Our recent arrival hasn't been a housecat very long, so he's still working out how lap-catting works.

New boy is home and is decompressing and doing some limited exploring. Resident girl is big mad at me for fussing over a strange cat in her house, but I hope they'll be friends eventually.

Indeed, cat adoption is much like online dating, but sometimes a match makes their case in no uncertain terms. Pending a vet check before he comes home, but here's his profile pic.

I lost both these boys in the space of a week and a half. I miss them so much. Theo, the tabby, was almost 18 and probably had lymphoma. Siegfried, the lynx point, was only 12. He had a fast growing stomach tumor.

This afternoon Theo will be leaving us to join eternity. He was an indoor/outdoor cat before he joined our family almost 15 years ago and today he had a last request. Sure thing buddy, you can touch grass again.

Theo is in swift decline and tomorrow we'll see him on his way to eternity. We allowed him a little time on the deck this afternoon for a breath of false spring.

My old boy Theo isn't doing well. At almost 18 we are at the limit of what can be done. Whether for a year or a week, it's all end of life care. We just lost his younger sibling to cancer last week.

Siegfried is getting weaker and more uncomfortable by the day, but he's still eating. I don't think he wants to leave us yet, but it's so hard to make that decision.

A love story for Valentine's Day: In 2018 I went to the shelter for my volunteer shift and said, "No hurry, but we need a cat lively enough to play with the young cat and smart enough to leave the old cat in peace." When I saw Athena, I thought, "She'd be so easy." She was the cat we needed.

Athena is also a Valentine's Day cat!

Siegfried wasn't expected to live this long, but here he is. Weaker, but with an appetite and a desire for connection. Truly, one of the sweetest cats on the planet.

The year begins with this guy acting so determinedly normal that I could almost hope that the ultrasound that showed a huge tumor in his stomach was just a dreadful mistake.

Not the merriest Christmas. Today our fears were confirmed, and we learned that this sweet cat, who only last month lost a leg to sarcoma, now has a large (likely unrelated)tumor in his stomach and will be leaving us soon.

I always think of Pogo on Friday the 13th. Walt Kelly had an interesting effect on the development of my vocabulary.

Authorized nudity! Siegfried's sutures came out today, so as long as he doesn't over groom he doesn't need to wear a jersey, even if they are cute on him. (Post amputation for fibrosarcoma.)

Siegfried the hero! He lost a front leg to sarcoma a couple weeks ago and my lap is his favorite place to be right now.

Siegfried prefers jerseys. Well, he prefers them to the cone. He lost a leg to sarcoma a couple weeks ago and they keep him from biting his stitches. The other cat is his elder brother Theo.
