I sometimes think Sam is filled with jelly as he can adapt to whatever position I’m in as he snuggles up to sleep. He’s been sleeping in my lap all evening as I get caught up watching Doctor Who.

The Trials of Lady Em
Emma lost more weight than we expected, started throwing up more than normal, and her appetite dropped off. Despite extensive blood work and an ultrasound (you can see part of her belly that got shaved for the ultrasound) there still isn’t any definitive explanation. We are switching the protein source of her food and giving her anti-nausea medicine and she seems to have stabilized, though she is still well under her normal weight.
She doesn’t appear to be in any immediate danger, and her behavior is normal, but I’ll be a lot happier when her weekly weighings show she’s putting on weight.
No One Bothers You When Your Best Friend is an Alligator
We’ve had this stuffed alligator for years but Sam suddenly started sleeping on it this summer. Perhaps he was trying to escape the constant affections of Boo. Hopefully he remembers that when he was a kitten the situation was reversed and it was an orange kitten that was annoying a black-and-white cat. And that nevertheless Scout took him under her wing and they became fast friends until the day she died.

CAT133 “Tandem Dog Bed Stealing”
If you’ve mastered the art of solo dog bed stealing, why not double your fun? In this class Professor Boo will teach you how to snuggle, spoon, and stick your feet in your best friend’s face!
The Good Life
Ellie takes full advantage of her surprisingly cat-free dog bed.
CAT132 “Advanced Dog Bed Stealing”
Do you steal your dog’s bed, only to find the dog has enough room to snuggle up and impinge on your personal freedoms? Then this class is for you! Professor Boo will show you how one little cat can take up an entire dog bed, leaving plenty of room for you to roll around, or if you’d prefer, get nice and comfortable.
CAT131 “Basic Dog Bed Stealing” is a required prerequisite for this class. Professor Boo takes no responsibility if your dog is a meanie and eats you.
