Milly Cat is sitting in the window being admired by people passing by.

AKA watching cat TV.

Milly is definitely an attention tart and loves her seat in the window. 

Today she's been cuddly  :) :)

Staring at a random spot in the middle distance. You're freaking me out, mutt!

Google was quite hot when he got back from his walk with Simon this evening.
He ran and jumped straight in the chicken drinking trough where he spent several minutes wallowing and drinking  ;D

Yay! For the cat vomit.

Yay! For the affectionate nuzzle!

Pumpkin is chewing a thick length of sisal and freaking out Mrs P with the noise.

Ginge is being quite nervy and restless.
He's been at the vet's all day as we needed to get a urine sample. This is not easy with a cat. The usual method involves replacing the cat litter with special non-absorbent granules and sampling the result with a pipette. Unfortunately, Ginge will not use a tray so equipped. Last time we tried he expressed his disapproval by suing our bed at about four in the morning, with me directly beneath him.

Trouble is, he is definitely a 'poor old thing' now. He needs daily medication for a thyroid condition, is deaf, is on a special diet for his kidneys, is losing weight and has a heart murmur.

The little Dustbin Kitteh otherwise known as Pumpkin has just spent the last 10 mins puking up human food *all* round Pingu Towers  :facepalm:  :sick:

 :-\. I hope Pumpkin is okay.

Milly Cat is cross and when I left this morning was sitting in the office sulking.  Mr Boutin is here during the week to take me to hospital and she does like Mr Boutin coming home during the week, it disrupts her routine.

The vet phoned me with the results today. Basically he's no worse than the last time he was tested about three months ago.
And she's suggested that we could give him different food instead of the low protein sort as not eating properly will be worse for him than getting too much protein. Either way I think he's definitely in his twilight, but he still seems happy enough most of the time (and he did enjoy the change of diet this evening; I've not seen him licking out the bowl like that for ages).

She was fine once she'd got it all up, half an hour later it was suppertime and she was ready for her boiled chicken (which she was on to stop the runny poos she gets from extra curricular eating   :facepalm:)

Sadly she's dying.   :(

She's 14 or 15 (rescue dog, so no idea exactly) and already had a few strokes. The last few weeks have shown a marked decline. She's often confused and in her own world. She's fragile, unstable and often struggles to get up. She probably had a fit one evening last week (the vet said epileptic but there was no movement), and has just had another. Basically she just collapses, lies there motionless crying and yelping. Very distressing for all.  But after a few hours and a decent sleep she 'reconfigures' and gets back up, back to her old confused fragile (but happy and smiley) state.

The time is nearing though. We watch her closely. When the times comes, when she stops looking happy most of the time, we will call the vet. Better a week too soon than a day too late, as they say. She's had a happy life with us and we won't see her suffer unduly.

We've always been with ours and hugged them through the last injection. It's the best you can do, that and remember.  Bon courage.

Carnivore emissions always seem to be SBDs.  Comes of protein-rich diets, I think.

The kittens are attacking any human hand or foot that sticks out from under a duvet. Then each other, themselves and the dog.

Andrew, very sorry to hear about your poor old woof.  :'(

It's a time I am absolutely dreading. They're not just pets, they're part of the family.
