  1. Aw, it’s nice to hear that Gracie and Ivy are becoming playmates! A mobile vet is a great idea. We had a cat that was a lap cat – he was such a sweetheart.

  2. Hi Brenda! Just catching up with old blog friends – When I saw a picture of your new girl (Gracie) I knew Charlie must have passed, and may I offer my condolensces, you gave him such a good life, a loving home – and also congratulations!! What a beauty, those eyes!

  3. It’s a good thing you were cautious and got the mobile vet to visit, that spot on Gracie’s neck looks bad, but the antibiotic shot should take care of it. I hope Gracie doesn’t start scratching the furniture because Ivy won’t let her near the cactus scratching pole she’s appropriated for herself!

  4. Glad you had a vet look at Gracie right away; that spot looks pretty bad. I hope she heals soon. You’re lucky you have a mobile vet in your area. That’s so convenient and much easier than having to haul a pet in a carrier to the vet. Clementine has a vet visit next week to see how her kidney disease is doing and to have blood tests again. My poor girl.

    My friend down the street and her husband just adopted two kitty sisters from one of the local shelters. They lost their female senior kitty a couple of months ago and were so heartbroken. They finally felt ready for another cat, but when visiting shelters, fell in love with these two sisters. They are six months old and so adorable, friendly and playful! I have already been to my friend’s house three times to visit and play with the kitties. I forgot how playful and entertaining they are when they are young. And these two are so cuddly, too. You can hold both of them and kiss and cuddle them and they just purr and purr. One of them even gives kisses all the time. It’s funny how some cats love to be held and cuddled and others don’t.

  5. Gracie’s ‘boo=boo” looks really sore. Glad you got it looked after. Sounds like the mobile vet you have is a keeper.
    So much better than having to stuff the cat in a carrier and haul her to the vet’s office. Less traumatic, for sure.

  6. Liane Moriarty is one of my favorite authors … I can’t wait to read her newest book! And I’m so glad you now have Gracie. Ivy will enjoy the company … the way cats do.

  7. I love Ivy’s markings. She makes me think of those black & white cows in Vermont. Gracie’s eyes are mesmerizing. Two beautiful girls. I just finished reading “ The Warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson. She took 10 years to write it and completed 1500 interviews. Wilkerson won the Pulitzer Prize for this book and it was well deserved. It’s very well researched and it deals with the Jim Crow laws in the south and the migration of African Americans from 1900-1970. Its nonfiction but very readable. I found myself looking for time to read. It’s a very informative and excellent read. Off to feed my cats, clean up after them and then go run a grocery errand to get their food. I am truly their servant but willingly so.

  8. Glad you had the mobile Vet come for Gracie. That looks pretty infected. That is great that they have a one time shot for antibiotics so you do not have to try and force pills on her. With her just getting adjusted and trusting you it is good you do not have to do that. Have a great day.

  9. I’m so glad Gracie & Ivy are becoming such sweet friends & that Gracie’s little wound is all taken care of. I’ve enjoyed checking in on them through your blog. I cannot have a cat because both my husband & son (even though he doesn’t live with me he visits often) are highly allergic. I’ve thought about getting a barn cat. I live in the country but do have neighbors fairly close by.

    I also like the suggestions for things to watch. It’s hard to find good shows that are clean. I’m going to check out Billions even though the rating is for mature. If you find anything with a lower rating that you like please share!

  10. Feel better Gracie. You have a good mom to get that checked out. Ivy, you’re as cute as ever, and I am so glad you have a playmate.

  11. My cat will only tolerate being picked up for a few seconds and then she’s done. She isn’t a lap cat either and she is also too big for my lap anyway.
