Stasis

It’s been more than a week since I’ve written about the household, so I thought I’d apprise those interested on how the cats are doing. And show off more pictures of the beasts.

I am still waiting on Tucker’s full recovery from his cold. It has probably progressed to a mild infection right now, as he sneezes only once in a while, and sniffles even less often. But there is still some congestion present. I was considering obtaining some antibiotics for his condition, but I don’t know that it requires it. He is definitely healing, though he is taking his time. I would not be concerned much at all, but I still must schedule his dental surgery, and that is something I want done soon. Aside from the sneezing and snuffling sounds that he periodically makes, the roly poly is himself.


Cammie has recovered from her latest attack of what I believe is an allergy. In this picture, you may be able to discern the red scabs of where the sores on the sides of her head bled out. This attack was more severe than previous, but it was occasioned, so I think, by the substitute food I gave her to stimulate her appetite when she was ill. The nutrition served its purpose, but the princess reacted to it adversely, at least in appearance. So far as I could tell, she remained otherwise unaffected.


Josie and Renn remain healthy and happy. Or so I tell them.

Life continues well in the new refuge. There is little new here, but someone asked about the beasts, so I decided to update the blog. My holidays are approaching: only five weeks away, they are coming a bit earlier this year. Since I won’t be travelling at all, the chronology makes little difference to me. Just being off from work - and spending more time with the cats - is my holiday.

  1. Thanks for the update!

    Maybe Tucker secretly knows he has a dental on the horizon, so is milking the cold for all its worth. :-D

    We hope *everyone* will be/will stay healthy indefinitely.

    Purrs and peace.

  4. Thank you for the update. I do hope Tucker gets over his bout of illness soon. The mysterious skin allergy that Cammie had seems awfully similar like Holly's skin condition - but she is bothered by it. I hope spring is coming your way soon.

    1. Where does Holly's allergy affect her? What does it look like?

  5. Glad to hear that everyone is finally recovering. Poor Tucker has been under the weather for quite some time. And poor Cammie, a reaction to food she needed to eat. Her reaction does sound like an allergy. I can't serve Fancy Feast Fish and Shrimp ( imported from Thailand) without some raw spots developing on some of my cats faces. ( After reading about Nestle's inhumane reatment of fisherman, I stopped buying It completely.)
    Sometimes we take our kitties good health a bit for granted. Hurrah for Ren and Josie.

    1. The spots on the faces may be similar to Cammie's, so it's interesting to read about your cats' aversion to the shrimp. The Cat Blogosphere makes a great deal of information and communication available to a cat-fancier! Thank you!

  6. Glad to hear everyone is on the mend. Hope Tucker is over his bout with the congestion very soon. I always used to enjoy 'staycations' when I worked. I was away from home so much being AT home was great.

  7. I hope that Tucker is soon completely over his cold so you can get the dental done. It is good to hear everyone is doing well.

  8. Thanks for your update. Hopefully Tucker will soon be over his kitty cold. Like you, I enjoy stay-at-home vacations. It's been quite a few years since I've traveled - I miss my cats too much while I'm away.

    1. I could get a cat-sitter, I suppose, but I don't think I would trust them, especially with Tucker's diabetes and Cammie's recurrent allergic reactions.

    2. I understand your feelings completely. After all, no one takes care of your cats as well as you do.

  9. Good to hear that everyone is on the mend. Perhaps Tucker is holding off as he really doesn't want to visit the dentist.

    A staycation sounds good to me.

  10. Staycations are a great way to rest and catch up. You and the cats and a pile of books I am sure is something to look forward to. The older I get the less inclined I am to travel away, as I like being at home.
