CAT SELFIES - WEEK NOV 17

I prefer to hide my eyes, they are still not completely healed !



I am sooo tired, can't open my eyes more !

here

Rosie and Arthur started their winter sleep. I only see them in different places, that's all I get to be amused. Finally it makes me sleepy too !



During the day Rosie makes an enormous effort to move from my bed to the armchair, then to the sofa and at the end the day on or besides my lap not even watching TV



Rosie has turned her head ! She must be exhausted by now.



Ol' Arthur is not better but he has an excuse he is old. He changes from one radiator to the other and sleeps on the warm tiles.



From time to time he gets up, visits his litter box, makes a mess and then collapses again in the same places. He still manages to jump on the sofa, but that's all. He still eats a lot and seems to be OK. Even his eyes are much better, now there is only a crust around, which is very difficult to remove, I have to do it step by step each day a bit ! But now he is not so reluctant anymore, maybe he has understood that I don't want to do hurt him.

That's cat life and I think it's contageous !

Do not disturb .....



She has cleaned my eyes, I don't like it but for the selfie it was necessary !

Arthur still continues to sleep in the same places, he is a brave cat now and goes in his litter box in the kitchen and the doggy pads help too, I put them close to the litter box so there are no accidents anymore !

His eyes are better, but not yet healed, and his appetite is unchanged. He sleeps most of the time and sometimes he goes out for a little walk. That's all I can do for him to make his life easy and happy.



Rosie too is in sleeping mode and chooses between sofa, chair and bed also always the same places. During the day now she doesn't go out, she goes out during the night. With the result that the neighbor's cat comes in and eats Arthur's left overs. It was an abandonned cat which my neighbor started to feed and let him sleep in her heated basement, she has also two cats, but apparently the food is better here so from time to time he stays in our basement. Can't chase him away ! I fake I don't see him ! Rosie doesn't agree with me, when she sees him she hisses and kicks him out !

And that's all they are doing for the moment !

CAT SELFIES ETC

I would say each week I start with the same sentence, "the weather was lousy" it rained the whole day long with short interruptions and therefore my cats are soo lazy, I think they sleep  more then 24 h !

I wished I could do the same, but, as a servant I have to get up, feed them, pet them, before they collapse again on a chair, the bed or another place !

So it was very difficult to do selfies with them.

Arthur's old bones refused to get up and as he is completely deaf now, he didn't even hear me and at least open an eye !



So this is his selfie, and I am sure he is quite happy with it, as you can't see his crusty eyes, he looks as if he had put up an eye liner. Although I clean it when he lets me, but in the morning he looks like a Halloween cat. Fortunately it seems that it gets better and better.

Rosie saw me coming and wasn't very happy either, she was very busy with grooming !



I just got this selfie when she interrupted her work !



and immediately continued

Before I could take another picture



She was fallen asleep on her freshly cleaned tail !



And this is my view the whole week long ! I could write "from Monday til Saturday" but sometimes Arthur moves besides the radiator because it is too hot, at least that's what I suppose.

I think he has put on some weight he looks a bit better, and I have to say he eats like a horse ! He should be a double sized cat with all the food and cat milk he gobbles down !

Sorry I have a dirty nose



My face looks so skinny, but I haven't lost weight

Each morning when I wake up I have this view !






I can't tell any funny story for the moment, as Rosie has fallen into a temporary (I hope so) winter sleep and only gets up for eating and her business !



Arthur is declining each day a bit more. He still manages to jump on the sofa and a bed, but not on the table anymore.

One eye has gotten worse and instead of only watering there is probably an infection. I have to go to the vet. His appetite is still very good he eats quite a lot, but becomes more and more bony and now he is also completely deaf.

What is very annoying is that he doesn't use his litter box anymore maybe because it is in the basement and he has to go down steps. I will put him one in the kitchen and see.



And here is how they spend the whole day !

CAT SELFIES ETC

Here is a reluctant Rosie, not so keen to make a selfie. It is not better with Arthur, they are both in a marathon sleep, due to rain and cold weather !



Not so bad



But no way to get out Arthur and to pose ! That's his last sleeping place ... behind the logs (fake)



Rosie prefers the heating



I have got this little wallet, looks like Arthur



Now he has two faces !



or he holds it between its paws !



Arthur doesn't know what to eat he also looks dirty, he doesn't groom himself very often. I should give him a bath, but he will kill me !

Has anybody an idea how to clean an old dirty very reluctant cat ? Especially around his eyes and nose !




 He loves this little fur rag close to the heating and warms up his old bones !

Some days he eats like a horse and some days he is very difficult, but he carries on his now very calm cat life.
