Fearless Gets Best Treatment Now

Sammi is the red Norwegian Forest cat in the photo. Fearless is the cat who looks like a Chartreuse. Sammi has Fearless's sitty place, a milk crate and afghan by the stove. 

Fearless is beginning to show pain from something in her side - possibly her possible cancer. I made Sammi get on the couch. He's been getting all the special treatment because he has diabetes. We have to pay more attention to Fearless, now.

LATEST (March 13, 2016): 

Fearless couldn't get to the vet because of storms. 

BUT - it turns out her pain came from - who knows? - falling off a bed or something. She's much better, now. Dingbat.

Because of all the liquid in her lungs in her x-rays earlier in 2016, and some masses, there may be heart complications. Electrocardiogram for her, or tentatively, at least. We have to think about that - the trip to Seattle?

I dunno. Old cats. What do you do with them? Other than schoozle. 'em.

Sammi is our Darlin'

Our Sammi - 18 years old - has diabetes. It's been rough and up and down, but he's hanging in there.

Today he claimed the catfood-closet door by face-rubbing, and smacked Kiki (the calico fluffernutter) in the butt.

So, good hopes.

He has no blood, so it's hard to measure glucose levels, but we're trying. I just have to remember to rub his toes really well before taking blood for testing.

He's possibly a Norwegian Forest cat, so we think the name is after the Indigenous people of Scandinavia, otherwise known as Laplanders. He was captured feral as a young cat, and is finally getting over his fear of blankets.
