Tranquil

It's Sweetnesday, and The Swee Wee is quietly enjoying Spring.

Actually for her, the seasons are all the same, except windows are opened more often when the temperatures are higher.

At her recent veterinary visit, she'd gained a smidge of weight, we decided to try Gabapentin, and a lump was discovered between her shoulder blades.

The vet's staff will avoid giving any injections in that area, hoping it's a reaction to past jabs, and may not increase.

We are hoping it's nothing, and will simply pamper her as much as she allows.

Am determined to remain hopeful, and as tranquil as she is.

Well, except between say 2 and 4 am most mornings, when she must make sure some human is paying attention to her enough to lull her back to sleep.

Am happy to be a comfort.

😻❤️😻

Ball of Fire!

It's Sweetnesday!

Today, let's look at the many moods of Wee Cheetie Sweetie:

Unimpressed

Inscrutable

Impassive

Yep, she's just a whirlwind! 😹

Sweetie's latest Solensia vet visit proved that she'd gained a whisper of weight, which is fabulous as I was really concerned that she'd lost.

As for the appetite stimulant, I've scored a few more times with pilling her by waking her up from sleep!

Yeah, it's not playing cricket, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

❤️❤️❤️

Four Legged Furballs

1. My favorite place to read is while sitting in the library.

The quietude is just the best place to gobble up books.

2. My favorite genre to read is British mystery, especially police procedurals.

Especially enjoy the audiobooks, narrated by delightful folks with lovely accents.

3. "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" is a book I could read over and over again.

What can I say?  I'm a Sherlockian, as The Great Detective enjoyed his retirement.

4. The book series "Dresden Files" inspired me to let my book-loving geek flag fly by joining FB groups with others who feel the same.

Am now a member of many author and book groups; it's so much fun to yammer away about our newly found favorite book, or genre, or anything Outlander, Rebecca Yarros, Tana French, Anthony Horowitz, etc.

Sweetie's Solensia shot vet visit showed that she's lost a tiny bit of weight.

We'll work hard to get her to eat up, and those shots are a huge help to her.

Looking Good!

It's Sweetnesday!

February, 2019, and somehow Sweetie allowed a few snaps that turned out wonderfully.

After this post is published, Sweetie and I venture to the veterinarian's office for her monthly Solensia shot.

Poor Sweetie seems to unusually uninterested in any flavor or brand of food that I put down for her.

Maybe her last pain-relieving shot wore off early, and being hurty has reduced her appetite.

Here's hoping she'll be gobbling up her chow later today.

🍤🐟🍗

UPDATE: Sweetie is eating, she's received her shot, and she didn't even yell at me too much.

On Her Way to Chubby

Post vet visit nap, in the Sweetie Spa

Very thankful today, that Sweetie gained a wee bit of weight since her last vet visit:

May: 7.00 lbs

August: 6.88 lbs

Early September: 6.72 lbs

Late September: 7.60 lbs

October: 7.75 lbs

November: 7.88 lbs

December: 7.92 lbs!

⭐🌟⭐

So very pleased, after her weight drop off earlier this year, that she's doing well.

The vet said that the most important thing is for her to eat; taking her meds is secondary.

We've tried this and tried that over time, never with 100% success.

I found small portioned cat food, and break open one of these multiple times a day.

Fresh food seems to attract her, and am tweaking the amounts so we have as little waste as possible.

And, conversely, we don't want her swelling up like a balloon either!

😹

Speckled

It's Sweetnesday!

Our Miss Growly Pants may be a housepanther, yet she's speckled with fine white hairs all over.

Her paws and legs.

Her chest (that's dusty fuzz on her face!)

Her whiskers really shine in the sun.

Sweetie received her sixth Solensia injection last week, along with a six-month check-up.

She'd lost some weight, and mention of her usual morning bomit sessions caused the veterinarian to take blood and urine samples (no results yet), and prescribed an appetite stimulant.  

Afraid of over-stimulating to the point of being kept up all night while Sweetie begs for food, we crushed up 1/4 of one wee pill, and I dust in only a few grains into her food.

It works; she eats up her meals lickety-split!

Here's hoping her next weigh-in will read over 7 lbs.

The Venerable Eric is 21

Today is Eric's 21st birthday!

Eric owns my dear friend ET in British Columbia, Canada.

He's living the good life; gets whatever food he wants, is allowed free reign in the house, and is often carried like a baby.

Happy Birthday, Doopy!

🎈😻💖🙌🎂

Vet Lap Cat

It's Sweetnesday!

Queen Sweet had her Solensia shot, along with a pawdicure and an 'undercarriage' comb-out.

She was rarin' to get out!

An Usie with Sweetie, The Lap Cat!
So happy...I almost cried.

Back home again, with her head mashed into her Sweetie Spa.

Sweetie does not allow her humans to trim her nails (hence, the sobriquet 'Murder Mitts'), nor can I comb her underarms, tummy, or nether regions.

Don't like the idea that her tangled furs might pull and be ouchie.

Yes, The Eastside Cats paid for the veterinarian's new boat over the past week.

P.S. Thank you kindly for the comments for Manny and Chili Bruce, after their dentals.

They are doing well: eating normally, using the box normally, but maybe not so playful.

😽😽😽

Spry

It's Sweetnesday!

You don't know how terrific it is, to see Sweetie move about like this.

Monday, she received her second Solensia shot (and another matted fur brush out), and this video was taken just hours later.

Solensia is for arthritis; a monthly injection.

While I cannot easily pill Sweetie, stuffing her into a carrier and getting her to the vet's office is within my abilities.

This visit proved that her weight is stable, and the next visit will include a blood pressure check, and a inspection by her veterinarian.

Waiting to see the vet tech, glaring daggers!

Thankfully, Sweetie didn't hold this supreme intrusion to her dignity against me, maybe because she's less achy.

😺😻😺
