New Moon Henry

For Caturday, we have a sleeping Henry, snoozing on a multi-colored quilt.

Artified with Prisma, the Thota Vaikuntam filter.

October 10 is a New Moon, which always means new beginnings.

Day Of Rest

Yesterday's temperatures were cool, and it rained all day.

Each Eastside Cat chose to pack it in, and laze around for the duration.

I enjoyed capturing their cuteness with my phone.

Manny, again on top of the refrigerator, with dramatic lighting.

Chili Bruce, crawled under the futon blanket.

Henry made a circle.

An update on Da Boyz' trip to the vet early last week:

Both had gained about 1/2 lb. of weight since their last visit, however the veterinarian thought they could stand to gain a bit more.

Color me surprised!

Manny:

-Has a higher PH in his urine than he should, and some crystals were evident.

Vet said NO MORE FISH cat food; the minerals in seafood can cause the crystals to form.

Chili Bruce:

-Discovered that his microchip couldn't be found, so they gave him a new one.

-Also, his teeth are getting icky again.

It's a genetic disposition, and he's already had several teeth extracted.

Henry is doing well:

-His finicky eating goes up and down; I put out two bowls for him, one with the 'good for him' food, and the other has the loose-stool-making food.

He samples both, so he's getting plenty to eat.

-Next chemo treatment #9 of 10 is September 29, and he has a vet visit that same day.

Not Felt

"The Straw Hat Riot of 1922 was a riot that occurred in New York City at the end of summer as a result of unwritten rules in men's fashions at the time, and a tradition of taunting people who had failed to stop wearing straw hats after autumn began. Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to youths choosing to harass men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15. It lasted eight days, leading to many arrests and some injuries." - Wikipedia

Therefore, Felt Hat Day is September 15.

And so, I dragged out my Cat Hats box, and with felt hats in one hand and phone in the other, I went out in search of cats:

Yeah, Henry wasn't having ANY of it!

I was lucky to walk about with all of my digits.

Look at that face!

Chili Bruce would only sit still while I held him,

Top hat!

Manny allowed the cowboy hat to rest on his noggin for only a moment.

No cats were harmed in the making of today's post; they were just annoyed for a couple of seconds.

You've Got This!

September 12 is National Day of Encouragement.

"The National Day of Encouragement in the United States was announced in 2007 and occurs each year on September 12.  It is a day to uplift and encourage people to make a positive impact in their lives." - Wikipedia

For Caturday, I played with an image of our tough-guy Henry, who is doing well.

No recollection as to which Prisma filter I used, only that it created a moody vibe for Henry, and plus you can see his wee teefs, and those big eyes!

Wins

A few recent wins that I am thankful for:

The Hubby and I walked to the farmer's market, and I was treated to the largest hot Earl Grey tea they have at a local coffee shop: The Black Cat.  The Hubby had cataract surgery on his left eye last week, and the right eye will be next week, and he's doing fabulously enough to walk with me.

My 'hood friend Sly is thin under that fur, yet he still greets me whenever I come near.

I have new ink, and have two completed sleeves.  The watermelon slice and Sherlock Holmes are easy to understand.  The diamond shapes are an adaptation of Irish neolithic petroglyph designs. 

After searching for a year, I found a new mug that holds 14 oz. of hot beverage, has a handle that fits my hand, and keeps the drink warm longer that other mugs.

Henry makes me happy, as he's gotten comfortable with his inside existence.

Chili Bruce enjoys summer sunpuddles, while stretched out on the Pink Blue chair on the south side of the house.

Manny hides his face, as he spills out of his beddy, on the north side of the house.

❤️❤️❤️

Must Stay Focused

Some Henryville humor:

Good luck, Sir Knight!

Are you sure he didn't spit it out again, Captain Kirk?

I wish...

Pill a cat!

(Thanks, ET!)

😹 😹 😹

Bossy

It's Formerly Feral Friday.

Henryville has been hopping!

Sultry.

Henry, in charge.

"Hey, I'm sleeping here!"

Although we don't yet have the blood and urine test results yet as of this post, the Monday vet visit was inciteful.

We discussed each of his meds, his food, and his habits, including loose stools.

The vet gave me prescriptions for specialty foods, for cats with intestinal woes.

Before traveling that path, we decided to see if he'd enjoy the canned food that Manny and Chili Bruce eat, and what Henry used to lick up before he didn't.

I opened a can, and Henry ate it down.

And he ate the next bowl, and the next.

Guess what I found deposited in the litter box Thursday morning?

Tootsie rolls, if that's not too graphic.

Of course, Thursday afternoon, he's avoiding that food.

What a sassy, bossy cat!

He's doing this his way, and his humans and veterinarian need to get used to it.

Will accept this cattitude; perhaps it means he's feeling better.

Melt 🥵

It's Twozday, but we've got a cat three-pack.

It's warm here, with high humidity, yet we haven't turned on the air conditioning.

The cats are surviving thusly:

Henry

Manny, on top of the fridge

Chili Bruce

And a meme that says it all!

Mooning

 July 20, 1969, as far as we know, is the date that the first humans/Earthers stepped on the Moon.

Hate to admit to it, folks, but I watched it live (or was it?) on television, with the rest of my family.

I was a kid, and have always be fascinated by space, our planets, the Sun, and distant mysteries.

As a cat enthusiast, I am sure that cats originated from outer space.

In honor of this impawtant date, please enjoy a few sillies collected from social media:

Cannot Choose

A conundrum for Caturday: unable to make up my mind on which image to choose.

So, enjoy both!

Slumber On

Incredible amounts of activity at Eastside Cats!

Managed to capture some of the chaos:

Ah-HA!

Trick image; which one is which?

Usually, CB shows up with brown fur, while Manny stays black.

This time; I cannot decide which is which.

The Hubby looked it over, and said "The black one is Manny, and the other black one is Chili Bruce."

Thanks so much, dear; dontcha have some sporting event on TV to watch?

*eyeroll*

Hey, Henry...that's my side of the bed!

Alright, it's NOT very active around here, other than the city workers who dug a huge hole in the road at the end of the street.

Machinery moving and beeping, drilling noise, scooping up rubble to toss into dump trucks, and the frustrated drivers who couldn't get through.

So, I sat on the front step, drinking tea, to watch other people do stuff, as it's pretty quiet here.

*knocking wood*

Think Outside

Yesterday, June 19, was International Box Day.

A few sillies of cats and boxes:

For Caturday, Henry was captured being incredibly cute, so I artified it on Prisma, Violinist filter.
