Jane's hematology report was ace, except for two things: blood pressure and weight gain. So she's supposed to walk. I volunteered to join her---I've got muscle pain like you wouldn't believe, with a lot of the symptom-pattern of fibromyalgia. This is not good. They do...

I might say, for those of you wondering about size comparisons---Seishi's breed is like a draft horse, short-legged by comparison to the thoroughbred, and with plate-sized feet/paws...and Eushu has very long legs, almost more legs than kitten at one stage. So it's Mr....

...Eushu and Seishi, last night, playing chase. Seishi is not a big cat, but when he stretches out, he's got length. I've worried about Sei: Shu just won't let him alone: it's constant wrestling and chasing, and I mean dawn past dusk, interrupted by an afternoon nap....

I think we've got the eye condition handled, and we're down to the basic fact that she's 80 0r 90 kitteh years old, and had first the loss of her companion [she came down with a respiratory infection], and then the introduction of a very rowdy kitteh who mistook her...

Seishi has the patience of a kitteh saint.

At least it doesn't involve Ysabel. But this kitten is almost too much for Seishi, who finally gets enough and goes for a bolt hole where he can slap Eushu's nose. Seishi's claws are clipped very short. Eushu's, not so much. I'll tell you, I am not keen on somebody...

Ysabel's been through a very hard bit, not least of which, as I began to suspect, was being allergic to the eye meds. We went out looking for Ocuvisc, couldn't find it, and came away with a fairly decent substitute, GenTeal Gel Eye Drops. They're soothing, a bit...

He's smaller than he looks, and curls into a ball when you pick him up---very shy, very gentle: he's a year old, been brought up in a cattery, and has never had a person of his own, hence the shyness. He's used to other cats: hasn't hissed or scratched or tried to...

It's under construction and will be for years, but it's already camera ready. It's done in cooperation with a sister city, and will be a huge place with a lake and some really spectacular architecture: if you can't afford to go to China, you can take some pretty...
