💐Mum!💐

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day!

❤️ Hope all you meowmy's out there enjoy your day! ❤️

Henry Update:

Henry is eating well; he continues to get the appetite stimulant and anti-nausea meds.

If he's hungry during the night, and he's licked him bowl clean, he does one of two things:

1) licks the empty bowl, rocking it so I wake up to the rattle.

2) peers in my face, so I wake up to his wee peeping meows.

Have improved my delivery of his capsules of B12 and probiotics, by simply coating them in the pill pocket goo, then down the hatch they go!

For Caturday, Henry is being so darn cute, so I snapped a photo of him, then artified it with both Prisma and Lunapic.

Forget to memorize the filters used, my bad, but I like them all!

But what do I care?

Every day is vacation for a retiree!

Thank you for the kind words for my niece on yesterday's post.

That Hard Good-Bye

Farewell, Magoo.

💔 😿 💔

My niece's cat Magoo experienced a sudden and unexpected downturn, and was helped to The Rainbow Bridge this past Saturday.

Magoo was a stray kitten found in the backyard in Ohio, and traveled to many places with his human.

I last visited with him and his fursis Eevee when in New York in 2025, and both cats slept with me on that occasion.

Love you, Magoo.

Hugs and purrs to his humom, and to Eevee.

Eevee in 2025; she's missing her big brofur.

Magoo was the first cat in my life to jump up to visit me in bed, and that is a memory that I'll always be thankful for.

💔 😿 💔

Jackie Avery from Two Devon Cats Blog, also known as Memories of Eric and Flynn left us recently.

Am sure that Celestial Eric and Flynn ran right up to her as she entered The Pearly Gates!

I broke out the Cat Hats box, and found the sombrero.

Tried Henry first; he wasn't in the mood.

He looks absolutely fiendish!

Henry: "Bring that closer, and I'll cut you!"

Next up: Chili Bruce.

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle...no chance of it sitting on his head long enough for a pic.

CB: "Not this again!"

I said, "Manny, make me proud!"

Manny: "I'm outta here!", and I followed him as he tried to distance himself.

In the end, he wore the sombrero for long enough to get some terrific images; doesn't he look like he was having fun?  So handsome!

Promise, no cats or humans were injured in the making of this photo shoot.

😹 😹 😹 

Let's Hop!

CB: "Manny, I am your brofur!"

May 4 is Star Wars Day!

"Do or do not.  There is no try."

Henry Update:

The H Man has been eating, and we've got a good med routine.

Will end these daily notes, and promise to report if anything changes.

Am taking as a good sign that he chewed his catnip fish toy to pieces; there is catnip all over the floor.

Thank you all so very much for your continued support and love for our Henry.

Follow The Path

 The First Saturday in May is World Labyrinth Day!

Learn more here at The Labyrinth Society.

Have always wanted to walk a labyrinth, but not one inside a place of worship, rather one outside in Mother Nature.

Not a labyrinth cartoon, but close enough...

It's Caturday!

Had this funny pic of Henry, looking at me like I'm wacko, so I used by Prisma app and artified it four ways, then made a collage.

Henry Update:

Henry seems to avoid any food bowl that I've mixed the powered B12 or probiotics in.

He's sneaky!

Lay awake thinking of how to get the powder-filled capsules into him, as they are big and dry, seeming a harsh thing, and what if it gets stuck?

Friday AM, I tried something new by rolling all the powder from a capsule into pill pocket goo, then tossing it down Henry's hatch along with his regular med glob.

I'm sneaky!
