Survival of the Fittest 😹

April 10 is Siblings Day in the US and Canada; a day to recognize, honor, and celebrate the special bond between siblings.

Learn more at Siblings Day Foundation here.

Wikipedia reports that Brothers and Sisters Day is observed in Europe on May 31.

A few sillies for your entertainment:


I may be #5 child of six, and have had some crazy sibling stuff happen, but at least we never dressed up as pickles.

I do really like pickles...yum.

Henry Update:

Henry had an experience on Thursday: the bed sheets needed laundering, and he's been stuck to the bed like a burr.

He looked as if I was trying to grab him for a ride in the carrier, but we slid the sheets out from under him carefully.

He's eating better, yet his energy is low.

Perhaps a few more good meals will spark him into jumping on counters or playing with his spring toys again.

So appreciate all of the love and purrs that y'all have sent!

Don't Mess With One of These!

National Unicorn Day on April 9, is mostly celebrated in Scotland.

But why should the Scots have all of the fun?!?

Go forth and spread some sparkles on this holiday.

Am thankful that there are other folks out there like me, who enjoy the goofy, the bizarre, and want to just have fun with reality or with fictional beasties!

~~~

Thank you all for your concern for Henry.

Wednesday morning, he'd eaten all...ALL...of the food that I'd left for him.

I put out fresh, smelly stuff.

He ate that, plus his dinner, and now a little bit extra that I snuck past Da Boyz.

Our primary goal is that he gets food in his tummy, and we hope the current habit stays strong even after we tail back on the meds.

And do I adore having him curl up next to me at night?

YES!

Let's Hop!

As Seen On Foot

It's Walkin' and Readin' Wednesday!

First, a few neighborhood cats:


And why not a few recent photos of Da Boyz:

Chili Bruce

Manny

They look like they are a street gang! 😹

📚 And my most recent completed books/audiobooks:

Need a Little Time by Adam Eccles
Sometimes, the strangest things can happen, right on your doorstep.

First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

The Rembrandt Heist by Anthony Amore
A true crime tale of unbelievable friendship, loyalty, criminal genius, and a staggeringly audacious plot to steal one of the world’s most valuable paintings—and return it.

Thank you all for the POTP that you are sending to Henry!!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As of Tuesday evening: nibbles of food eaten.

Am heading in with churus next.

I believe the resumption of the appetite stimulant is key.

He's neatly sequestered, so no more hiding under dressers, bathtubs, etc.

Henry is stubborn, and so am I!

Let's Hop!
