Being a Trooper

Thompson had his annual visit to the vet. I thought about canceling because he gets so stressed out by the car ride. Sure enough as soon as I put him in the carrier he began howling and hissing at the top of his lungs. He continued to do this until the vet arrived in the examination room. Then he settled down some. He actually was a trooper on the way back home because we had to wait for the world's longest train to pass adding a good five to ten minutes to his car ride.

He continues to lose weight even though his appetite has been better the past month or so.

Over and Out and Out and Over

Just hanging out and over on the hammock.

Antenna Boy

Theo has learned if he leans a little and extends his ears as far as possible, the reception is a little bit better.

A Sudden Distraction

He's teasing me before he hops on my lap.

Let's Paws for a Moment

Whenever I ask Diego-san a question his go to answer seems to be, "I'll get back to you."

Cat Spill

There seems to be a little bit of spillage from the shared cat bed.

This Box is Theo Approved

Our resident box inspector is very good at inspecting every corner of the box.

Certain Fondness

You know... I'm pretty fond of this boy.

Inclusionary Behinds

Thompson is much more inclusive than Diego-san. Diego-san would never allow Theo's behind to touch his behind.

The Americans

I'm a big fan of the TV show, "The Americans," which is coming to an end. There are two episodes left and it doesn't appear there's going to be a good end for any of the major characters. I've been going back to the beginning of the series and watching old episodes over. Diego-san is keeping an eye out for Russian spies.

Tunnel Vision

Snug as a bug in a rug? Nah. Comfy as a cat in a tunnel.

Head to Toe

Sssstttttttrrrrrreeeeeettttttttccccccchhhhhh.

Rare Breed

Here is a photo of the rare white bellied cat napper.

Toupees

Not so much two peas in a pod but rather two cats on a couch.

Swimming in the Sun

Thompson is 100 percent sure swimming in the sun is better than swimming in water (even though I don't think he's ever tried the latter).

Combed

Theo doesn't like to be combed. Theo needed a combing because he's been hacking up hairballs on a regular basis the past week. Theo got combed. Theo apparently is now immobile and speechless after being combed.

Spies

Theo is spying on me unaware Diego-san is spying on him.

Leggy

Thompson is showing off his muscular gam.

Feline Figure

Theo's wondering if this picture makes his behind look fat.

Feline Friendly

Thompson's latest favorite place is on the cat blanket next to the cat pillow. It's pretty clear the food guy is fond of cats.

Award Winning if There Was Such an Award

Diego-san really has an impressive tail.

Sniffffff.....

Apparently my sweatpants smell like flowers to Theo.

Weekend's Over

Giving the skunk eye to Monday.

Strangers

I had the air conditioner maintenance guy over. Thompson who used to flee whenever a strange person (strange meaning someone he didn't know rather than unusual- meaning he never fled from me) came over is just too weak to do so anymore. Diego-san supervised the work being done to ensure the strange guy knew what he was doing (meaning both the maintenance guy and myself).

Rugs

Little Present

His tail wraps himself up in a little bow.

A Contest

Diego-san and Theo are having a competition to see which one can be the most comfortable. They'd like you to vote.

Award Winning

This photo was taken about 15 minutes after Diego-san did the most impressive projectile vomiting our house has ever seen. Lucky for me, I heard that unmistakable sound of a kitty about to urp up something and grabbed him to place him over a blanket that could be washed. There didn't seem to be any further aftereffects so hopefully it was just something that didn't sit right in his stomach.
