He's a sweet kitty. I love his morning cat faces and the stories you tell about him. I hope you have many more years together.

Thank you. I worried that people would be annoyed with morningCATface but overall folks seem to like or even look forward to it. He's back into snuggle kitty mode and we are both happeri for it.

I am so glad that you got lucky. This year has been so hard on you, and Ishmael has been there for you through all of of it. All my healing thoughts to him.

[shelly_rae]

Thank you. We did get lucky this time. No more outside treks for this guy though.

Oh goodness gracious. I'm glad Ishmael is on the mend. Thank you for letting us know. I've been wondering ever since I saw the picture with the cast. *hugs* to you for being a brave cat mom.

He's doing much better. He's trying to get me to play the "catch the light" game but he's still supposed to be resting. Silly kitty.

I've been wondering, too. Thanks for the detailed and fully illustrated story. ::hugs:: to you and to Ishmael.

Thank you and a big hug back. Our biggest struggle now is the pills. He's no longer willing to eat the pill pocket. I'm pretty good at shoving the pill down his throat. So far....

I am so glad that he is recovering, poor baby.

Thanks. He seems none the worse for wear today. Except for the indignity of getting pilled.
