Friday Notes

As usual, San is trying to keep our end-of-year promise of posting once a day so we can finish the year on a good note. She tried to put the tree away, but we convinced her to leave it up until Chinese New Year because it makes the house feel more festive.

Our only wish for 2026 is good health. That feels like the right wish, especially since San keeps telling us to do the laundry because she thinks it’s Saturday—when it’s actually only Friday. Hopefully, she gets the hang of things soon

 

A blessed Christmas

We’re celebrating a nice, quiet Christmas. San and her buddies already had a  party earlier in the week. She bought us brand-new collars and a tiny tree, and we were very excited about everything.

Our neighbour is on vacation, so there’s no music this year—but that’s okay, because San sang me a special song with my name in it when I sat on her this morning. That was the best Christmas present of all.

We wish everyone a day full of joy and love.

 

Christmas Eve

                  We remember Popsicle Poppy. 

Easy Peasy News

San says we should treasure the very last days of 2025, so naturally we began with health checks. The good news is that, even though our sister Momo has a few hiccups, she remains her usual wonderfully strange self. She zooms around the house, meowing at absolutely nothing. She still meows in her sleep, and san has to call her name before she remembers to stop.

Her ultrasound showed some inflammation in her kidneys and GI tract. The vet wondered if it might be IBD, but after more checks and a long question session for san, he decided that SubQ fluids can wait and will only be started if needed later. Momo has also managed to put on a little weight without any appetite stimulant at all. She’s now 3.5 kg, up from 3.4 kg, which we consider excellent work on her part.

Manju is doing very well at a solid 5.4 kg, with strict instructions from the vet to stay exactly as he is. I’m hovering around 4.3 kg. I may have fewer teeth now, but they are impressively clean after my dental.

Today san is heading out to lunch with some buddies, leaving us mostly in charge. We’re perfectly fine with this arrangement, especially since she’s spent most of the December break keeping us company. We hope you are all well also. ❤️

 

Slow time Tuesday

San is taking things slow this morning and so are we. We all had a good sleep as there was no thunder and no rain all of last night and it looks like the day will be fine as well. My brother Manju is going to the vet today as san thinks every one of us should get a health check. She said that after everything that has happened to me and Momo, she would have to know if Manju is ok. Momo and I will be home taking it easy. 
 

It’s raining again

I woke up to a gloomy day and slight drizzle. San said it might rain the whole day. But just for once I took courage and sat with my sisters instead of hiding out. It is true what san said. The rain didn’t hurt me at all. Hmmmm…..

 

Sunday at home

 It rained for much of today and so san had to close the windows and door. So we didn’t get the usual breeze which we loved so much. Even the little person did not visit us today as she was inside most of the time. However Momo had a long conversation with our other little neighbours although we didn’t hear her talk much. We think she was just judging them as usual. 

San hopes Momo is out of the woods now as she has managed to pee a little more each day. Momo had to go to the vet last Wednesday as she was not able to pee. The vet had to do another blood test and we were glad that she had no bacteria and especially no crystals as well. We know san was afraid of crystals most of all because of what had happened to Totoro and Mo also has polycystic kidney issues. Unfortunately Momo  is very sneaky at going to the bins and san has been having a hard time monitoring her. But she doesn’t think she needs to bring Momo  for a review next week. But we shall see. 

All Done Sunday

 I am glad to report that every one of us is well and we have no more vet appointments for the year. Momo had her ultra sound last Thursday but her vet was not around to discuss her results with san. But san said we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Today began a little late as san was up until 2 am last night. She said next week will be prep week for 2026 and she had to make a plan. So we were up until 2 am as well as we thought it would be nice to keep her company. I did not go to the vet at all as I am very well and only 3 years old. My vet appointments will be next year. I told san I will cross that bridge when I come to it. 

Life is good.

 Finally all my vet visits are over for the year. I am good and very well. My kidneys are ok and my urine test went well. I just had one tooth extraction. San was very anxious about the whole thing. San was worried as Momo is only 5 and she has kidney issues. The vet said that it could be hereditary as we are Persian cats. I am 6 already although san does not know for sure. Life is good for us as eventhough Momo  has some problems, we will be able to cope with it. 

Meditations …

 San brought me to the vet yesterday as she was worried that I had not put on much weight. But after some tests the vet told her that I had kidney issues and I am only 5 years old. My creatinine was 2.7 and my urine was not as concentrated as the vet would like. The vet recommend dry kidney diet as he said I should put on weight first and a wet diet does not allow me to gain any weight. San thought perhaps a combination might be the answer and she would discuss this with the vet tomorrow when Sky goes for her annual checkup as well.  

Easy Peasy Sunday

 

San told us that the days for winding down a little are here. She was out last weekend and saw that Christmas ornaments were out. She bought us a little Christmas ornament for Christmas cheer. San said next week she may try to persuade Manju to walk outside for a bit , perhaps in the early morning as Manju has been nervous at night. Last night she had to carry him from the kitchen to the room to sleep as it was raining and he didn’t like rain at all.
