Poor Cub feels violated.

Poor Cub feels violated. We found a few stitches near his butt and the vet said we could remove them if we felt comfortable doing it. We got them with no problem because we have the best boy. But look at how sad he is!

Adrian's pee came back normal, so that's good. I guess she just likes to let us know when she's gotta go. 😂 Silly girl.

Look at this good boy.

Look at this good boy. He's almost healed up, thank goodness. I think he's gonna have some gnarly scars. But at least he'll be able play and not have to wear the cone anymore.

Scar has arthritis in his hips/knees and a torn ligament. He's on pain meds and joint supplements. We are looking into cold laser treatments for the arthritis. I've never heard of it, so I didn't automatically agree to try it. Gotta see what that's about.

We didn't get Adrian's test results yet. Hopefully we will tomorrow. Paws crossed that it's good news.

Early morning tomorrow.

Early morning tomorrow. Scar's having x-rays done on his back legs.

We should be getting Adrian's pee test results back soon, too.

I'm really hoping for arthritis and no UTI. Paws crossed these old kittens are ok.

More hormone/period/boobie talk incoming.

More hormone/period/boobie talk incoming.

So my period came 4 days early. It's still going. But I didn't feel PMS at all this time. I do feel like I have a hormonal headache today, though. Nothing is kicking it.

If my schedule is off, that could be why my boobs were sore unexpectedly. They are not overall achy anymore, but I do have some sore spots. They found some cysts when they did the ultrasound and though I never felt them before, I haven't stopped feeling them since all of the mashing. They are super tender and I really don't like it.

Anyway. I don't know if I'm running early because of HRT or not, but it's likely that I am. That's ok. The doctor said it was fine. I just really wish anything would stop my head from hurting.

Bear had a chew when I needed to get ice today...

Bear had a chew when I needed to get ice today. I thought I'd see what happens when he's occupied by something other than a licky mat.

Y'all, he took his chew, ran a weird path towards me in the kitchen, then went outside and got under his favorite bush. 😂 His eyebrows were up so high. I don't think he knew what to do with himself, so he excused himself from the situation. 😂😂😂

Oh, how I missed this face.

Oh, how I missed this face.

I also missed his gross, cheesy kisses. 😂

Every day to avoid drama when I get ice, I "cheese the dogs" - meaning that I put spray cheese on a licky mat so that Bear's distracted when I use the ice dispenser. He still notices, but licks the mat more furiously rather than roaring around the kitchen and biting me.

But the thing about sweet Bear is that after you give him a treat, he gives you kisses. And because he's just a whole mess, they are messy kisses. Whatever he ate is smeared on your skin or clothes. He so reminds me of a toddler with a dirty face that just HAS to give you the love right then.

Gosh, I love him so. He's my baby-kid. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm pretty confident...
