11.29.11 : arrrrrrgh!

11.28.11 : turkey fiend, continued

We've created a monster. Since Thanksgiving, the only thing Kaesea has been interested in eating is... turkey!


Seriously. He's been meowing by the refrigerator: "I demand turkey. Now."

And when we put it out for him, it disappears. In seconds.

Okay... I know every cat owner in the world says this, but... I think my cat is the Cutest. Cat. Ever.

That is all.

11.24.11 : turkey fiend

Amazingly, we have made it through one more year with this to be thankful for: Kaesea.

One of our Thanksgiving traditions is to recall that long-ago Thanksgiving when Jenny asked me if Kaesea liked turkey. Every year on this day, I repeat what I said then: "Kaesea is a cat and turkey is a bird."

In other words: Yes, Kaesea likes turkey.
In fact, he loves it.

11.20.11 : hungry, hungry kitten

Terrible photo quality here, but Kaesea was moving too fast for me to capture him -- Bill put some shrimp in his hand and Kaesea went nuts for it, climbing up into his hand and lapping up every last morsel. (Note the right paw is up on Bill's wrist... the left paw ended up planted in Bill's palm for leverage.)


It was hilarious, although, again, this photo doesn't quite capture the pure mania. The cat likes shrimp.

11.15.11 : i love my brush

Tonight, Kaesea fell asleep on the couch, cuddling with his brush:


Besides me, that brush is his favorite thing in the world.

Sometimes, I think he even loves the brush more than he loves me. ;)

My apologies for the cliffhanger

I'm kind of reluctant to write about good things happening at Chez Kaesea because, without fail, as soon as I say, "Things are going better," Kaesea takes a nose-dive.

Conversely, it takes me awhile to write about bad things, too... cause I just don't want to admit when things are bad.

But it's been 2 weeks since I wrote the last update and things are... well... somewhat better (she says cautiously) (don't tell Kaesea I wrote this...)

After taking the antibiotics, Kaesea's poops have been far more firm, so perhaps he was doing the "edge case" thing after all -- it wasn't the cancer, but it was some sort of infection? Maybe? But then I was away this past weekend and there were a lot of "less than solid" poops in my absence (per Bill's report -- such a devoted husband and father). So I guess our dear old man doesn't like change. Soo-prise, soo-prise!

So, we're better than we were with the last update -- more eating and more solid pooping. His weight remains the same -- disturbingly low -- but his energy has been pretty good.

I'm now calling Kaesea the Holy Grail Cat, because he says "I'm not dead yet!"
