Sun is Good

Dandelion gets the best places in the sun, but usually there is enough leftover for me, too. Myst is not big on sleeping in the sun, preferring dark secret places like the chair under the desk. He likes the monitor so much that he gets pretty warm while Dandelion and I are too big and heavy to be comfortable there though we are pretty warm, too.

Getting Better

There is Myst again. Because he sleeps by Terry and her clicking box right where she works, he gets lots of clicks made.

I am doing ok. I was a little sick yesterday, but I have gotten over that and I was very demanding today for attention which Terry takes as a good sign.

Getting Even Better

The sun shines so well in our windows in the winter. I can't get enough of these rays. I took my daily trip to the vet to get my medicine and now I am glad to be home. I was brushed so well this morning and Terry was glad to see me actually pouncing on Myst, for a change.

Quietly Getting Better

Wow! Time flies when you are mostly sleeping. I got my staples out and I did not make a peep. In fact, I think my vocal cords were greatly reduced in power and I will not be singing in the bathroom much anymore. This makes Terry sad because now I have a very soft meow and she is used to long conversations with me. It's ok, I think. I am down to just one pill a day and I do not have to go on special catfood because I am too finicky of an eater. The vet just prefers I take a pill every day then eat what I want. That works for me, though I HATE pill taking times!

In the Wheelbarrow

I love this wheelbarrow that the family has padded and set up for cats. We even have a step stool to get up here. And the best thing is the sunlight which shines in and makes us feel all cozy. Most of the time, I like sleeping here more than in the house (cause this is more like a den than a garage and is well insulated and cozy and it is never used for cars anyway). Now that I am having to swallow pills when I am in the house, I find being out here with Dandelion EXTRA enjoyable these days.

Useful Winter Tool

Myst spends more and more time on the monitor. Terry already wonders what to do when the day comes that she has to get a flat panel. She is thinking of getting him a heated bed because she loves his company up there.

I get my stitches/staples out on Friday and I will start my new cat food diet that Dandelion can share with me, the vet said. She will make a gradual change over for us. I hope I like this new food. I hope Dandelion does and I also hope I can still have a moist treat once in a while.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM MY CAT (AND THEN SOME)

Before I found out how sick I was, I promised to review a book. Terry says being sick can be a good time to read cause humans are supposed to stay still while recovering and books help them do so.

This book is titled "ALL I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM MY CAT (AND THEN SOME)" by Suzy Becker.

Personally, I think humans need to learn more from cats. We are always trying to train them. The advice in this book is very good. One page says to "Be a Good Listener," something I work hard at making sure my pets understand. They still need practice.

Another page advises us to know all of the sunny places. I take this very seriously. Thank goodness winter around here is a time when the sun seems to shine in the windows more.

And my humans have not yet learned to "wash behind your ears" inspite of my trying to show them every day.

This entire book was cute, funny and sweet.
