Kitty Maintenance Records

In order to keep everything straight and remember when I did what on which kitty, I have to write it down on my calendar. I'm not always perfect, such as with their ear cleaning, since I pretty much do that regularly as needed, I definitely write down when I changed their litter box, when someone got a bath, when I started Reggie's inhaler (in order to know when to order the next one), when I started their new food (so I can tell the vet if it's working after a month), etc, etc...

PS: Reggie's inhaler is doing wonders for him. In the first three weeks he only had 6 minor attacks (that we heard anyways); he was having them pretty much daily before that...I read that it could take a couple of weeks for the inhaler to really start it's "magic", so we started the count over for another three weeks and will see what that shows us. I think he can sort of taste the inhaler because after I am done giving it to him, he always opens his mouth and smacks his mouth together and sticks his tongue out - sort of cute if you ask me.

Sights we see

Here are a few things we see when we look outside. The neighbor has two black boy cats and this is one of them. We often have stare down contests between the glass!

A few updates from our Mom:

• Reggie continues to play fetch daily, often causing me to throw his mouse for him 20-30 times...in a row! And each time he brings it back!
• Both Marley and Reggie will be going to the vet on Sunday (yes, our vet works on Sunday!) Marley is due for his yearly shot(s) and Reggie is just tagging along for a wellness check-up.
• Reggie still coughs, but not as much. I will talk to the vet about this on Sunday. He also threw up a few days ago for the first time. This was scary as his tongue was hanging way out of his mouth as he coughed and then finally hacked up dry food.
• Reggie continues to gain weight and his nickname is now "Butterball". I have a feeling the vet will say something, and not in a good way, about his weight.
  
• Marley got a bath tonight and was very, very good!
• Both kitties are very cuddly at night and Reggie loves getting under the covers with me early in the morning.
• And lastly....if Reggie fails to cover up his you know whats, Marley comes along and covers it for him! What a good brother! I guess he doesn't appreciate the smell either!
