It's Hard

My energy has been taken up by all the ups and downs with

Annabelle and her problems with her teeth, that even 

though I could see there was something wrong with Mazie.

I just didn't have the bandwidth to deal with it.

Don't even let me mention how bad it made me feel.

***

Yesterday late in the day she showed up again.

Finally things have lighten a bit with Annabelle,

and I was hit with panic with Mazie.

***

Not even sure I could get her seen but I did.

Wondering how the bills will get paid and

really not knowing or being able to do much beyond

what I did yesterday with her.

***

At least in part the culprit is an ulcer on the back

of her throat which explains why she has been unable to eat.

She has lost quite a bit of weight.

She is not going to let me give her any more meds.

She probably isn't going to even let me see her.

***

The Vet said it would be best to keep her inside.

So I do have a workshop

and I put her in there and haven't seen her since.

The food is left unattended.

It's soft mushy lickable foods.

I got a grocery store of stuff trying anything on 

Annabelle.

*sigh*

I'm worn out and broke.

I've done all I can.

I have to give myself some space.

I admit there are too many cats here for me to

care for and I don't know what to do about that.

***

I just do the best I can.

And sometimes it breaks your heart.

 

Sunday Fountain

Mazie found the (dry) fountain a good spot for a nap.

 

Mazie

She is such a sweet girl.

And boy does she always have a lot to say!

 

Reunion

Mazie Daisy

Just look at those whiskers.

She is a little talker too!

Guess who came to dinner?

Mona!

Guess who wasn't thrilled?

Mazie.

Biological sisters and yet the months

since Mona has been around Mazie

didn't recognize her.

***

I was glad to see Mona looking so good.

Someone is taking care of her.

But she sure remembers my voice, and me.

She came right to me.

So they are all still around.

I found it's either very early in the morning

or dusk that I see Mickey, Mona or Millie.

(Millie comes to dinner quite regularly)

She was always the most fearful of people.

 

Playing With the Cats

Momma Mina in the hydragenas.

I've been doing a lot of outdoor work

since being home because of the pandemic,

so I spend a lot of time with the outdoor kitties.
Or should I say they spend a lot of
time with me?

Millie is lying in the grass,

and this is Mina and Mazie closer to the camera.

Mona is sitting on the border wall

of the flower bed.

They all love zooming around the yard.
