she eats about twice every three days, having hit her normal underweightness instead of skeletal.
she suddenly has a pronounced limp, which needs to be looked at by a vet, because I can’t see anything obviously wrong.
her new favourite treat is licking skin cream off my hands.
she likes to nap in a huge pile of books, […]
Here she is, even scrawnier than she looks in this photo. I am trying to rehydrate her, so she gets alternately water and watery milk (along with cat food). I’ll buy kitten milk for her too, which is better balanced for cats, and higher calorie.
I was sitting on the couch holding Conrad Black (the unincarcerated kitten version) and Eva-the-unfriendly starts meowing outside. I know it’s Eva because no other cat in this house meows so loudly. Sister, I say, go let in Eva. She doesn’t like Eva and claims she will run away when she sees who is opening […]
Look, it’s my kittens, finally sleeping near each other again.
Sam honestly is at least three times Tilda’s size (and more than 3 times my little anorexic baby’s weight).
I am lying on my bed and I notice that the annoying black and white cat (to be distinguished from the many other b&w cats in the neighbourhood) is in my window. What are you doing in my house, cat? And then I look and see that my back door is shut, which means that […]
These cats are ready for adoption, so if there are any Montrealers who are looking for cats, this is your chance.
Matilda just slowly and conscientiously ate a big feather that fell off a feather boa. I sat there wathching her do it, sure I was not seeing what I thought I was seeing. But no, she definitely ate it. I doubt this is going to make her sick — the feather boa has been around, […]
As usual, the cat came back later, but only after a chase scene. So I decided to give her a bit of fresh air at my parents’ house, where again, I had to chase her (my sister was making noise and she got scared. Again).
All that would have been fine, but on the way […]
Unfortunately, Matilda escaped, and of course the weather is so beautiful, I have no idea where she got to. The back door is open, but she has a thing against leaving the balcony, and it also means she’s unwilling to come onto the balcony from the stairs. The front door isn’t open, but I […]
I am highly amused by this ask.mefi thread about how cats view humans.
We are helper monkeys, with extremely useful opposable thumbs. Our cats think we are kinda slow - well, downright dumb, really - when it comes to understanding what they want when they’re meowing at us and trying to herd us toward the feeding […]
