Ivy's been with us for another week. She's down to 4.5 pounds, and is having troubles hopping up to her favorite napping spots. Doesn't stop her from finding the sun, though:
She really enjoyed this spot. Napped here for quite a while.
You can see, to the left of the pic, the scratch-pad that we glued to a box. Ivy uses this as a step to ascend and descend the slopes of Mount Couch. Showed her how to use it once and it's now routine. Makes it easier on her frail old legs. Ivy still bottoms out more often than not. We think we're seeing some signs of diminishing quality of life, too, but she still seems to enjoy those fine feline pleasures of sun, sleep and supper. We'll keep Ivy fans up on all the tuxedo news. Many thanks to all of you who've expressed their best wishes.
For all Maddie fans, don't worry. Ivy still enjoys an occaisional nap on the bed, and that's when Maddie grabs the sunlight:
Just keepin' this spot warm for Ivy! (I do *not* believe I just said that...what *am* I coming to?!)
You're a thoughtful girl, Maddie.
That sun must feel soooo good on your old bones Ivy!
Sun, sleep & Supper are the best parts of life, so keep it up, wee girl!
