Yesterday.

Good morning, LL.
Happy Caturday!

Yesterday was such a good day for Ripley.
Last night my DH and I were reflecting on the day, and he called it 'Ripley's Perfect Day.'
She was acting like her old self: begging to go outside to bask in the sun, then begging to come back inside for snuggles, then back outside, etc.
And last night I saw a side of her that completely melted me. She's never been one of those super-affectionate kitties. She loves to sleep on my lap any chance she gets, and loves scritches and pets, but she doesn't 'need' pets (like our civiecat and dog do). BUT last night, while I was on the computer, she squawked at me to be lifted to my lap (poor jumping abilities), and she nuzzled and cuddled me, let me squeeze and hug her and give her kisses, and she couldn't get enough. Her purr motor, though usually a little clumsy and sputtery, was going full speed.
And this lasted about half an hour.

Last night she wasn't the poor-old-weak-lethargic-sensitive-fragile-sick-kitty-in-the-rocking-chair.
She was such a happy, content kitty, and it seemed like the whole household could feel it.
She acted healthy.
:smile:

Hi Josie. Great start for Ripley's day. It was so nice reading how Ribley was acting like a healthy and affectionate cat yesterday. You should be proud of what you have accomplished with her. Keep up the good work.

Have a great weekend Josie.

Morning Josie, what a great report on Ripley and how she's feeling. It's like she's thanking you in her own special way for taking care of her. Thanks for your answer to my question yesterday on how you keep Ripley regular. It sounds like a great regimen and is working. Have a wonderful weekend.

What?!? Where did this pink number come from?!?
Good thing I'm not placing any bets on Ripley's numbers lately. Completely unpredictable -- unless there's a reason that my inexperienced eyes aren't seeing...

Hi, Bruce -- You're so sweet. I'm glad you could join us in our grin-fest.

Hi, John -- Thank you. I do feel proud, but mostly so appreciative of all the tips, advice, recommendations, and support (past, present, and future!) from you and other Lantus Land-ers through this journey.

Hi, Ann -- I'm glad you saw my response. (I meant to answer your question on your condo rather than mine. oops.) I think Ripley and I gave each other mutual 'thank yous' galore last night. And I'm sure they'll continue today...


I went btb this morning (a rarity these days!) and woke up to find my Ripples snuggling next to me under the covers. I don't remember her sneaking in, but what a delight to find her curled up next to me.
Also woke up to find hot coffee on my nightstand and the smell of bacon wafting through my house. I'm a lucky girl.

Hi Josie, wonderful to hear that Ripples had a "perfect" day yesterday. BTB with kitty cuddles sounds wonderful, too. And waking up to bacon and coffee? So jelly. I wish I could've gone btb, but I already slept in close to an hour

Come down from the pink, Ripley! I hope you guys have a great day.

I guess Ripley wants to wear pink today.

Hi Josie, what a wonderful condo! Great to hear Ripley is feeling so good. This gets the feel good condo of the day award.
