I Have a Handle and Cats Taking Liberties

Hey everybody Happy New Year. Humpff. Not such a great new year here so far... but there were a few highlights... so the cats got a new bed...and they like it and that's a good thing...the more snuggling they do with each other the better for me...Gilly and Coche are BFFs...
I got to go home to Cincinnati with my Mom and we had excellent accomodations in our basement suite...I even got my own TV...I watched a lot of Law and Order marathons ...

The weather wasn't too bad...just chilly enough to need my Christmas scarf...

Lots of sunlight for good picture taking....

And some good times were had walking and sniffing...

And I even did some running...

But all good things come to an end and we came home to Chicago and it was cold...very cold...and that's when things started to go down hill...first Lucy took advantage of my personal warmth and space...I hate that...

And then my tail decided to droop and I kinda tripped once or twice getting into the car and it hurt...and then Mom took me to the Emergency V-E-T, because she says I only have accidents on Sundays whatever that means...and I was on pain meds again...and I refused to eat anything but chicken and rice...

But it gets worse...Mom found me a Handle and is making me wear it all the time...

And even though red is one of my colors...I do not like having a Handle...

I try to run away when Mom gets it out but she does not let me...she says she needs it to help me get in and out of the car and up our steep steps at home...so I am wearing this stupid Handle and guess what happens again....

Sometimes life is just not fair...

I think Buster Brown is laughing in this picture...in fact I am sure he is...I get no respect...Oh and I almost forgot...we've had a "foster" kitty in the house for a few months now...Farrah Lee - she was turned in to Animal Control for being Feral-y and they thought she belonged at my Mom's work but turns out it was a mistake and so for a few months she was hissy and spitty...and now look at her...kind of looks like she is making herself at home doesn't it? She had better not try to cuddle is all I have to say...This year is just getting better and better...

Things have to turn around soon right?
