It's a Shame

Oh, the indignities of being a pampered housecat at Eastside Cats.

One's daily routines are caught on camera.

Chili Bruce, caught mid-yawn.

Manny, showing off his underwear.


Henry, while draped across my body, endures some noggin scritches; he really butts his head into one's hand!

They really have it rough around here.

Henry health update:

Henry is doing well, despite the loose stool he had a few days ago.

AND we will never ever ever ever NOT give him his appetite stimulant, 'cause he goes from 90 mph in slurping his food to nothing, zero eating in the blink of an eye.

And my heart cannot take when he doesn't eat.

The veterinarian says it's okay to continue the appetite stimulant and the anti-nausea meds indefinitely, so they remain in the rotation.

Chemo pill #5 of 10 total will be administered this Tuesday.

HB Louis!

 Louis William Wain, 8/5/1860-7/4/1939, was an English artist and illustrator, best known for his cat images.

Cat Wearing a Bow by Louis Wain, no date

A Fine Swing by Louis Wain, postcard published 1904

A Cat in Gothic Style by Louis Wain, created between 1925 and 1939

In 2021, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain film was released, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.

I haven't yet seen the film, as it's not available on DVD at the library, but I'll get to watch it someday!

I mean, cats and Cumberatch!

Without Kids

August 1 is International Childfree Day.

Love my nieces and nephews, and grand/great nieces and nephews...and their pets!

Am in total admiration of folks raising children.

The Hubby and I chose to not reproduce.


The above is all in good fun, y'all!

For Caturday, we have a pensive Henry close-up, artified with Prisma's Hot Tea filter.
