A Rare Sighting!

Whoops, April 25, yesterday, was Independent Bookstore Day.

Am a reader of books and ebooks, plus a listener of audiobooks.

I cannot pass up a bookstore, and enjoy used bookstores the most, or any bookstore that has a resident cat!

Today is National Pet Parent Day, celebrated on the last Sunday in April.


The Hubby, dedicated pet parent, snuggling with Chili Bruce; an ussie for Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.

Shhh...don't tell him that I'd posted this, since he prefers to stay behind the scenes.

Henry Update:

Beginning tomorrow, we add B12 pills to Henry's med rotation.

He'd received a shot at last Monday's vet visit, so now it's time to keep that good stuff going.

Dr. Google says:
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential for cats to support digestion, immune system function, cognitive health, and red blood cell formation. It is vital for metabolic processes, including DNA synthesis and energy production. Because cats cannot synthesize B12 themselves and often lose it through gastrointestinal disease, supplementation is crucial for those with chronic vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss. 

The H Man has been eating regularly...knock wood!

For Caturday, my old friend King Sly was out the other day.

His eyes look so crazy!

Henry Update:

Henry is eating regularly, sometimes even cleaning a bowl, and then demanding more.

He's getting food multiple times a day, even at 3 am when he squeaks into my sleeping ear.

I can always nap, but he needs to keep eating.

Tree Latin

 Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April in most of the U.S., to appreciate and care for trees.

Many organizations plant trees today.

Trees are crucial for our environment: produce oxygen, provide food and habitat for wildlife, reduce or eliminate soil erosion, and provides mental health benefits through urban green spaces.

We need them!

Learn more here: Arbor Day Foundation.

Tree in Latin is arbor.

Silver Maple, in Eastside Cats yard, Mount Clemens Michigan

Quickstad Park, Royal Oak Michigan

I love parks, especially because of the trees.

Henry Update:

A bit listless on Thursday, but he's eating.

HUGE amounts of deposits in the litter box, mostly peeballs.

He's got runny stool, which will hopefully dry up soon, as we attempt to settle down his intestines.
