September 2013 and my pal enjoying a holiday in the south of France 🥰



Happy to confirm that he is still fighting on without any apparent suffering, some days he is happy to enjoy a short walk whilst others he will not leave the garden. My lawn if you can call it that will shortly be covered in brown patches but I am actually quite happy to see him wandering around having a pee wherever he wants, long may that continue.

I had a cat that did that as well. He would open the cabinet and tear open boxes/bags. He was very good at it. Hairy is limited as she was declawed. Not by me, when I rescued her she was minus front claws. I think it’s a horrible thing to do to a cat when I feel her paws you see it’s not just nails that are missing but a lot of bone supporting the paw. I think I read in a human it would be comparative to removing up to the knuckle. In big cats it can form pain later in life as the paw lacks proper support to keep the animal upright. I noticed my cats who have been good “treat stealers” use their nails to assist them in opening doors and cabinets. I’m sure if hairy was intact she would get those things herself. As a matter of fact if she had thumbs and could open the cat food can on her own she would probably have little use for me.

It is not a nice thing to do to declaw! Poor little one!

Annual tribute to a very, very special lad, never forgotten. 🥰 Good times.
A cutie !

Reaching the end of ski season. Wednesday evening we took Zelda, Opus, and Max out on the Nordic trails near our home. I also got a good photo yesterday of Max with Mrs. S skiing.

Zelda sleeps more these days, but when it's time to go ... she GOES!

With the sun out this week Old Boy got a bit of a kitten spring in his step - But I guess we all reach an age when we need bigger print / he likes a large target to chase. Afterwards he was knackered and in full cuddle mode :0)

2nd Flatiron? Were you up there during the fire, or are those previously taken photos?

It was a day before the fire at NCAR/Table Mesa area, Saturday I think, and those fires broke out Sunday I believe

The fire started Saturday at about 2PM, IIRC. So maybe you were up there on Friday. Unfortunately, I suspect it might be closed off for quite a while now.

Looks from the photo like that cat was actually wearing another one! 😲
