Lovin Life

Jasmine's week has consisted of a few wonderful things - naps with her humans, her "salad bar" (kitty grass), and a newfound love of canned food.

I just got back in town after seeing Mom for a few days, and Jasmine is very pleased about having me back! She took a nap in my suitcase as soon as I unpacked it. Then she took a nap with me.

Her appetite has been good because all three ladies are on a little diet. Feeding time for canned food is 5:30 p.m., and she is rarin to go, an unusual trait for her. She had previously said she only liked dry cat food. Also, she loves her kitty salad more than ever.

I was good at the vet this year

Jasmine finally had to go get vaccinations - her owner could put it off no longer! So Daddy packed up Jasmine and Maddie and they went to 15th St. Vet Group. Jasmine didn't try to bite the vet this time! She didn't even hiss. She was a very good girl but her leg was sore afterwards, as always. Maddie was totally oblivious, as usual. The vet says they both need their teeth cleaned. In fact, all five babies need it this year. Major investment, but will be worth it. Mommy couldn't come along to the vet because she was in Florida, but when she came back she was proud that her girls had been good.

Having a social month

Jasmine has been enjoying all the visitors we've had lately. Instead of hiding in a bedroom, she often comes right out to investigate. Last night, we had a large party and one of our guests picked her up, and she looked like she was in heaven.
She's also been more social than ever with her dogs, Dante and Sophy. Dante loves to sleep on the futon, especially when Daddy can be persuaded to cover him with a blanket. Well, this looked inviting to Jasmine, so she settled in right on top of the dog! He didn't seem to mind at all - see the picture on this page. Very amusing.
Jasmine is about 8 years old now and she's in her prime. All the cats are about that age, and the dogs are 6 and 5 years old. The household is settling down and everybody is becoming great friends.
