Arrival Story:
Skylar and his sister, Lydia, both were adopted by me in 2005 when their first family moved to Florida and couldn't take them with. Many thanks to Lisa Rich, her husband, and daughter Kayla for letting me adopt them!

Bio:
My sis and I found a new home in October 2005. The family we'd been part of for all our lives was moving to Florida, and couldn't take us with them. Our skin sister, Kayla, was friends with the lady who became our new mom (Karen), and Lisa (our first mom) asked Karen if she would adopt us. She said yes, of course, and we moved in with her and her boyfriend (our new dad, Scott). We have two "siblings": Tabby and Carbon. Lydia and I both love our new home, and are glad that Lisa and Kayla asked Karen to adopt us. I was friends with Karen for a year before we moved, but Sis had a little trouble adjusting. I love to play chase with the babies (Tabby and Carbon)!

OMC, we won!

Our family won the overnight stay for one cat at the Pet Smart Hotel! The one that's the prize from Skeezix's/Catster's/The Cat's Meow contest for the travel series!

Now, to decide who gets to use it. What, Mom, you say we might all get a vacation stay? But there's only one free one. *looks confused* Oh, you'd pay for the rest of us? You have to talk with Dad first? Ok!

Mom says she and Dad might go to the beach overnight sometime and have us stay at the pet hotel.


Preparing for the inevitable :(

Mom and Dad have been watching me really closely since I begged Dad to adopt Starla. From what they've seen, they think I'm preparing the household for my death. They saw this with Lydia when she passed, too.

1. I told Dad to adopt Starla.
2. I've taken myself out of the daily household activities and am spending my days snuggling with Dad or on the bed sleeping.
3. I am not vocal at all, even in situations when I would shout (think Siamese!), but now I don't even make any sound.
4. I am teaching Starla how to snuggle and observing her interactions with Mom and Dad, so basically teaching her to fulfill my role in the household.
5. All the other cats come check up on me throughout the day, and Rori monitors my every move, even walking with me wherever I go.
6. My body processes are slowing down. I'm not taking in much of what I'm eating, and my poops are kitten-sized. I'm rapidly losing weight. I fall over sometimes when I walk. Some days, I can't jump up to the couch and wait until Dad or Mom picks me up to set me on the couch.

Mom and Dad think I have 2-3 months left. All tests come back normal; we think it's "just" old age and the pain of not having my sister around.


Medicated at last!

Mommy just came back with the CORRECT medication! Someone new at the vet's office had put the other stuff in the wrong cupboard. All taken care of now, and I have my meds. :)
