Crop of Cats

So the gardens are doing OK, but it’s really the crop of cuddly cats around here that’s requesting a bit of attention.

See how this one shows superior flat coverage: perhaps potential for a cover crop?


Hey, they even look good in bouquets!


This is a special variety, requiring custom food and fluids. Doesn’t require fertilizer, though: makes enough of that on his own (applied to awkward places, ahem).


We’ve even started “watering” him in a new way. Yep, we’ve crossed a line and started doing subcutaneous fluids for this old dude. He didn’t seem to mind them at first; we’re struggling a bit right now. I know it seems a bit over the top (needles, etc), but he still seems to be having a good time with life, and I’m not quite ready to let go.

At the risk of looking like a complete crazy cat lady (and just plain old looking silly), I offer this (sideways, sorry) video from last week. Does this look like a cat one should give up on just yet? Didn’t think so…(so there!). We’ll see how this journey goes.



Purrr!

They are soooo worth it...and your old dude is sooo lucky to have you.
May you have many more happy miles on the journey....
