It's starting to get warm here at Chez-Ranger. The garden is enjoying it, the humans are enjoying it, and, yes, the cats are enjoying it. Ivy is spending more time on the seat of the couch.
I suspect the sun is a bit too direct for her now, on the back of the couch. Ivy is still rather frail, and still seems to be losing strength in her back legs. We've been subQ-ing her daily for the past week, though, and she's been eating more. She's managed to gain some wieght. Up to 6.5 pounds at the last weigh-in. Still having trouble keeping her back-side out of the refuse in the litterbox, which necessitates the indignities of a butt-wash, but she tolerates it well enough. Ivy has even turned into a dedicated lap-cat. Sits on LadyRanger as we hang out in the eve.
Maddie's been getting her share of the sun, too. She's been very careful to not harsh Ivy's vibe while the tuxie sunbathes. Once Ivy moves, though, Maddie's there.
Watching carefully to see if Ivy's coming to claim the sun, but enjoying it all the same.
And of course, it couldn't be summer without Matilda sightings. Here's our neighbor-cat having a pleasant summer's evening.
You can see that she's left plenty of room for her human to sit with her. She's generous that way.
I love that extremely, um, *intent* look on Miss Maddie's face - Was she watching for Ivy to hop down off the couch? :-)
