As all of you do, we celebrate cats EVERY DAY but today is a day to celebrate not only our cats that live with us, but cats ALL OVER THE WORLD! It is a day to spread the word about just how pawesome life with cats is!
"Effective since August 3, 2020, the leading cat welfare charity, International Cat Care, became the custodians of International Cat Day. Since 1958, they’ve challenged cruelty, ignorance, and misunderstanding to affect positive change in the lives of cats. With an estimated global population of 600 million cats, half of which are thought to be unowned, their work has never been more important. To learn more about the charity, visit their website."
To all of you who have visited us for oh so many years and to those we recently have met, we think you are PAWESOME and we appreciate and celebrate each and every one of you!
AN UPDATE ON ROARY!
I thought it would be fitting to include an update on Roary and how he has been doing since his bladder stone surgery that took place at the end of May.
He is peeing like a champ and is doing SUPER WELL! (Paws crossed that this continues to be the case!)
He had bloodwork done last week (because his bloodwork at the time of his surgery wasn't that great, the Vet felt it was due to the stones and it turns out it was!) Roary's bloodwork, kidney function, etc. was NORMAL and they also ran a urine test that was NORMAL!! YAY!!
One of the most wonderful outcomes of Roary's surgery is that he and I have FINALLY BONDED!
(It only took THREE YEARS lol!)
I think Roary knew and appreciated that I barely left his side after his surgery......I waited on him hand and paw and we started a new ritual that I think helped us to bond. I started brushing him with the Furminator that used to be Cody's and he LOVES IT! I brushed him when he was wearing the cone to bring him comfort and now it is a daily ritual.
He FINALLY sits with me on the couch, either on my lap or next to me (as you can see in the photo above where he is lying by me wearing my Lions pants.)
If it took the surgery to FINALLY have us finally develop a close bond, then I couldn't be happier!
happy cat day to your bestest roary and to all kitties... what a sweet ritual, soulmates for ever and ever..

MOL! Actually yes, Levi is EXTREMELY jealous, especially at night when he is in his crate and he sees Roary sitting on the couch with me. It's all good, his Dad has been showering him with attention all summer since he's off of school until Aug 28th :)
