Doing Better

Here I am on the kitchen floor. Mom was following me around the other day, taking a bunch of pictures. Mom needs to wash the kitchen floor something awful.

Karen Jo: Yes, I do. I am afraid that housecleaning has been the last thing on my mind lately. I was following you around taking pictures because you had gotten out of your bed at last and were taking more interest in things around you. I think you are feeling better.

I am. I think it's a good thing that you are making sure that I take all my medicines, no matter what I think about it. Mom forgot to close the window today before she went to work, so I got fresh air all the time she was gone. I really liked that.

Karen Jo: It's a good thing that it didn't get too cold tonight. We were both in a really good mood today. You even played with my pajama string for a few seconds tonight. You ate up all your pro-biotic while I was gone, too. You even made a good start on your fiber tonight. I expect to find it all gone by morning.

Maybe, maybe not. I do know that I will get it one way or the other, though. You brought home something that smelled really good.

Karen Jo: I bought a package of chicken livers. I am going to boil you up a couple with celery like Victor Tabbycat suggested to see if you will eat them. I get the rest of them. I don't understand why you get all excited when I get the chicken out of the refrigerator and meow all the time that I am warming it up, then don't want it when it is ready.

I just like to keep you guessing. At least you know that there is nothing wrong with my sense of smell. I came trotting in from the living room as soon as you got the chicken out and there is no way that I could have seen you getting it out. Are you going to stay home with me all day tomorrow? I want more attention than you have been giving me lately.

Karen Jo: I have some errands to run, but I will be home with you most of the day. I haven't been giving you as much attention lately because you have been walking away from me when I try to pet you or you have been sound asleep in your bed and I didn't want to disturb you. I am glad to see you more active now.

I am enjoying the warmer weather and open window. Seeing you feel happy makes me happier, too.

Karen Jo: I will try to remember that and not let things get me down any more. I saw one of the ladies from the vet office today and she told me that you are probably getting mats so quickly now because you are shedding part of your undercoat. I am thinking about Furminating you tomorrow.

I hope it feels as good as brushing.
