A Sadie while I work from home

 I could hardly believe my eyes a couple of weeks ago. Sadie came and sat on the futon behind me as I worked from home one day. She'd never done that before.

Thrifty Thursday: Wand cat toy

 

This is Ringo. I told Mom that I wanted to host today's Thrifty Thursday. On Monday, Mom had a vacation day and in the afternoon, she went to something called a Goodwill Outlet in Milwaukee. You dig through bins and buy items by the pound.

Mom found a wand cat toy, and it's my new favorite! I carry it all around the house and deliver it to Dad's bathroom door.

I let Mom photograph it, but now it's mine again. I hope she goes there again because I'd love to have another cat toy like this. She says she will keep a lookout for me.

Chillin' Ringo

 Ringo was acting so cute on the upstairs cat tree. Thankfully, he doesn't bother the ivy plant nearby.

Two kitties in a basket

 Check out this cuteness! Lucy and Ringo both squeezed into the old wicker bed. We've had this bed for many years; it was Benny's when he was a kitten. We love that the kitties still use it.

Thrifty Thursday: Another cat pin

 

I found a rather unusual pin recently.

Bonus! This isn't secondhand, since I purchased it new at Marshall's over the weekend. I couldn't resist the design of this shirt.

Lovely Lucy on my legs

 

She's really getting into this lap thing.

I'm trying to sleep, but. . .

 Mom keeps waking me up by taking photos!

Mom wanted me to let you know that Sadie didn't feel too well last week. She had vomiting, diarrhea, and wasn't very interested in eating. Then she developed a URI and was sneezing a lot. She messaged her cat friend Connie, who suggested taking her off the Fancy Feast food. There have been a lot of complains about cats/dogs getting sick from Purina food.

We stopped both the FF and the raw she'd been eating and bought other brands, like Wellness and Tiki Cat (non seafood flavors). It worked! It took a few days, but she started improving. We're relieved. Oddly, neither Ringo nor Lucy have reacted to the food. Our mom did file a report with both the FDA and Purina.
