What a cwappy day. It’s pouring…..apparently the end of some hurricane decided to come all this way inland and grace us with its rain. The wind is ahowlin’ and the leaves are blowing everywhere. I’m not impressed! 
Furthermore it looks like my friends Penelope and her bro Pippin’ have had a horrible accident in the basement and may not be up to playing with us this year. I won’t go into detail but its not a pretty sight apparently. Mom won’t tell me anymore than that. 
Remember these cheery faces. My friends Penelope and Pippin’.
We had such fun together. Well what’s a kitty to do!
Kali had to go to the vet’s today too. She didn’t want to go and told mom why but mom had her ears turned off. Before I knew it they were back again. I guess I must’ve fallen asleep. 
Kali was very happy to get out of the carrier and disappeared before I completely woke up. Kali has arthritis with some wasting around her hips. The pain giver recommended fish oil and if there is no difference a capsule for arthritis will be appropriate. Mom said it was remarkable but Kali who usually sheds all fur hanging about, so it looks like a fog has descended upon the room, didn’t shed 1 hair. 
One great thing that happened today was mom got her Cat Lady box and we both helped her look inside. 
We exhausted ourselves with the box and are ready for a snooze.
Kali is delighted its Artsy, Fartsy Caturday on Athena and Marie’s blog tomorrow and she gets to pose. Simply click on the name of the hosting blog and enjoy the anipals in their artsy forms.
Have a great weekend my friends and if you get a chance drop into Cat Scouts on Saturday as I will be celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving. I will probably celebrate off and on for the whole long weekend. 
The Canadian Cats 
Great report! I’m sorry you’re friends met with a terrible fate and I’m sorry Kali had to go to the stabby place. Coconut oil is supposed to be good for arthur-itis and so is accupuncture for cats. Love your artsy-fartsy pic.

We’ll keep the coconut oil in mind as Kali’s tummy may not be able to tolerate the fish oil. Poor Penelope and Pippin….maybe some relatives will stop by.

Thanks for the wishes Sammy. Your arthritis is manageable without anything then. Gee, that is fabulous. Fish oil is an inflammatory apparently. It will depend on Kali and her tummy if she can tolerate it. Time will tell.

I love the fish oil but Shoko won’t eat it. The vet advised me to take it easy on the protein powder because it is hard on the kidneys. So we will slow down the protein powder. My stools slip out before I get to the kit lit….actually just outside the kit lit. Close but no cigar! MOL

Well weez weally glad yous like da fish oil. But da protein powder isn’t like most protein powders. It’s not hawrd on da kidneys cuz it’s pre digested so da kidneys don’t have to bweak it down. It was cweated wiff kidney diseased cats in mind. Purrhaps ifin yous took da info. sheet to yous vet dat tells ’bout it she/he wuld unnerstand it better.

Buddy!! I’m so very happy to hear from you my man. I have had a hard time. The rain here has been awful and my hip hurt so much but the rain is gone now and the sun is peeking out. I feel more like walking around and playing some….you know me, I’m not big on toys. I’m more of a cuddler. MOL…I can’t help but meow at your trips to the vet. I am very placid too and then when I’ve had enough, I don’t show it, I just bite. Mom knows this and stands vigil over me. Mom is going to look for a cat bed that has heat in it for me or just find the electric heating pad for me. I love heat!
So awesome to hear from you Buddy.
