It’s funny how cats get inside your heart. I’ve found Luna sweet and charming and funny ever since I took her in last September, but it was when I found her so prettily asleep like this on my bed the other day that I realised how much I’ve come to love her. She’s still very kittenish and still a tiny thing (especially next to Loki) but she is a force to be reckoned with, and a rather endearing one at that. My little bandit-masked ninja kitten…

Just like her big brother Loki…

those eyes! those ears!
It’s Luna’s first birthday! Well, nobody really knows for sure, but this is the day I’ve decided to celebrate her birthday. When I first took Luna to the vet last September I was sure she was only about 6-8 weeks old because she was so tiny, but Yolanda said she was actually between 3-4 months old (!!!), which meant she would have been born in June. And so I’ve chosen the 7th because that’s Azar’s birthdate – and mine – just as I chose December 7th for Loki (the vet had guessed December 8th, so what’s one day for continuity’s sake?)
Those top pics were taken the first day I brought her home, when she was still being kept in quarantine. The photo below was taken at the beginning of this week while she was enjoying a morning sunbeam out on the balcony. She’s still quite small and still very pretty.
Happy birthday Luna!

… and call me in the morning.
What a crazy 48 hours it’s been. On Saturday evening I was suddenly not feeling well so I decided to go to bed early. A couple of hours later I woke up feeling awful and spent the next eight hours with violent vomiting and diarrhea and worried that I was going to end up back at hospital having more Surprise Surgery. But as there wasn’t any serious pain involved I just rode it out. Felt somewhat better yesterday morning but obviously couldn’t go out for my Sunday afternoon tapas tour, so Peter took that one (and they wrote back later saying they’d had a great time!). I stayed in bed ALL DAY, which is something I don’t remember doing other than when I was on chemo. Although the vomiting, etc had stopped (guess it sort of had to eventually) I was feeling very weak, feverish and achy. Have to say that Azar has been totally loving all this Extra Bed Time with me. And I finally got to use the bedroom tv that I installed last November. I knew it would come in handy some day.
Today has been a bit better. I actually got up for a few hours, but don’t feel well enough to venture outside. Which is a shame because it’s a gorgeous day out there. But I should be back to normal(ish) by tomorrow and am thinking that this might be a good time to start a diet…
How are you guys doing?
