I have no memory of taking these.

I told you I took roughly a zillion photos of Fey staring at that wall she always stares at in the shower.

Petting Fey in bed.

This is what Fey looks like a lot lately. She crouches down like she’s in pain or nauseated. Sometimes she meows plaintively. Then sometimes she throws up and sometimes she goes off to do something else for awhile. Today it was always going off to do something else so far. But she’s getting too thin and looking like this too often for me to just hope it will go away. I don’t know if she’s just getting old or if there’s something treatable going on but I have to find out.

Fey sits in the shower and stares at the wall a lot. I don’t know what on earth lives in that wall but there’s got to be something in there because she will do this for really long periods and usually staring at the same spot. She does it more when I’m on the toilet though. Like I was when I snapped roughly a zillion photos of her doing this today. She’s really intense about it.

Fey on my rocking chair. With two dad shirts, a shawl I made, and a mom poncho made from alpaca. Old lady cat in style! I love being surrounded by the smells of people I love, and so does she.

Home with Fey. Feel like hell. But planning to stay home. Brain fried bad from speech. Tired.

One of my delirium thoughts had been I’d never see home. Then I got home saw my front door and cried. Cried again when I saw Fey.

Fey plus core of toilet paper. I swear he’s turning into the kitten she never was as a kitten, ever since we moved.

Fey enjoying my new bath mat. Came with the welcome mat (yay no more people tracking snow all over). And yes that’s a bald spot. She’s over grooming in an area she has nerve pain. May explain the biting.

I think Fey has been waiting her whole life to be an old lady cat.

Because now she can be a grumpy old lady and everyone blames her age.  But she’s always been like this.  It backfires a little though because to people unused to cats she looks about half her age at most.  (People more used to cats can see the loss of subcutaneous fat and other indicators of age, as well as the wisdom and other stuff that sometimes accunulates with age.)

People always tell me she doesn’t look 15.  But she tells me she’s 15 all the time.  She tells me it means that she’s older than me and therefore she should get what she wants as close to 100% of the time as possible.  Which is, of course, not always possible.

Meanwhile she’s been so kittenish ever since the move.  She finds things to bat around the house and plays more than she ever played in our old place.  I think we’re both happier here.

Fey and a dad hat

1:52am December 28, 2014

Fey is trying to look dignified…

…and run in circles in the shower chasing her tail, at the same time.  It’s not working.

(In general, since the move, she’s become kittenishly playful, less bored, and I frequently find her finding things to bat around in a very gleeful matter, like batting them up in the air and rolling over onto her back and catching them… and if all else fails, there’s her tail.)

That eerie moment when… You’ve been walking around the whole apartment, which is crammed full of boxes,calling the cat. And then you just happen to glance at one of the wheelchairs and these two cat eyes are staring at you. And you realize that she had been watching you the whole time. Silently. With an intense look kind of like this photo. The aftermath involved me going back to bed, her coming in shortly after, and snuggling up near my face for awhile (social snuggling) and then going to my feet (I want to snuggle but touch me and I’ll rip your arm off).
