Apple Head


Per Wikipedia here:

World Art Day, a celebration to promote the development, diffusion and enjoyment of art, was proclaimed at the 40th session of UNESCO’s General Conference in 2019.

How to celebrate this day?

Let's have some sillies, in the form of cartoons featuring Surrealist Renè Magritte's "Le fils de l'homme/The Son of Man", 1964.

Learn more about Magritte on The Magritte Foundation's website here.

The Son of Man painting is a prominent piece of art in the 1999 film "The Thomas Crown Affair", featuring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

During one scene as the art thief is mystifying the police, dozens of men dressed in long grey coats, red ties, bowler hats, and carrying briefcases fill the galleries of the museum, clogging up the halls and stairways, as the mastermind sets up the ruse.

Inside the briefcases, are flyers of The Son of Man, which spill out to cause even more confusion.

Just LURV this movie!

Henry Update:

All foods consumed on Tuesday.

The last 5 ml of doxycycline antibiotic administered.

Gabapentin was discontinued a few days ago, and he's as friendly and snuggly as ever.

He's not so slug-like, but not yet playing with toys.

Litter box habits are πŸ‘πŸ».

Henry is petitioning for more churus, but I fear he's going to NOT eat the 'good' food, to pander for the snacks.

Have tried frosting the wet food with the churu goop; sometimes he'll eat it, and sometimes he won't.

Any advice on this?

Wednesday update:

He didn't eat his dinner, and is ignoring breakfast.  *sigh*

Changes Without Change

It's Twozday!

 The other day, Manny and Chili Bruce just didn't want to give up a good napping spot.

I snapped pics every time I witnessed them in a new position, then made this quick video.

These two are just too too!

Henry Update:

Monday:

Henry ate his breakfast, plus the churus that I fed him.

The H Man ate his dinner, plus more churus.

He has a little more to go with the antibiotics, and the vet's office extended his appetite stimulant pills.

We appreciate the good vibes y'all have been sending!!!

❤️

Let The Sun Shine

It's PO'Monday!

Early April, 2013, The 'O' Cats were enjoying some sunshine:

Paddy O'Malley gives a stretch.

Sweetie is coy.

Sammy gives his opinion about something.

Henry Update:

Was at a family gathering for a good chunk of Sunday, so when I'd returned home and found that Henry had eaten his morning's meal at some point, it felt great!

He's friendly and NOT being a lump on the bed, but subdued.

He licked up almost two churus from my hand, and I hope he'll nibble on the freshly plated canned food that The Hubby set out.

I write this on Sunday, and I'll call the vet's office on Monday, to discuss additional meds or ideas on helping Henry regain his scarfing mojo.

You've all given great information in comments: I'll discuss each with the vet.

Thank you!

UPDATE, Monday AM

Henry ate all of the food left for him overnight, and he's cleaned his b'fast bowl!

πŸ™€ πŸ™€ πŸ™€ 

Also thanks for the b'day wishes for The Hubby.

Let's Hop!
