ayla's during the day).  As is I whatever room I'm in.  Any fusses always occur "elsewhere".    

Caturday Saturday

The Ls keep finding new places to nap together.  This bed had'nt been used in a couple months.  But they both decided it was "The Right Place" yesterday.

I used to think that one of them decided where they should both nap (thinking one of them decided that), but it seems to be random.  One settles in a spot and the other joins.  I have finally observed that sometime Laz joins Lori and sometimes Lori joins Laz.  

I guess it is whichever decides where to nap/sleep first and then the other finds the first "wherever".

Flashback Friday

 Well, today we see this week in 2014.  Iza was loving some laptime after a poofy-tail event I forget why)...

She was loving some scritchies.

And sort of passed out in comfort and trust.

And slept beautifully...

Thankful Thursday

 AYLA:  I am Thankful to have returned home yesserday!  I got dragged off ta the VET an when ya realize they give ya a sleepy-shot, ya gotta worry its "the last one".  So I was glad ta wake up later and see TBT a few hours after that.

It was for my teef.  Apparently they were dirty and old.  The Vet tech was nice an explained about that ta me, but I really only trust what TBT (or Marley) tells me.  [TBT here:  I told her about the teeth, she forgot]

So it seems my teef got scraped.  And I am missing one of my little front nipper teef.  Actally, the worst part was that I didnt get any foods fer like 20 HOURS.  Dang I was hungry!  And I couldnt even have a full meal fer a few more hours after that.

And they stole a lot of my furs!  My front leg is cold,  the cooly-air vent feels weerd!  But it seems Im safe fer a while.

Marley laffed seeing my leg.  He shouldnt.  TBT told me it is HIS turn next week!!  And he doesnt know that yet, 😺

Togetherness Tuesday

I got a new mousepad in the mail yesterday.  The old leopard-face one had faded to a splotchy blur.  I had seen an ad for personalized ones and liked the idea.  So I did some searching and found a place with good ratings and a reasonable price.

I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use.  It took a while to find it.  And since they accepted larger pics than I use in the blog, I re-edited the original for best definition/color/light, etc (considering that it would probably print on the rubber/vinyl/whatever a bit darker.

I am altogether pleased with the results!

And it looks better than the picture shows...

Laptime for Lori and Marley...

 

Caturday Saturday

 Getting up for the day...

Lori:  "Hey Laz, do ya suppose TBT will get up soon?  Im kinna hungry.

Laz:  "Then stop turnin yer nose up at last late meal...  But go walk on him.  That usually wakes him up"...

Friday Flashback.

Off the usual routine of "this week in the past"...   Ayla was being gorgeous back in 2009.  

And these are all out of order in time, but she used to climb the tall ladder.

And sit on the roof.

I once watched her do that from the kitchen.  You don't normally expect to see your cat walking up a ladder outside when you are making dinner!

 

She was young then.  Fearless of heights...

Enjoyed being on the roof.

Right on the edge.

Really high up.  She loved it there.

And she could even climb down on her own.

She isn't just a Princess to me; she is a Wondercat.  Her whole life has been a constant source of amazement and surprize.
