Four Kitty Post

The kitties are all doing well - they seem happy and healthy and they are glad we are back from our vacation.  They seem to have done great with our pet sitter - no jail breaks, illness or injuries!  :)

Ollie seems to be doing well on his meds.  We will go in for a checkup on July 2nd to see how his thyroid levels are responding.  He has mellowed a bit on the meds - this is nice for him as he is not in trouble and for me since he is not in trouble and for Aggie who is not getting picked on nearly as much.  He is still ornery, don't get me wrong - just not so much the instigator.  He has been playing lots with the ferrets since we came back from vacation - he seems to enjoy it and they love it.

Phoebe has been a bit of a klingon since we returned - always wanting to lay with you or on you.  She seems to be doing just great - happy and chatty as ever.  She has wanted to play fetch several times since we got home - Emma could learn something from her for sure.

Zoey is my leaping girl - still infatuated with the counters in the kitchen.  She seems to be losing a bit of weight so she will be next into the vet after the big appointment with all the little critters on the 2nd.  She seems pretty healthy - good appetite, good energy level, etc - just needs her checkup to make sure all is well.  She is happy we are home but she is so independent that she doesn't really like to show it.  I have had several lap visits since we returned though....

Aggie - she is going strong.  She is happy we are home as well - has been sticking pretty close.  I find since she is getting tormented less by Oliver her need to torment Phoebe is less as well.  Its all good stuff.  She has a special thing going with Violet - not sure why but she will let Miss Vi lay with her and get close.  Violet loves her and is always so happy when she has a chance to snuggle.

All in all - kitties are good.  I missed them while we were gone...
