Friday catblogging
Today was a banner day in Gracie’s return to health: We had an official morning bellyrub, complete with deep, throaty purr and the kneading of paws in ecstasy.

Of course, she wasn’t where you see her in the picture. She was in my bed, waiting for me to get out of the shower.
Later this morning, after breakfast, I made the mistake of putting my shoes on before brushing my teeth. Gracie thought I was going to take her to the vet’s and disappeared under the bed, so no second bellyrub. Ah, well. She’ll get used to my wearing shoes upstairs again sometime.
But we had a happy, happy morning. She’s getting back to normal, and I’m pretty sure she’s also putting on weight. I need to get a scale one of these days.

Nothing like a morning bellyrub, unless its an afternoon, evening, or late night bellyrub. Darn cats have all the luck! Glad to hear she’s getting better.

Oh great. First Britney Spears and now Gracie. At times like this, I worry about the future of our Republic.
(Seriously, it’s good to read that Gracie’s feeling fit as a feline again.)

She looks like a happy kitty! Wonderful to see her enjoying life again.

One of my friends says I’m publishing kitty p0rn with this picture.
Oh, c’mon. It’s not like cats surf the internet.

“One of my friends says I’m publishing kitty p0rn with this picture.”
Really? Gracie does not look naked. Her carmel and white pajamas make sure of that…
Cute pic, Meryl. Do you mind that I keep swiping kitty pics from you for the animal-pic folder in my hard drive?

Even to her shaved belly.

Aw. Rest in peace, Sassy. She was a cutie, Dan. I see her beauty spot was on her face. Gracie’s is on her shoulder.

Just had to check in to see how you and Gracie are doing. I’m glad to hear she’s really starting to feel like herself again. :) Yay!
