Updates and running commentary from our critters

The grand cat, a petite little pistol, likes to jump up and snuggle down in a hood if you happen to be wearing a hoodie, or a shirt or jacket for that matter. She’s barely 6#.

Jake aka Lil Ole Man is tiny and weighs next to nothing. Neither of our previous roommates— the chonkster in particular — would’ve fit on our shoulders or neck.

The Asian type cats, Abbys, Siamese, etc. jump onto shoulders like this. I’m glad my Tonkinese only weighs 8 lbs. A few times she did it while I was changing clothes and jumped onto my bare skin … no bueno.

Hmmm. Monkey boy was a Snowshoe, which is in the Siamese family, and therefore very vocal, but he never climbed either of us. We do have a sizable climbing tree and several perches to indulge in.

In my experience, it’s been from lean bodied cats … maybe Jake has some Siamese blood.

Oh yeah I asked, and the techs were very apologetic and frustrated with the doc.

Nope. We get to continue torturing the poor boy for another 10 days. One of the drops we’ve already been giving him twice a day, PLUS another drop of antibiotics ONCE a day, plus a gel that is supposed to deal with dryness :frowning:

He’s a real sweetheart about it, tho. Here’s hoping those all together do the trick!!!

I have way too much experience medicating cats. As I can attest, having a sweetie really helps.

I’ve only had one cat that was okay to pill. That’s one out of a dozen or so.

Enduring my singing is the price all Kittehs here have had to pay. They don’t mind the Chicken Song - it means FUD is about to be served.

I love it and I have never met your cat, only know him from here.

He is a very handsome boy with a great sense of humor and a disturbingly strong belief in the castle doctrine. As a result, entertaining at our home is a challenge.

The art is a truly great representation of your description.
