Posted by in cats I think it’s been a couple weeks since I updated you on Miss Amelia. She’s doing better, and quite content to hang out in a warm place! At night, she sleeps on a nest of blankets behind the futon. Don’t ask me why, but that’s where she wants to sleep, so I put a thrown…Read more »
Posted by in cats Amelia’s eyes are improving every day now. The new drops the vet recommended last Friday are working wonders. Along with the healing, however, I think there’s some itching, and today Amelia started scratching her eyes with his hind leg and front paw. I don’t want her undoing the good the drops are doing for her,…Read more »
Posted by in cats Amelia is doing a bit better, thankfully. She’s an incredibly sweet cat, a lap cat at that, with very soft fur. Once she’s all healed up, she’ll make someone a wonderful companion. Her upper respiratory condition is better, not gone, but a good bit better. She doesn’t have to work hard at breathing now, but…Read more »
Posted by in cats It isn’t often that I go to bed at 3 am, but when I do, it is usually after a very late night visit to the animal ER. As was the case last night. Amelia’s eyes got worse as the night wore on yesterday, and when I got up (from a nice 2 hours of…Read more »

A kind soul, who feeds outdoor cats, had a small cat wander to her early am feeding today, and the cat was pretty ill with the kind of stuff that outdoor cats get in the winter especially. Lots of upper respiratory stuff – she’s snuffling pretty good.…Read more »
Our poor critters can’t seem to catch a break lately. Bodhi’s second eye looks bad, and the vet kindly scheduled him for surgery tomorrow morning (this morning by the time you see this), on New Year’s Eve because it really can’t wait. We’re sorting out how he will get the meds he has been getting…Read more »
Posted by in cats Luke and Leia are very excited…well, maybe it is me who is very excited. They have an approved couple that plans to adopt them both in January once Leia is spayed. They haven’t all met yet, but that happens Monday and I will be surprised (and very disappointed!) if it falls apart. They’ve seen pictures…Read more »
Posted by in cats One of my favorite bloggers posted a wonderful group of landscape photos taken all over the world on her previous trips just to remind us all that there is still beauty in this world, even in the midst of some pretty dark or challenging days. (Her photos are exquisite, and I envy her eye and…Read more »
Posted by in cats For the last fourteen years I’ve worked on Thanksgiving, usually a full pet sitting schedule. And the universe’s favorite trick for holiday pet sitters is sick animals…it rarely fails. I’ve written a number of posts over the years about sick client pets during the holidays. This year, due to the pandemic, not much pet sitting.…Read more »
