Another Cat Blog

Yes, there has been a lot of cat blogging going on this week, but it's either this or the weather which it happens to be snowing again anyway.

Budha and Pest have a new favorite hiding spot.

That is because I moved their basket close to the fireplace which finally works after I got it fixed this week. That's a good thing because as I said it's snowing today.

Toothless Wonder

I picked Budha up from the vet tonight. She's fairly groggy, but the first thing she did when she got home was go straight for the food dish. She must be trying to get her girth back. Who's ever seen a skinny Budha? The second thing she did was go straight for my water glass. Somethings never change.

Turns out the vet needed to take out 7 teeth, which in addition to the other 2 she's had pulled before, means she only has her front teeth and canines left. It's kind of sad, but still funny to watch her drink water tonight. It's somewhat similar to how anyone of us drinks water after going to the dentist.

Looks like at least one kitty will be on the soft food from now on.

What did I tell you?

Given up

I have finally given up trying to get the kitties to drink out of my water glass and have fooled them with giving them one of their own. So far it is working.

Kitty Loaf

Some mild drama in the life of the Eastman kitty cats this week. Budha needs to go in for some minor surgery. I took her to the vet today after realizing she had stopped eating and dropped some weight recently. In fact, she's lost 2 lbs, and when you weigh just over 10lbs, 2lbs is a lot. She is a svelt 8.2 lbs now. Anyway, took her to the vet today and turns out she needs to get a couple of teeth pulled, that's why she's not eating. Funny thing is, the vet said she wouldn't be "upset" if Budha stayed at the weight she is.... Is she calling my cat a fattie mcfatterson? To be honest, Budha did not get her name from being the thinnest cat on the block, which just goes to show, you can't even be a fat cat these days and get away with it. There's even peer pressure on my poor kitty cat to be a svelt 8-9 lbs instead of her large and in charge 11-12 lb. I wonder if she'll have any body image issues from this whole ordeal?

The vet also referred to her age several times and said things like "at her age" you can't expect her to bounce back as quickly. Is 13 the new 65 in cat years?
