Our little lioness
Just catching up here...
Last Friday I took Julia to the vet for a summer shave. I had to get up early, before the cats were fed according to Pumpkin's diabetes schedule. Julia tried to claw her way out of the carrier on the way up. I think she figured she was going to That Place. :-P
Fortunately, she behaved well enough during the actual shave that she didn't need to be sedated, which would have been a lot more expense for me.
Now Julia looks like two separate cats stuck together. Her head and her neck ruff are the same, but she has a really skinny little body. She has little white booties around her ankles and a big poof at the end of her gray tail. She looks like some sort of fantastic heraldic beast. Maybe I ought to post a photo of her to the Atlantian heralds' list and ask folks to blazon it. :-D
Julia hasn't changed her behavior much since the shave. I think she was just glad to come home the same day.
Surprisingly, Pumpkin didn't seem to gloat over the fact that he was the only cat in the house for a few hours. He mostly slept except for his medication and feeding.
I know that two people on my friends' list have seen their cats cross the Rainbow Bridge this past week, and a third person has a cat who seems to be quite ill. I'm sorry for imposing these mundane details of cathood on you.
