HOLLY’S CAT LETTER

EPISODE 51–04/29/2024

🐱 Hi to all my admirers. I trust you all had a safe and relaxing weekend. I wasn’t planning on writing today but since it’s been a few days I thought I should in case anyone was wondering about my welfare. 

🐱 I am sorry to report that the weekend was disgustingly vile since I wasn’t my usual charming self and Ma was still down and out. And today is cloudy again—some sunbeams to bask in would definitely be welcomed but none is in the forecast for today. Hopefully tomorrow! The daytime temperatures have been warm but it’s still cool enough in the evenings for Ma to wear her fluffy warm socks. Maybe Pa will get a nice fire going tonight. That would feel wonderful on my bones and on Ma’s!

🐱 I'm not going to lie—l have not felt the greatest the past week or so because of this wretched UTI. Actually I’ve been downright cranky. Plus Ma is still poking that vile pill down my throat every morning. I have no appetite at all and eat just enough to sustain me. Ma is concerned I’ll start losing some of that weight I’ve gained. I’ve been spending the better part of my days resting on Ma’s lap. Whenever she gets up I throw a hissy fit. At least Ma has been giving me some space and not snapping photos of me every time I turn around. It’s exhausting sometimes having that camera pointed at my face! I need my privacy when I feel like poo! And I’m sad since I’m unable to do my duty and support Ma when I feel like that. 

🐱 Ma is going to abandon me later since she has another follow-up orthopedist appointment. She’s going to ask him if he’d give her a cortisone injection in her thumb joint. I know what cortisone is since my vile vet gave me some last week along with the penicillin. Cortisone has unwanted side effects so it might make her even more out of sorts. Maybe I can find somewhere to hide if that happens? 

🐱 I hope you all have a swell evening. Maybe treat yourself to a bowl of yummy pistachio ice cream? I’m going to continue to rest and hopefully this vile medicine will continue to kick in. More about me later…love, Holly
