siriosa 2000

my little brother called on saturday.
he wanted to know how my cats were doing. i was helping out my 92-yr-old friend, so i couldn't talk, but i promised i'd post some new pictures for him.

how they're doing: really, quite well. they pounce on each other and chase each other and have wrestling matches. with three, you get tag-team action. in the 15 months since i brought virginia and vita home, i think i've laughed more than in the ten years previous. (yes, they were an especially grim ten years, but still.)

weetzie's now bigger than any of the adults, at 8 or 9 months old. he's still kitten-shaped, and has a kitten's wonky lack of coordination. he's been throwing up some, sometimes spectacularly, and we've been trying to adjust his diet. he and spot like chicken liver very much, so i make sure they get some every other day or so. (virginia and elizabeth don't care for it, for some reason.) we just tried wet food, but he wasn't charmed. fortunately, b.h.e. bought several flavors.

one set of ejecta contained some tinsel from a garland. i'm grateful it didn't stay down, and sad that i'll have to put the lavender and purple garlands away. they've been up for years.
