My Cat won’t perform
He doesn’t do tricks
He’s not cute or cuddly
Won’t chase after sticks
But he is loving
Likes to purr
Sleeps most of the day
With nice soft fur.
New paintings and regular art updates.


My Cat won’t perform
He doesn’t do tricks
He’s not cute or cuddly
Won’t chase after sticks
But he is loving
Likes to purr
Sleeps most of the day
With nice soft fur.

He twirled around
Danced into a ball
Finding a snug corner
On the chair.
Spinning and twisting
Slipping into sleep
Nose under tail.
Comfy, warm, sweet.

He needs his meds
He has a heart problem and is on medication twice a day. He’s probably just asleep somewhere in the shade but it is 29°C here and I’m worried. I will go out in the garden and call him, but I need to be careful as I’m unsteady on my feet. Why does this have to happen now. He’s due back at the vets tomorrow for a checkup. My other boy cat has probably moved out. He only comes home every few days and turns his nose up at his food. My female cat is also out… Maybe they are off playing together!

There is an app I really enjoyed using, but I’ve found out the version I use is being updated and the textures part of it is closing. That means I won’t be able to do this anymore.
I’m really sad because it’s given me a few ideas for creating more abstract paintings. I’m hoping that it will be changed to a similar type of tool but I don’t know. It’s like changing oil paints to acrylic without any explanation. So I’m just waiting to see in some trepidation.

He comes in for 5 minutes
Sniffs his food
Ignores it
Comes and lies down in a loaf
Shaped like a bread
Then gets up
Stares at me
Walks off
Out the catflap.
I’m clearly below his status
I think he’s going to a new home
Someone must be feeding him
But I’ll still love him
Big beautiful boy.

She came up on the bed, but as soon as I lay down she was gone! Came back later to poddle (air biscuit?). I do love my cats, good company until they try and trip me up! Another quiet, quite lonely day. But I’m used to solitude now. I don’t know how I’d cope with anyone moving in.

Can’t do much, so a bit of cat watching. They always find the sunny spot! It seems much brighter to me now. Sweet cat x

No WordPress free images, not that sort!
I am due in surgery tomorrow so I was going to tidy up and remove trip hazards. But that was before one of my cats decided to be ill. I spent a lot of this morning trying to entice him into his pet carrier. In the end I had to scoop him into it. I didn’t know what was wrong with him but he was breathing fast. It wasn’t right so I took him to the vets.
It turns out he might have heart failure, so he’s now on tablets for the rest of his life. I don’t know what I’ll do if passes away, but at least I found out in time.
So anyway the operation is tomorrow.
I’ve done nothing to get organised, just been napping this afternoon. I will have to get up early tomorrow. But I feel relieved that my cat will be OK. How I will get the tablets in him while I am recuperating? I don’t know.

Excuse my slippers
He found a patch of sun earlier
Lay down and showed his belly
He rolled and twirled
Whirled and purred
Happier than last night
Breathing now just right.
I can’t believe
What 12 hours rest
Can change
Happier cat.

My Cat started breathing fast this evening. I’d taken him to the vets yesterday and he was fine. They gave him some meds but I don’t think this is anything to do with this. I think he might have a fur ball. He sounded a bit wheezy before his breathing changed. After about an hour things have settled down and he is sleeping.
I rang the vets office anyway and they said they would call me back. I dare not drive to the emergency vets because of my Parkinsons and cataracts. They are on the other side of the city and I don’t want to put him or me at risk. So I’ll stay up with him and take him down my local vets in the morning.
It’s frightening when you live on your own and things go wrong. If I can’t rely on myself I’m in trouble. Age and the aging process is a pain.
