Yesterday was Smoky’s drop off day for his I-131 treatment. Per the instructions for his admission, he’d been off of his methimazole for a week. Over the last week we’d been monitoring him carefully. He’d been more heat sensitive than usual, he’d been breathing a bit heavier than normal, and his skin was getting drier and itchier. On Sunday night I had to clean his ears and treat the driest of his skin with petroleum jelly because it was just so itchy and flaky that he was scratching it until it bled.

Midwestern through Western PA/NY Eastern OH folks!
This little one needs your help. He needs a home, either forever or foster ASAP. Check him out.
Are you taken yet. No? Well then, I present you with TUMMY FLOOF!
Jet is, as you will see at the link above, fully vaccinated, snipped, and ready to go to his new forever or foster home. If you’re interested, know someone who might be, or just want to look at more picture, please click through to the website above (linked again here because I’m evil) and contact the blog owner. She’ll get right back to you.

You know you need him in your life
Seriously, you do. How can you ignore this face?
Video of the month
I received this today from the always fantastic Carron. I love this video.

Sadly, I can’t embed it because the YouTube link is private so it can only be viewed through the link above. It’s absolutely adorable. Enjoy.

I-131
Nope, that’s not the title of Geoff’s favorite WWII era submarine movie, it’s the radioactive iodine that’s going to be used to treat Smoky for his extreme hyperthyroidism.
Kittehs in love
Of all of our furry children, Bucky (Buckminster Charles the III), is probably the most personable. He loves people, is always around to greet newcomers, and can often be seen sitting in the window. Years ago, when I lived on Beacon Hill in an apartment with a completely enclosed courtyard, he was often known to not only go window to window and visit my neighbors, but also to leap vertically to the second story and sit on their window sills to make his presence known. He has always been very smart, an amazing athlete, and on top of everything around him.
Apparently, someone can read Smoky’s mind
Note: this does not make Geoff feel any better about it when Smoky, not pictured, actually does this. At least now we know why.
Someday soon, actual content!

It’s been a long day
And I needed a good laugh. Then I found this.
Geoff and I have a friend who has an underpants thieving cat. I don’t know if he’d go to the extremes of a drying rack, but it’s amusing to think about. Enjoy.
