Remember us?!

Greetings friends!

Sorry about the long absence, there's been a lot going on for some time now. We moved into our new house and have been hard at work refreshing things. A million projects to do!

We are all hanging in there although Nahum and Theo have been having more health problems. Since moving, Nahum's blood glucose levels have not wanted to settle back down. Our vet has tried a lot of things and we will be taking him back to Tufts for an internist to help out. The ultrasounds show weird things going on with his pancreas. 


Oliver is still sweet as ever. He's quite the cuddler and so loves being close to me. I took him to my office for the first time on Friday, hoping he can become my office cat, since Nahum has been having health problems. Oliver makes everything better, he's such a dream.


Pierre is still Pierre. He's still semi-feral and won't let us touch him. He's adorable to look at though!


Theo's been also having health problems. He's been drinking a lot of water and losing weight. We've done extensive diagnostics and everything points to no problems. Kidneys are fine. Blood glucose numbers are good. This weekend his health took a dive and we brought him to the emergency vet. He's been very not himself, face and body trembling, not eating, drinking, moving. Spaced out. Breathing funny. It's been hard to watch. Testing the emergency vet did also was all normal. He's most likely headed to the specialist as well. One fun thing about the ER visit, the vet tech that met us at the door, she used to work at our vet's office and she remembered our name and shared about how special Marvin was to her! Everyone who met Marvin loved him, he made such an impression. I think of him often and miss him dearly.


Rose still won't let us near her, so no good pictures of her to share right now. I've been working a lot on the house (redid the bathroom), building cabinets, and now a lot of painting. Once things are more settled, I'll take some photos of the cats' new home to share with you all.

We've missed you all! Hope to return to the blogosphere soon. Be well!

  1. I remember you well and I have missed all of you. I also loved reading the updates on the cats. And seeing them again. I am so sorry that Nahum and Theo are having this problem with their health, Tufts! I get the newsletter for cat's health and information and it's worth every penny. I save them all. I have special long distance love for Oliver. Pierre, Rose...come on, guys! Be nice.

  2. Is there any chance whatsoever that Theo got into insecticide...a cleaner...a thinner...anything like that?

  4. Oh, it's so good to hear from you all! Concats on the move, but sorry that some of the cat crew are ailing. Sending purrs and hugs. Sweetie has been inside since mid-March, and today was the first time she stayed in place when The Hubby sat next to her; an example of the time it can take for some cats to figure out that not every human wants to eat them.

  6. What a relief to hear from you! Have been worried, checking and checking all these months, what with Covid and all. But hopeful that this silence meant you were busy with a new house and associated exciting things. Welcome back!

  7. We are so glad to hear from you and send Nahum and Theo our purrs and prayers of health. One of our friends cat had the new remote glucose monitor put in and it is a small button and is great as you can get readings all day long without sticks. Purrs friends
