For Caturday, my old friend King Sly was out the other day.

Artified with Prisma, Walnut filter.

His eyes look so crazy!

Henry Update:

Henry is eating regularly, sometimes even cleaning a bowl, and then demanding more.

He's getting food multiple times a day, even at 3 am when he squeaks into my sleeping ear.

I can always nap, but he needs to keep eating.

Henry, laid out on top of the quilt, with his rear end and back legs against my body (gray & white stripes).

#418NoDeclaw

 April 18 is International No Declaw Day, because cats have four paws, with 18 nails.

We all know the drill: cat's paws need claws.

Full stop.

Don't do it.

Henry Update:

Paws crossed, the anti-nausea med has made a difference.

Friday morning, the full bowl of noms left overnight* was empty.

I put out his breakfast, and he ate it.

He ate the snack I put out (breakfast #2), then ate his dinner, and now licked up another snack.

Henry's become a gentle sweetie, tolerating a lot of handling with little collateral damage.

Keep on chowing down, dude, and we are all going to do a happy dance.

*We don't leave food out for any of the Eastside Cats normally, but rules were relaxed in an attempt to coax Henry to eat.

It's Caturday, and of course it's Henry's mug that I've artified with Prima's Jellyfish filter.

Don't Stray

April 4 is a day dedicated to increasing awareness of stray animals (pets who have been abandoned or lost, as opposed to domestic species born in the wild who are referred to as “feral” or "community" animals), and their neglect, abuse, malnourishment and suffering.

Get your pawed family member microchipped, and keep the online information up to date.

For Caturday, I artified Henry with Prisma, filter Surf.

Henry Update:

He's eating, both canned cat food and churus.

We've successfully pilled (appetite enhancer), squirted (Gabapentin, to mellow him), and eye dropped (conjunctivitis eradicator).

The cone is removed, yet 'My Little Antenna Dish' will remain as a nickname.

Henry looks like he's hungover after a night on the town.

He eating, and he allows handling too.

❤️ Henry! ❤️

Today is Respect Your Cat Day!

For Caturday, here's Henry before the Great Escape of yesterday, when he was happily napping with me.

He may believe that we'd disrespected him.

I understand that; being shoved into a carrier to be poked and prodded by strangers is NOT at all how royalty prefers to be treated.

Will only apologize for making you scared, Henry; if you aren't well, we need an expert to find out how to help you.

I used Prisma, Corn Filter.

Turnaround

January 31 is National Backyard Day!

Backwards Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on January 31. 

On this day, norms get flipped. 

Everyday activities are done in reverse.

It’s all about challenging conventions. 

It’s also about having fun by doing things differently than we usually do.

Ideas:

Wear your clothes inside out.

Eat dessert first.

Walk backwards!

It's Caturday!

Leftover from Wednesday's National Hat Day post, we had a funny pic of Manny in the straw cowboy hat.

It's Caturday!

Chili Bruce was insisting on a taste of our dinner, and was being very pushy!

I snapped a photo of him, then jazzed it up using Lunapic.

Sorry, I've forgotten what filter and which border!

At My Feets

It's Caturday!

Henry spends a lot of time at my feet under the desk.

I put this pic through a couple filters on Prisma; sorry, I didn't keep track of which ones.

I like the way his eyes are bright green.
