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…

… 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?

Those two young whippersnappers Loki & Luna have been getting all territorial about the morning sunbeam space in my room and have taken to bullying Azar off the bed. The solution has been to open the living room curtains especially for my darling boy and give him his own personal sunbeam. Win-win! I get to hang out with Azar while I get my work done and he ends up getting extra snibbles. 🙂

Here’s a photo of the Love of My Life (aka Azar) basking in the sun this morning, on his 17th birthday. On the right is a pic I took yesterday that shows Azar still enjoys being a “daredevil cat“, despite being a gentleman of a certain age. In fact, most days he is still quite kittenish and loves to play and be chased around and snibbled. Though you can see that he’s a bit thin and frail now. The supplements he is taking seem to be helping him stay hydrated enough maintain his daily body functions, and of course he is cuddled and coaxed to drink plenty of water (his own game). But he’s developed a worrying lump on one of his shoulders, which may be nothing, but will require a visit to Yolanda the vet next week.
Today, however, it will be fresh asparagus! Am off to the market now to get some. And for those of you who don’t know it yet, here is…
