Kitty Stoke

Sister didn’t have other cat companions (she didn’t do well with her own sister when she was young) diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when she was 15.
Last 8 months of her life went downhill very fast.
Her hyperthyroidism medication eventually created complications lead to heart failure and kidney disease.
In the end, she was barely eating and had nothing but the skin and bones.
She died two years ago at age of 18.

Artie is so adorable.
His sound made me smile.
Longevity, Artie!

That's one of her favorite places to sprawl.

GiGi is NOT stoked right now. SFB and his goofy Newfie are our house guests this week. Poor kitty hid under the covers for 72 hours straight. Sheldon is a good dog, but GiGi is having none of it.

I love they way they lower their ears as they pass the videographer - thinking "I know you're fat shaming me in your over-sized head, you stupid phone person"

He’s starting to play again. Pretty happy cat these days.

Good looking coat too.

yeah,naw... it’s all about the aerodynamics. whilst raising the ears can deliver awesome downforce in the corners, tucking the ears can offer massive gains on the straights.




the proper compromise delivers optimal overall speeds.

Nope, it activated Stealth Mode and was basically invisible at that point.

Mr Socks goes to vet today, hope I can get him in the carrier with minimal effort.

Set the cage with the door facing up and drop the cat in. Much easier.

Thats a good idea.

I was able to wrap him in a hand towel and get the front end mostly in then a mighty shove got the rest of the way in.

I know its the right thing to do but I still feel bad about it. Bye bye naders.

Dr Marshmallow is starting to fit in more and more these days. I just wish that Jben would be a little nicer to her.
Apparently she used to live with a dog, because she has zero fear of them.

I used to just take mr. Buddy in the car with no carrier. He was ok with it and would roam around and meow. I took him into the vet in my arms.

Had Charlie now for a bit over 3 weeks. She's now gotten used to both dogs. Super comfortable with the retriever and still not a big fan of husky but will at least hang out. Of course the dog bed is one of her favorite spots..

What's in the bag? Maybe if I wait here it will emerge.

He's gotta stop going to bars and binge drinking. Hope he isn't seriously injured.

Ok so Fluffs has been wearing a cone for two weeks, while his hot spot healed over.

No scabs as of today, so I tried taking the cone off. Within two minutes he scratched the same area hard enough that he broke through the skin. Cone is back on and I feel pretty bad that I rushed getting it off of him.

So now I'm thinking the cone will need to stay on until the fur is completely grown back, which I assume will be another couple weeks. Who knows if he'll scratch again at that point.

KInda thinking a sock (or sticky vet wrap) covering his claws might help? I'm thinking he'd be obsessed with trying to get the sock off, but then again, he's adapted somewhat well to the cone, so maybe not.

Calling the vet Monday, in the meantime curious if anyone has any experience here. (The vet doesn't think the original itching was 'psychological', rather it stemmed from an allergic reaction to something that we weren't able to identify.)

I’m experienced with OCD cat. It’s tough. It needs to be completely healed before you take the cone off and then only short periods. He’s been thinking about that scab for two weeks. I had Chao in the cone for two months! It’s very hard to watch them struggle with cone day after day. Soft Cone (Comfy Cone) is great. So easy to get on and off. Highly recommend. Psychological is part but so is physical. Fish oil will help his dry skin. I use a syringe to feed Chao. He likes it ok too. I also use fur mouse and flea medicine every two weeks. Chao is in good shape. Very little compulsive grooming these days.

It’s a battle. You can win if you’re willing
