Meowloween Halloween Caturday

Happy Meowloween Halloween! I hope this finds you and your kitties safely enjoying the fun and treats. What a festive, fun but wild week. Thank-you and welcome to our new subscribers!

In case you missed our big news, scroll down for the highlights.

The week began with some hocus pocus at Mondays With Merlin our resident wizard. He is the poster boy for crying wolf. Every time he’s at death’s door, he rallies, forcing us to eat some crow. We couldn’t wait for our scheduled mobile vet visit in November I whisked him a feline specialist on Monday morning. Two kinds of antibiotics later, he’s bounced back a hair but his days of pulling rabbits out of his hat are over. The test results were a mixed bag. Some good, some bad and as always it’s tricky finding the balance of treatment with determining quality of life.

Merlin is loving his new prescription food and does not need any appetite stimulant. His gait is more tottery than ever but he is mobile and enjoying limited garden time (his fave). In lieu of the hot sun, we’ve set up a heater with a soft pillow for his fragile old bones in a sunny bathroom which is a hit. So for now, he’s having more good days than bad days. Our vet feels he has a little more quality time left but hey, he’s already used up more than nine lives so it’s all good. Thank-you for all your kind comments and messages.
