Pancakes didn't eat for a few days. He looked awful. This evening he finally had some GERBER BABY FOOD. Hopefully he continues eating and does not go backwards again. 

Fingers crossed for you & Pancakes. 

Thank you.
He had some food this morning, and he is showing signs of being his old self. He seems to like the Gerber baby food. Haha

Yesterday he ate the turkey and this morning it's chicken. 

Maybe try mixing the baby food with a little wet cat food to get him eating cat food again. Baby food doesn’t have all the nutrients they need for it too be long term. But it is good short term solution. 

Best news ever! So happy to hear. 

Kathy has been working with him 24-7. Ha
Finally, after much encouragement, he started eating again. And the "little one", Cupcakes, has been acting like a complete idiot ever since Pancakes returned from the vet.
I've been referring to it as Cupcakes "reign of terror". Hahaha

I love when diligence pays off, so gratifying. I'm sure the reign of terror Ha will subside considersbly once the princess realizes all is well.

Yeah, the "Cupcake Dynasty" won't last long, but it will last long enough to create havoc throughout the land.

Cupcake taking advantage of a weakened adversary... savage move, but you have to respect it. 

When we brought Nuala in, we were afraid Chains (who had been with us almost 7 years by then) was too timid and would let Nuala run all over her.... one day out of the blue we saw Nuala acting a lot more apprehensive around Chains, and taking the long way to walk around her etc - it was a very noticeable change in behavior out of nowhere... we came to the conclusion that Chains must have put Nuala in her place one day when we weren't around, and I'm just fine with that.

The "Little One" has never in her life had the opportunity to be "In Charge". Well she certainly has taken advantage of her little opportunity. Haha

She growls at him, she hisses, she has taken over his food dishes, she has gained control of his spot on the table, where he lays in the Sun. 

But one thing is for sure, once the big guy feels better, the little one is gonna get a nice big swift kick in the ass. Hahaha

You hate to see it. 

Nuala has an easy 2lb advantage over Chains, but Chains f'ing owns her when she wants to. I love it. 

Cupcakes is a sweet, little, dainty, angel. She is all female. Pancakes is Deniro in Raging Bull. He is as tough as nails, and as dumb as a box of rocks. I have a pair of socks that are smarter than Pancakes. 

Both of mine are dramatic little shits who are way too smart for everyone's good. 

Love the Deniro comparison. 

Pancakes outweighs Cupcakes by 13-15 lbs.
But Cupcakes is the "brains of the outfit".
Pancakes walks around all day looking confused and stoned. Hahaha 

Nuala and Chains
How did you arrive at those names? 

We adopted a pair of bonded cats back in 2016 for whom I came up with the names Alice & Chains (their foster names were Cherry & Jujifruit, so yeah... there are worse names out there for cats than Alice & Chains  ) 

Alice passed in spring of 2022, and we brought Nuala into the fold around Christmas of that year... her foster name was Nova, which we definitely didn't like & I wanted to go with something Irish, so we landed w/ Nuala. 

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Cherry and Jujifruit? Haha

I have 15 year old lilac bushes named Bert and Ernie. Hahaha

Changing the names is a must. Tristan's original name was Ace. Daisy's was Bertha (WTF kind of name is that for a kitten). Lukin was Simon.

Dinner must have been satisfactory. 

Speedy, how is Pancakes?

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Pancakes couldn't wait to show everyone his one remaining tooth.

He's about 90% back to normal.
Thank you for asking. 
He is doing a lot better this week

AWW! So cute. Daisy is not far behind. She still has some teeth, but had to get a bunch pulled last year. I hope she can keep the ones she has left. Too bad they can't get dental implants. I wonder what that would cost!!

So the once Handsome Pancakes now looks like this. And I am sorry, but Kathy and I cant stop laughing at him.

My sweet girl died years ago now - can't believe it's been 6 years. But I love looking at her adorable face still, in photos.

Looks like a sweet girl. 

We never stop missing them... I was just thinking about my Alice last night, next month makes 3 years... hard to believe.

Aww so sweet. I lost Tristan a year and a half ago. It is very hard. I still catch myself referring to Lukin occasionally as Tristan out of habit. It’s funny because I have so many photos of most of my cats on my phone. But I had my first two cats well before cell phones. I have old school film photos of each of them on my fridge just to keep them close by as well.

Lukin can help me pick a record as long as those claws are not out.
