There is going to be a blogpost slow down. There are so many things going on, I don’t have much time for this. I will try and pop something out every now and then until things return to normal. The cats are all well. Below we have Zeke and his buddy Scooby hanging out together in their “bromance” in a photo from January.
Zeke and Scooby (pre-illness)
My name is Scoob,
And I am no boob!
I’m a mystery cat.
Who knows where I was at?
Why put me in the shelter?
My life went helter-skelter!
I had problems with my bladder.
It hurt badder, badder, badder!
Til they took me to the vet.
Took all the drugs that I could get.
It only made me worse
And nearly put me in a hearse!
Then other things went wrong–
I wouldn’t last for long.
I heard angels at the door
As I lay on the cage floor.
But they put me in the car,
And drove me not too far,
Where I got expert care
From my new doctors there.
Now I am home
And free to roam,
And play new tricks.
Guess what? I’m six!
Scooby
This is an update on Scooby for those who are interested.
In short his blood glucose was good and he is now off of his insulin injections. He is still on his diabetic diet. Hopefully we will not have a relapse. He is under the care of a new group of veterinarians. Today I post a photo of him before he was ill with Zeke and Marigold, and an after illness photo with Zeke. He was a 14 pound cat and now he is a 10 pound cat soaking wet.

Checking my photographs I see I have taken only a few of Opie all this year! Where has she been hiding? Here she is ready to celebrate Spring by getting out to do the yard work.
Opie ready for Spring
Easter holiday is here, and I want to remind people those white Easter lilies are deadly to cats if they eat them!!! Otherwise, have a great celebration.
Marigold sleeps in her orange cat bed most of the time. For that reason, it became time to give it a wash. It is over 6 years old. I got it at Walgreens. It seems to wash in the machine OK on gentle cycle and cold water. It must drip dry. I am afraid to put it into the dryer! It’s shape is getting a little saggy, but it is soft. Compare it to the tiger bed which has hardly been washed at all.

Marigold is not happy. She cannot find her bed.
Can I sleep in here?
Can I sleep in this box?
The good news is that the cat bed is clean and upon the drying rack. The face and tail are still intact. Soon Marigold can go back into her bed!

Scooby is back to his normal self. Here he is out in the catio again enjoying the weather. Wednesday it is back to the vet for another blood test and more instructions.
