Myst wants to know why everyone keeps looking at him with an analytical gaze. He wants them to know that he is happy, healthy and feeling fine, thank-you.
Here's Rocky again. I do not know how he can sleep that way. I would never hang off anything like that. I hope he wakes up very carefully!
Here's an older picture of Myst with catnip. It is said that 1 out of 3 cats is immune to catnip. I saw that. Buzzy (who has since passed away) was totally immune to it and could never understand why Dandelion and I loved it so much. Now Myst is just as crazy for it. I hope our pet humans grow a big batch of it this year.
I am just doing my morning bird check. All of us cats do. We live near a creek and often migrating flocks of dessert, er, birds land in the yard. I've told them a thousand times to come over here where I can catch them, but they never listen.
Everything is back to normal. We can all sleep again. Myst had dilated eyes and acted insane - meowing without ceasing until he got hoarse as a side effect of the appetite stimulant he was given and nobody could sleep around here except Dandelion (the master at sleeping in this house).
The vet called and said Myst could come home yesterday evening! He looked much better and more alert. I was thrilled and followed him everywhere but I stayed at least 3 feel away because he smelled different and he was too alert.
Thank-you all for your kind letters and concern. Myst is staying at the vets for now, making sure he eats, has no more constipation and gets shots for antibiotics instead of pills so his digestion is not as affected. He looks forward to coming home. (Terry says visiting is difficult because Myst wants to go home with her, but it is good for Myst to stay there.) He was a little dehydrated too. He is eating now, not as much as we'd like, but then he is a small sickly cat. Shaded Silver Persians are wonderful cats with the best of personalities. Purebred cats are great though breeders need to be even more careful to avoid too closely bred cats with this rarer group of them.
Myst stopped eating and had to go back to the vet's for tests. Terry think the antibiotic is making him sick and of course, all the surgery he had and all has probably killed his appetite.
It is good to see Myst getting a little active again. I wish he would chase me more and I follow him around (there's still a strange smell about him), but he mostly just sits and watches the birds. He is not eating much and we are a bit worried but maybe that is just how it goes after surgery. At least he is drinking well, preferring this sink water to anything else.
I see wonderful flying and hopping things outside and they will not come into the house, darn it! I even stand and pound on the door to get them to come in here. They won't obey me... this is so frustrating!
It's a great day for sleeping - just slightly cool and this blanket set out for me is nice and soft. I think my humans are mildly amusing as they point clicking boxes at me and make funny noises so I look at them. They are pretty good pets, I must say.
This is Myst today as he watches the birds. It is good to see him up and around instead of sleeping all the time. He is slowly getting his energy back. I am cautious of him. He still smells like medicine, but he is too tired to bother getting mad at me for being so afraid, so things are settling back to normal.
Well Myst came home yesterday, but I have not seen him. It was raining and he hates rain so he went off to sleep in a dark place under the sofa. He also needs to sleep more from having the surgery and all. We have not crossed paths yet.
Myst is sick again. He has another urinary tract infection we think. He had one just a month or two ago. We are at a loss. He eats Science Diet (and we checked lot numbers for the bad stuff which fortunately did not come here). He has a very clean environment, but he is a small and more sickly cat overall which is why we adopted him permanently. Because he is so small, it takes extra care for the vet to check him. Terry thinks he is the tiniest Persian she had ever seen (and the sweetest, she says) but she has not see how sneaky Myst can be. He can hide and pounce on me very very well!
I am so glad the weather has turned warmer. It makes me even sleepier but I like feeling warm no matter where I sleep and I sleep in more places in the summer - even in my cat bed sometimes, but often on the master bed or sofa. *Yawn*
I love to sit on the newspapers in the recycling bin. In fact, the family has nicknamed me "Bin Muddy." I am not sure I like that name, but I do love sitting in here. Happy 50th Birthday to Richard today! (He's the one who takes the recycling bin out every week.)
My human, Terry, has been sick for a while and I guess she is feeling a bit down. She wonders if she lives too much of her life at a computer as she sees friends being more active, but its what she likes to do, but she wonders if she should like being more active.
Lots of brushing and a some petting and I am happy. Myst gets in moods where he wants lots of petting or none, but Dandelion ALWAYS likes petting and he licks his humans if they stop. I watched him get all the petting a cat could get in a day and it still wasn't enough. This probably explains why he is the only cat in the house who loves strangers.
I love the view here. Terry says whoever is on top is "King of the Cat Pole." Today, I rule!
Myst is little and, unlike me, likes to be carried around sometimes. Well half the time, I just pretend to not like it and I mutter a lot when I am held, but I would miss being scooped up now and then if it ever stopped.
Not just the laundry, but the entire laundry room deserves inspection. I smell pine on that mop. Terry tries to mop when we cats are not around because she's heard that detergent might be bad for our feet even thought she rinses it up and sometimes dries the floor with a towel.
