Loving Life

When Kenta joined our household, up until the past couple of weeks, he snarfed down his meals faster than any cat who has lived here. (If meals were late, Theo used to gulp down his food and usually would urp it up a short time later…) Kenta eats as if he’s afraid the food will disappear before he’s finished… He eats so fast that the routine has been picking him up when his dish is empty and carrying him upstairs so he won’t try and eat Alias and Norma’s meals. We sit on the couch for a few minutes and then I let him go with the encouragement, “Go get them Kenta!!!”

But the last few weeks he not only has slowed down, but he now stops eating and rubs up against my legs. When I reach down to pet him, he plops over and I rub his belly as he purrs away. I think it’s his way of thanking me for regular meals. 

I’m trying to enjoy life as much as Kenta does.
