Beautiful cats...
I too had 3 - 2 to keep each other company and 1 that the cat mom dumped in my garage as a kitten.
Thank you!
Sounds like we encountered the same situation only some human dropped Jewel in the field by our house. A lady in the development near me called (because I left adds around about Jewel) that she found a cat that was strikingly similar. So I think some human dumped both cats. Funny thing is Jewel has been the most low maintenance out of all the cats. She has been expense free except for food and shots.
My Shiny would do something like that- he used to sleep on top of the garage door in the up position and once the van was pulled out the door was going down and he had nowhere to jump. He got his leg caught in the top of the door.
OMG! I have a worse garage door story than that but I decided not to share it. I am so glad Shiny only ended up with his leg stuck and not something much worse.
Worst was when the neighbor and I were talking and they mentioned that once he was in her garage and got his head caught in their garage door.
OMG - that's even worse.
Talk about a cat with 9 lives. He is one lucky kitty!
That's my Shiny. Follows you around sits right behind you to guard you, used to walk Jennifer to the busstop and stay with her until he bus came.
He is 16 1/2 and well his age is showing. Can be very slow and now meows a lot, don't think he hears well.
Poor baby. He sounds like such a great cat. It's really amazing when they act like that. Max used to love to go outside and he would follow me from one spot in the yard to another. He always greets me if he is outside when I come home. He's just so loyal. My other cats could care less.
Glad it was diagnosed. Shiny got really skinny but a change in food from dry to moist and really pushing him to eat ( I think he forgets what he is doing ) has put weight back on.
I am glad I finally took him to get diagnosed because for months I had known that something was off. I really was neglectful. I feel bad.
Thanks. I'm sure I'll talk about it soon enough, but sometimes its best to leave certain topics off social media until they are resolved.
I actually did that to a lady by the Slushie booth in France. She was wanting a sample and the french CM would not do it. So she was asking what the orange flavor was like - Oranges or Tang like? After trying to describe it somewhat when I was handed the drink I just asked if she wanted a taste and used a straw to scoop some up so she could sample it. Perfect stranger. Yup I did that!!!
Tang? Yuck! No wonder you had to offer her a sip. I would have offered, too.
I have it I have it. I may have used it this morning.
Right on DIS sister!
Sounds like a great afternoon/early evening.
A few of the reason I have grown to love Food and Wine. I seem to see many "adults" ( in age only ) really kicking back and enjoying the time, the scenery and being slightly tipsy and laughing probably like they have not done in a while. It's like a giant block party.
Exactly. It has such a great feel to it. You forget that you are technically in a big theme park. Instead you are just in this wonderful place with tons of nooks and crannies and places to explore. And everyone is happy.

Okay, I am so glad I'm planning on F&W in a few years. I'm going to need my own barge to get out of there! FYI, yes, you can take wine home in these bags (

Pesky! Thanks for joining in! And thanks for the information about the wine bags. I did have a cardboard wine carrier with me (that I got at the Williamsburg winery) and everything in there was bubble wrapped like crazy. It would be nice to have something a little bit more compact. I'll definitely have to consider that for my next fly trip! Great info and probably worth the money because cardboard wine carriers don't last that long.
(and sidenote: oddly enough, I had a cat named Max who adopted me, a very sweet love and very doglike too. Went into denial for a bit and then had to get persistent - thyroid problem and kidney issues. Funny how you never want to believe your babies are sick. He lived a few years more with those issues precariously balanced. So glad you caught Max's illness when you did!)
Ahhhh - another Max! How cool! Sounds like our Maxes have that gentle disposition in common. I know the kidney issues are life threatening and fortunately my Max's kidneys and thyroid were fine. The vet is optimistic that this is a very manageable illness so we shall see. But, honestly, I waited a month or two too long before I brought him in. I knew something was amiss, so I feel bad about that.
Oh your poor kitties! I hope all the treatments work for both.
Thanks. Kismet is already doing so much better. Max has definitely improved over the last few days so hopefully he will remain stable. Fingers crossed.
That was so very kind of the complete stranger to offer you the first sip of his berry beer... not sure what I would do but you handled it well - yep, took a swig!!
Was there any other choice?
That's so funny how you described sitting and zoning out... sometimes people watching is so obsessive. We saw a couple walking from the bus stop at AK into the park and I told Em, that lady has absolutely perfect legs and had four kids in tow and was probably a little younger than me but still... ack! Ok, so all that to say, I completely understand the moments that suck you in!
I was so zoned out right then. Plus, I have to say I was really fascinated by how good that couple looked. I sometimes I have this moments when I see people and think - that's how I want to look when I am that age. I'm not quite sure if I have held up to my expectations.
But it is nice to see people who really have taken care of themselves and its obvious.
Yay for lovely weather at HHI. And so sweet that your DS will be watching the cats.
I really can't wait. It's such a cool place. I won't actually believe we are going until we are there tomorrow evening.
