Sassy cats – Wassup with Sasha?

Dang peep touched my ears!

It’s the peep this week. Gracie took the day off. She’s stalking rotisserie chickens which she thinks grow on trees.

The week was uneventful until the peep found a lump on Sasha’s neck. It’s small and Dr. Google thinks it’s most likely a lipoma but a vet trip is on the schedule. More troublesome is that Sasha stopped eating wet cat food which up until a week or two ago, was her favorite. Did you notice that this came to a head just before the weekend? I was fortunate to get a vet appointment today.

Gus develops yeast infections easily so each week, I put him on a towel and clean his ears. He yowls. Loudly. The beloved husband has to hold him because he’s a strong cat and does not like his ears touched. I’m sure he is saying bad words. He can swear like a sailor.  Some weeks the cleaning goes well and some weeks…well…he’s a cat. I also wash his chin as he’s susceptible to chin acne. (Yes he eats on flat ceramic plates – no plastic.) He can be a real drama queen. (But he’s our drama queen!)

Gracie barfed on her zoomgroom thingie. It’s drying but she doesn’t quite understand why she’s not getting brushed this morning.

This is one of those weeks when I wonder why I have so dang many cats!

  3. Despite everything, Gus swearing like a sailor has me going. Of course, maybe it was your beloved, but I love the idea of it being Gus. It’s the romantic in me who loves a man in uniform. Hope Sasha is okay.

  5. I hope Sasha had a good vet report today and she is being a finicky cat with her food. The picture of Gus is sweet. We usually see him stretched out next to Sasha. At least this didn’t happen before the holiday weekend!

  9. Hope everything is OK with Sasha and the others. Is Morgan OK? No mention today.
    Maya presents herself for her face to be washed every morning so I clean her ears and ‘bits’ at the same time. She’s not happy, but tolerates it. Thinking of you all.

  11. Aww, poor kitties. It’s always something with our beloved fur-kids. Hopefully all goes well at the vet visit and you find out the growth is nothing but a lipoma. Do you mix the rotisserie chicken in with the wet? Maybe she’d eat it if it were mixed together? Just wondering but she’s likely too clever to be tricked like that.

  13. Hope “everything” turns out alright……not eating is a toughie. They go in and out of being persnickety about what they like and don’t like. Hope the lump is nothing to worry about and the not eating resolves when you find something “acceptable” for the non-eater. I’ve gone in and out of that with Ted over the years – he just gets bored with one thing and wants to move on to another (but finding the new “thing” is a challenge!).

    Hugs, Pam

    • She’s never been a fussy eater. In fact, it’s the opposite with her. She will steal the cat’s food so it’s a bit worrisome but she is a cat. She is a chonker so I’m not worried about her fading away anytime soon.

  15. Not eating? Sasha is not eating? That is indeed worrying. People always say that two pets are easier than one because they play together. But they’re conveniently forgetting double the amount of trouble and vet trips and worry (and $$$)!

  17. We had a cat who had to eat on a flat plate because of chin acne. Also this meant she dramatically swatted dry kibble all over the kitchen floor when she wanted something canned.

  19. I hope nothing serious is wrong. Seems like one or more of your furry four-legged friends are always keeping you busy with health issues. Hey, it gives you something to keep busy with, right?

  20. They do keep you busy and wondering. I hope the lump on Sasha isn’t anything worrisome. Will keep fingers, toes, and paws crossed.
