Uneasy in Easyville

It's Formerly Feral Friday, and Henryville has been a snoozefest.

Henry spends a tiny bit of time playing with toys, then he climbs on the bed to enjoy his dreams in softness and warmth.

However, this human has been concerned as Henry stopped eating his meals, preferring to only lick churu sticks, like those pictured below.

There have been no changes to his food, same bowls as always, and no differences noticed in his litter box depositing.

This began on Tuesday, so by the time this post appears, he's either over whatever it was, or I've scheduled a vet appointment.

Oh, H Man, please eat your dinner!

~UPDATE~

Called the vet's office Thursday afternoon, and was told that if I could bring him in right away, they'd have time to see him.

Whelp...Henry removed 'formerly' from his FERAL!

He hissed, he jumped, he pooped, he growled, and he ran like the wind, and hid like a ninja!

Gotta admire his stamina.

The pic above is Henry perched on the railing overlooking the stairs below, and that's when I called a halt to persuading him into the carrier.

He did NOT go to the vet.

We'll be keeping an eye on him, and hope he'll return to his usual eating manner, and doesn't try to kill me in my sleep in retribution.

Wildly Loved

Thanks again for all of the birthday wishes.

Received ecards, texts, and messages!

And a few postal cards.

A selection of goodies arrived:

Cats in sweaters scarf in the background

Cat toys (not for me, for the cats!), one being a slice of watermelon

Book marks: Pusheen and a handmade wooden one that reads: This is where you fell asleep

Kitty sticky notes

Not pictured: cat note pads and games

As I can no longer count all of the years on my fingers and toes, it's lovely to have friends and family wishing me felicitations on my natal day, no matter what that number is.

Purchased a gift for myself too: a desktop printer.

Aren't I wild and eccentric?

Magical Nature

Walk & Read Wednesday

Some recent nature images:

Beautiful First Day of Spring at Stony Creek Metropark, Washington Township, Michigan.

Turkey Vultures Roosting, on my neighborhood walk.

Spring Clouds and Sky

Mango is a Bengal cat; met her last week while walking, and recently gushed to her human dad over how beautiful and sweet she is.

He said he's got two more cats; I look forward to meeting them.

Some recent reads:

Author: Jess Armstrong

Series: Ruby Vaughn

Book 1: The Curse of Penryth Hall

2: The Secret of the Three Fates

3: The Devil in Oxford

"After the Great War, American heiress Ruby Vaughn made a life for herself running a rare bookstore alongside her octogenarian employer and house mate in Exeter. She’s always avoided dwelling on the past, even before the war, but it always has a way of finding her."

So far, the stories have taken place in Cornwall, Scotland, and Oxford.

Book 4 The Lost Souls of St. Oda's is due out this autumn.

My take: Somewhat cozy reads, with an edge; after all, it's got an American in the midst of the English, and there is a touch of magic!

Author: Anne Bishop

Series: Isle of Wyrd

Book 1: Turns of Fate

"Young detective Beth Fahey begins investigating crimes of the uncanny, only to learn that bargains with The Arcana can change your fate—for good or ill."

My take: Had no idea the rabbit-hole the reader willingly heads down as the real world morphs on Wyrd Island.  Looking forward to the next book.

Author: Simon Garfield

"Explores the history, impact, and ,cultural significance of typefaces, making typography accessible and interesting to a general audience. Published in 2010, it covers everything from Gutenberg to modern digital fonts."

My take: A dive into a part of our world that is rarely noticed, unless you are a nerd *ahem* who insists on 'typewriter' font for the house address numbers.

All of the above were listened to via library audiobooks.
