Annual exam time!
Skye and Abby had a trip to the vet today. It was a couple of shots for Abby, and Skye got a shot and her annual exam. Skye got a clean bill of health and now she and Abby are doing well and currently napping. ❤️❤️

SkyeBall check!
Skye had her yearly glaucoma check and I'm happy to report that her eye continues to do well! Her pressure test came in at 17. I just need to continue with drops twice a day. Good girl Skye! 🎉❤️

Covered in 'nip!
Skye loves catnip and especially rubbing on the open container. Since she'll spill the entire container if I leave the lid off I decided to put some on top of it. Wow, she loved it! And catnip went everywhere, including all over her. 🤣❤️

From The Field Earth-Friendly Pet Products we love your 'nip!

SkyeSnooze
Did you know that Skye snores? Not all the time, but she does it on occasion and especially when she's in a really deep sleep. While you can't hear her snoring in this pic, she was snoring away! And how cute is she?!

The look on Skye's face is giving "I was here the entire time. I have no idea what you're talking about." After she stole my spot on the couch before I even finished getting up!

I have an Abby update. She has a type of bacteria called Enterococcus faecalis and it generally exists as asymptomatic. From what I gathered from her vet, any simple urine test that she has will always show that she has a UTI due to this bacteria. The only way we found the bacteria was to do a culture test. Here's where it gets tricky. For cats this bacteria is not typically treated as it can be toxic. Even though she has the bacteria it doesn't mean that she is experiencing a UTI. So while a simple urine test may say that she has a UTI, if she isn't showing any symptoms, she's fine. I just have to pay close attention to her and when she does show signs of a UTI, then we would put her on the typical medication to treat it (not the toxic one). Lucky for me, Abby is very good at communicating when she has a UTI. She will actually have me follow her to the litter box to show me she's having issues. While this diagnosis isn't great, at least I know now that she isn't always getting a UTI over and over. Whew. Thank you all for the well wishes for her! She's doing much better and back to her normal self! ♥️

Shenanigan Level 11 (SL-11)

Skye's pep has her taking new heights, literally.

This cat perch was placed specifically for Abby several years ago and none of the other cats even attempted to jump to it. I honestly didn't think they even knew it existed.

As mentioned in a previous post, all Abby wants is a cat bed to herself. Since she hasn't been feeling 100%, she hasn't been using this bed since it's a bit of an effort to get to it.

This is a perch made for cats and it's over 5 feet off the ground. To get to it, a cat needs to jump on the side table first and then jump up and over to it. Abby is half Gazelle, so she practically flies to it.

I seriously didn't think Skye had the athletic ability to reach this shelf or even cared. She's smaller in stature and about 2 pounds heavier than Abby. Gazelle is not the first thing I think of when it comes to Skye 🤣 But here we are. Skye has taken to napping on Abby's perch. I've been wondering what the loud thud coming from upstairs has been the last couple of days... that would be Skye jumping down on the side table.

Let's talk about the laser focus of Skye. Here you can see her locked in on something outside, but sometimes that focus is on playing with Abby and Niblet.

Skye did a SkyeJerk move last night with poor Abby. She may have too much pep in her step now!

Abby hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks and she's had to get lots of meds and trips to the vet. She suffers from chronic UTI's and it usually takes twice as long for her to get over the infection. She's also a very sensitive kitty and has anxiety. After discussing with her vet we decided to put her on some kitty drugs to lower her stress, which may be contributing to her UTI's and even help her with day to day anxiety. A side effect of this new med is that she's going to be pretty sleepy and lethargic for a few weeks. And she really has been, but she does come downstairs in the evening for pets, brushing, and some low-key playtime.

Last night Skye came downstairs all ready to play and there was Abby hopped up on drugs, minding her own business. Skye runs into her at full speed and tackles her. Abby. Did. Not. See. It. Coming. Abby tried to get away, but Skye was relentless. I had to break it up and even pick up Skye and move her to try and break the laser focus she had on Abby. Skye can play a little too rough for the other kitties sometimes.

99% of the time Skye is sweet and calm, but when that 1% comes out, watch out!

Abby didn't get hurt and Skye worked off her energy chasing a ball in a cat tunnel. Hopefully Abby will be fully recovered when she goes in for a checkup next week.

About an hour before it's time for dinner, Skye sits on the stairs and patiently waits. Then when I head to the kitchen she follows me while I prepare each of their bowls. She loves her routines!

Skye has been fully recovered from her dental surgery for a while now. She's back on dry kibble along with wet food. She also has more pep in her step!

Skye the Oblivious Cat
Poor Abby. All she wants in this life is a cat bed all to her self. Just look at her face! 🤣

Skye is the alpha of cat beds. She will take them all and claim them.

Here's a great example of Skye having no concept of space and hogging Abby's bed. The bed I put out just for Abby since Skye took over the other two beds. Sigh.

Skye mostly sleeps on the dresser on a heated cat bed at night. Abby likes to sleep on the floor in front of the dresser, so I put a cat bed there and she loved it. Then Skye decided that she'd spend half the night on the dresser and half the night in Abby's bed on the floor. So in a effort to help Abby, a few days ago I put a bed on the floor next to the other one. Abby enjoyed two blissful nights in the new bed until last night when Skye decided that she now wants to lay on it. I've moved her 3 times and she keeps going back. Skye is very determined to own all the beds.

Abby will tolerate Skye in her bed, but will kick Niblet out.

Cat bed justice for Abby!

9 YEARS!! 🎉🥳♥️

It's hard to believe it was 9 years ago that Shelly and Tinykittens rescued Skye!

Yesterday I read through her case study for the first time in years and remembered just what a fighter she is. She went through so much during and after her pregnancy, but made it through it all with the incredible team at TinyKittens. I will forever be thankful for them saving her and then choosing me for her forever home.

I adopted Skye knowing that she only had a few weeks to a few months to live, but she proved us all wrong within the first couple of weeks after I brought her home. Now it's 9 years later!

Thank you all for supporting Skye over these years! We really appreciate it!

(Also, she's recovered well from her dental surgery a few days ago. She's back to her normal self! She has a shaved leg in the pic and it's from the surgery.)

SkyeUpdate
She's doing so well! Yesterday there were zoomies and back to napping on the heated cat bed. She had her last pain meds this morning and will go in for a follow-up in a few weeks.

Thanks again for your positive thoughts!

Also, tomorrow is a very special day 🤔1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣8️⃣...

SkyeUpdate
She just woke up from a nice nap for a snack. I got this pic after she finished her snack and wanted to be let out of the room. Since she's on soft foods for the next 10 days, I need to separate her from Niblet for snack time, otherwise Nibs would steal her food.

Skye is doing well. She's still recovering from anesthesia and pain meds, so she's a bit clumsy and has a giant pupil. She was restless last evening and just wanted to eat, but by bedtime she snuggled up and slept by me all night.

This morning she ate well at breakfast and then did her typical routine of taking a nap. She got up from her nap for a snack and I just heard her go back upstairs for another nap. Don't worry about her on the stairs. I escorted her last night and this morning. She can go up and down them just fine.

She definitely has a hoarse meow and it surprised me! I know it will clear up in a few days.

She's on a lot of meds for these first 2-3 days, so I expect to see her start to get back to her normal self on Sunday or Monday.

Thank you for all the well wishes! ♥️
