3rd cat in a box

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

I think we are going through this again

Hank. I give him a monthly needle for arthritis. I give him oral heart med in liquid form twice a day. Two insulin needles a day. And since we are still trying to figure out the dosage his blood is tested three times a day, with the odd glucose curve (7 times).

We are down to just Hank now. A senior, he has had a lot of medical issues. All of his teeth are gone in two dental procedures he did not like. And there are ongoing daily procedures. Luckily for us all he is the gentlest, most docile cat. Very cute. Well, he’s orange, so of course.

Yesterday was the darkest day in my life. RIP Tess. The sweetest little soul I have ever known.

Merry Christmas from Tess

Hank after having his teeth out, without pain, is being more social more playful.
