4 Days Until Molly’s 3rd Birthday!

Mom and Dad keep saying my birthday is almost here, but when I look out the window, I don’t see anything.

They are making something for my birthday present.

Do you have any idea what it is? The plastic bins are just to hold the long, white thing off the floor while the paint dries. It doesn’t look like any of my toys, but they think I’m really going to enjoy using it.

My 3rd birthday is on Tuesday, April 30. They’re planning a little celebration with non-prescription treats for me and cake for them!

Kitties Enjoying the Yard and Molly’s Birthday Countdown.

All is well here. We’re spending lots of time in the yard, enjoying mild temperatures, fresh air, sunpuddles, and spring flowers. Despite the yard being plenty big enough for everyone to roam without crowding into each other, Molly insists on being Wolfie’s closest friend. She adores her big brother!

Molly joins Wolfie at one end of the yard.

And joins him again in the center of the yard.

Then Molly casually rolls into Wolfie at the other end of the yard.

He’s a super-chill kitty and a good sport about her need to be close to him.

Pearl is more comfortable inside the house, but she’s also been out for some springtime exploring. She enjoys the yard as long as there aren’t any noises from gardeners, pool guys, loud vehicles, noisy birds, breezes, etc.

Molly’s 3rd birthday countdown: 42 days.

Molly’s 3rd birthday is on May 30!
She was diagnosed with renal disease when she was 2 years old, and the vet told us she likely wouldn’t survive to her 3rd birthday. Since her diagnosis, we have taken every day as a gift and try to make it the best day for her. Molly is happy and full of energy and doing well. We’re not kidding ourselves that she has a serious health condition, and something could go wrong any day, but we’re pretty sure she’s going to make it to 3 years old!

We haven’t decided on the details of her birthday celebration, but it’s going to be fantastic.

“Sassy” the Cat Needs a Home

Update: A home has been found for Sassy! She will be loved and cared for.

Please share this info with anyone you think might be interested in adopting Sassy.

Sassy’s human suffers from a terminal heart condition and Sassy has been alone at home for weeks after her human went to the hospital and end-of-life care. Sassy is being cared for, but she is alone and lonely and needs a new forever home.

Sassy is a sweet ladycat. She’s a gentle and loving 10-year-old, spayed ladycat who is current with vaccinations and medical care. She can be adopted with all of her kitty supplies like food & furniture. She has lived with another cat. She is currently in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Transportation within a few hundred miles can be arranged.
Contact dmichaels66@gmail.com for adoption information.

Don’t let Sassy’s 10 years of life experience deter you from considering adoption. We adopted Sammi when she was older and she adjusted to our home quickly. Older kitties are very appreciative of their new forever home and since they are adults, their personality is already in place. Sweet Sassy could be the perfect loving companion for someone who doesn’t have the time or energy for crazy kittens!

Wolfie and Pearl Visit the Vet

Wolfie and Pearl went to the vet this week. Wolfie had a minor peeing incident that we wanted to check up on, and both of them were due for annual exams. They both had exams, vaccinations, lab tests, and were very cooperative with the vet staff.

Wolfie was a little unsettled during the car ride. He usually meows very quietly, but he used his big boy voice in the car. Pearl squirmed around in her carrier and told us she wasn’t thrilled about riding in the car.

If your kitties are sensitive to meows, you might want to turn down your speakers.

Wolfie had some unusual values on his urine test so we’re putting him on a prescription “urinary health” diet that is supposed to help prevent urinary crystals and stones from forming. It’s different than Molly’s “kidney health” diet, so we have to make sure each of them eats from the appropriate dish (especially Molly).

We’ll get Pearl’s results back in a day or two, but don’t expect anything to be wrong. Once the regular cat food is gone, we’ll probably have her eat the same food as Wolfie so the food dish monitoring doesn’t get too complicated.

All in all, a fairly good outcome for their vet visits.
