It is a cold, overcast Sunday. There is a big pot of chicken veggie soup bubbling in my slow cooker. I am hoping that it is ready for supper. I've been craving cozy the past week. This photo is from a cabin my family rented several years ago. It was in Amish country and we enjoyed our "girl's night"!
In the last 2 weeks Winston has been to the vet's office twice. Both times they did tests and determined that he was constipated. They sent him home with the white powder they called PEG. Thankfully, it seems to be helping.
Winston will turn 17 years old this year. He has stage 2 kidney disease. I worry about him. I also try very hard to make sure he is well taken care of and as comfortable as I can make him. Just an hour ago he and Emily were fighting over who would get to sleep in the new cat carrier :)
Usually, Winston wins! This photo was taken at the vet's office. The office cat is very friendly. Sadly, Winston was in no mood to socialize!
Miss Emily makes my heart feel lighter with her silly antics! She goes crazy for the dragon fly on the wand toy. After she is so tuckered out she has to rest.
Early last week, on my walk to work, I encountered a kitty who looked quite rough on the side walk. He meowed at me and ran after me for a bit. I stopped and chatted with him. then I looked through my lunch to see if I had anything suitable for a cat to eat but had nothing safe to offer him. This cat reminded me of Hermonie Granger's cat, Crookshanks, in the Harry Potter movie. I called a rescue group for advice. I also now carry cat food in my coat pocket. I haven't seen the little guy since. I pray he just had a scap with another cat after being let outside and is now being tended at home.
Between 3 vet visits, an unexpected visit to the dentist to replace a lost filling, my booster shot and that poor feline, I am ready to enjoy some soup and read a good book. I hope everyone is doing OK. Recently, at work, someone told me that they were "pandemic fine" which I guess is as good you can hope for on some days :)
Stay safe. STay warm. Hug your felines. I am going to close with some funnies/thoughtful images from Pinterest.
We send purrayers and Power of the Paw to Winston - and the putdoor kitty - and Emily - and you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, catladymac!
DeleteChicken and veggie soup is the best!
ReplyDeleteFriday night (Shabbat) wouldn't be the same without it.
Purrs and oodles of POTP to Winston. Kitty kisses to him and to Miss Emily and Valentibe's Day good wishes.
chicken veggie soup is amazing :)
DeleteThanks for the visit and the purrs.
I will keep Winston in my prayers. I am glad the medicine is helping. XO
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is very much apprecicated.
DeleteYou definitely deserve some peace and cozy. Sending you, Winston, Emily, and that little kitty purrs, prayers and light.
ReplyDeleteHello, thanks for dropping by!
DeleteWe're sending our purrs and purrayers to Winston and to you too (and of course Emily). Also to that roaming cat, that s/he has food and shelter, poor love. ♥
ReplyDeleteStay warm and cosy and enjoy your soup. We don't know what your temps are your way this Monday AM, but here it's minus 20C BEFORE the windchill. NOT. GOING. OUTSIDE!
P.S. Maybe someday we can be more than "pandemic fine." That's a good way to put it, though. Hugs and kitty kisses.
Hi Kea, It has been cold here as well. Good plan to stay inside with cozy feline :)
DeleteAnytime I see a cat, I wonder if it's a stray, and if I could just pick it up...
ReplyDeleteTake care, Winston...happy pooping!
When we took Da Boyz to the vet for dental procedures, they both enjoyed sleeping in their carriers for days afterward...weird!
Happy Valentine's Day, and hugs and purrs.
I wanted to pick the stray up and take it somewhere safe.
DeleteI laughed at happy pooping :) That would have made for an interesting title.
Take care
Poor Winston! I am glad he is getting some relief. It's so hard when they are older. LOVED the photo of the fireplace at the cabin you stayed at. I love your posts because they always exude warmth and gentleness. Hoping that kitty you met has a home too! Ugh about your filling! LOVED the Guardian Angel quote, too funny! Stay warm and cozy and (((hugs)) and kisses to the furbabies!
