Living on the Edge

Look how I expertly distribute my girth on the window sill.

Things I eat and drink

Here I am eating my special wet food, that my person combines with water to form a slurry. I slurp the slurry. Then I take a bath and dampen my fur with my slurry-breath.


I like to chew on leafy things. When my people brought home the farm basket, I sniffed all the vegetables and chomped on the leafy ones. My person said she would have to wash off my slurry-spit later.


Here I am in a beer box. I don't really drink beer. Just water from the sink. I don't care for my water fountain anymore. I like beer boxes though.

Just right

Now that it's summer, our upstairs gets very warm. I like to go upstairs and lounge in the closet or behind the futon on the carpet. My person says it's too hot for me to spend much time up there. She says I get overheated and glassy-eyed. She only lets me go up for a little while, then she makes me come downstairs and closes the door. Yesterday she measured the temperature and it was 95. Just right.

Sometimes, I look a little bit like a cow

Here I am, lounging on the rug. My person said the pattern of my fur reminds her of a cow print. She also said cheese comes from cows. I like cheese.

Also, look at how long I am!

What company?

My person was getting our extra bed ready, so I helped her by pouncing on the sheets and digging in them. Then I settled in on the pillow. I took a bath. I even got a little bit under the covers. I was glad to have a new spot all set up for me. Then she said we are having overnight guests. And that one of them has four legs and black fur.

So very sleepy

After a busy day of playing String, scratching my person while she sat at her computer, and climbing up the window screen, I was tired. I went to bed early. I have been sleeping on my person's pillow a lot lately. I don't like to share it with her though. I like to push her off, by sleeping on her face or touching her eye while she sleeps. Then she moves and I get it all to myself. See?

My Conditions, Part 2

I had to take a medicine for my bladder problems. It had some side effects. Specifically, poop would just come out of me. I left little blobs of it around. My person said it was like living with a rabbit. It also stuck to my fur. She kept sneaking up behind me with baby wipes, which I did not like one bit.

Once that cleared up, I started to get sick. I threw up a lot. My person took me to the emergency vet. I had to have a lot of tests, including one where they shaved my belly. I hate the vet's office. My person told the staff that I am not cooperative. They did not believe her. They tried to take my blood. They had to bring me back to her. My fur was a mess, and the staff's hair was a mess. A big blob of my fur was stuck to her head. I got a note in my file about that one. Heh.

I might have a pancreas problem. But I might not. No one really knows. My person said that tests show my organs are in slightly unusual places.

I took some medicine for a few days and now I feel better. Here I am licking my belly after my test. My person says I have a little pink piglet belly.
