And yet, Petri has somehow melted himself into a new napping spot:

Vibrating chair or purring chair? Either way, both of their motors were running.

the only thing you're missing is how much he's purring.

Home again

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 16:58:36 -0700

After some excitement at being home, we've got the little guy settled down.

In two weeks the stitches come out (it must be the ultimate tease being a cat and having string sewn into your leg. I suppose yarn would have been worse) and we're supposed to "keep him quiet" for the next four weeks.

Good thing I like napping these days.

Lightning strikes twice...

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:31:00 -0700

Remember when Petri broke his hip? Yeah, well that happened again to his other side.

Long story short: about two weeks ago he jumped and landed wrong, limping around for 3 days and the vet couldn't get us in until today since we hadn't been in for a year. In that time he seemed to improve with limping limited to when he was running around--I was still concerned enough to keep the appointment. The vet thinks it happened earlier and this last episode just crunched it more...congenitally weak hips, she says.

So same surgery coming up this Thursday. Sigh...poor guy.

Overly attached?

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:05:00 -0700

To be sure, Petri has always been an affectionate guy and even more so since I found out I'm pregnant (I love the idea that his purr is one of the first and constant things that the kid will hear in utero). But dude has gotten out of control since we left last week for a short stay in Mexico. Snuggling and petting sessions now involve him grabbing and hugging my arm or leg into him.

It's very sweet even if it keeps me from sleeping, and I've indulged him since we've been thinking lots about his kitty cousin, Buddie G, who passed away a couple of days ago.

We miss you, Buddie!
