Slowing Down…

This dear boy had a hard night the other night.  He wasn’t waiting at the door when I got home and I found him sleeping hard in a closet where he rarely goes.

He only ate a little dinner and then was in some pain, although he did settle down on my bed and slept peacefully all night.

It was a fretful night for me, but the next day he seemed better.

You can see how large his tumor has gotten in the photo.  It is the hump he sports on his right shoulder…  It is growing quickly, and I can only imagine it is infiltrating his heart and lungs.

Oliver’s Hump

Thankfully, he is usually doing well, purring and eating and thumping his little sister when he is tired of her bothering him.

I’ll take all the time I can get with him.

 

Oliver is Groggy

Oliver wants to know why I woke him up…

Oliver’s Bedtime

Oliver is enjoying his time spent cuddling with me more and more.  He sleeps the sleep of the dead at night…  The other night he was lying down, waiting for me to finish folding the laundry and go to bed.  I tucked the duvet up around him and he just stayed like this.  What a cutie! 

 

 

 

 

Oliver Likes His Feet

Another extremely long and busy week has me exhausted and just chilling with a glass of Pinot.  There will be more posts coming on our Southwest trip soon, I promise, but in the meantime, here’s one of Oliver chillin’.  He sure loves his cat tree.  I just love how he has his little toes all stretched out!

 

Isn’t he cute? And yes, I finally did remove the tag from the cat tree!
