Monday morning with the kitty brats

 Hello.  It's Winston kitty here this morning.  The weather has been typical of March --cold, rainy, windy, mild with flurries.   Mom says she doesn't know how to dress for that kind of crazy change weather.
 She saw her first robin last week and noticed these green shoots trying to spring up through the cold earth and snow.
 Hi folks-Oscar here.   I had my second shot on Friday .  I was also informed that I have lost 2 pounds since this UTI business started.   The vet sent Mom home with an appetite stimulant.  She frets about my infection, my finicky appetite and my back legs not supporting me because of the arthritis.  In addition to the meds she is giving me extra cuddles and attention AND I was informed she wants to purchase me a cat water fountain so I won't be tempted to jump to the bathroom counter for my gourmet water!   She is looking into this right now.  
Mom also managed to get herself sick.  She says it's no wonder with the crazy weather!
 Mom wishes she could be back here at the cottage in front of the fireplace with a tea and a freshly made cookie.   If us felines could be there, too, she says it would be pefect!

 Hello.   Mom is disturbing my sink beauty nap so I can tell you what is happening.  Other than Oscar and Mom not feeling so well not much.  When I look outside I see some melting snowbanks and tree branches bending in the gusty wind.   I'll close today's post with this photo.  Mom took this photo at the park in the fall but she says the green and the sparkles make her think of spring.  We hope you all have a great week!

  1. Your mom's probably half-sick with worry, too. Lots of purrs to you, Oscar.

    It's bitterly cold here right now, minus 21 windchill, and was about that yesterday too. We want to know why spring won't hurry up and get here!

  2. Oscar, being skinny may be fashionable, but gobble up some food, will ya?! I agree with Fuzzy Tales...your momma is worried about you. Sending warm furries to you all from equally cold and wet Michigan.

    1. Mom can feel that Oscar is lighter. He does sometimes nibble on his food but he seems more interested in drinking water and cuddling with mom.
      Thanks for your warm thoughts.

    1. I'm OK with the bed. Mom has to put me in it, though. So-Mom lets me lie on my favorite spot on the back of the couch-just under the lamp-and warms up one of her own muscle heating pads , wraps in it in a soft towel, and then puts it on Oscar's back legs. She also took a small bowl and filled it with food so Oscar has something to eat close by. Purrs to you!

    1. Thanks RMSM-our Mom got weepy yesterday (don't tell her we told you). Oscar's next vet visit for the antibiotic is on Friday.
      We never even thought of that grass being edible. She is holding out on us!

  5. Oscar, we send you purrs that you feel better and eat more so you can be strong.
    We send your Mom purrs so she can get rid if that nasty cold.
    We should be getting temps in the plus side so maybe all our mountains of snow will melt! Our daffodils are still buried :/
    Purrs Georgia and Julie,

  7. Winston, you are such a beautiful boy and our Mama swoons when she sees you!

    Tell your Mama that our Mama understands how hard it is to watch Oscar fading. She went through this with angel Tulip. We know your Mama is doing everything to make Oscar comfortable and that he feels all her love and efforts.Oscar sweetie, you have friends who are thinking of you here at the cottage and who are sending you lots of love . We are also sending lots of love and support to your Mama.

    the critters in the cottage xo

    P.S. Tell your Mama to take it one day at a time otherwise she will make herself sick(er) with worry. XO
