Now Three Cats Are Down

 I'm not sure what is happening with my cats.

Yesterday was Frodo; he's still the same. He was drinking water this morning but is off his food. He ate some cat snacks, which is good, maybe!

I noticed today that Mama and Sam are not their usual selves either. Both are off their food; neither has any energy. I'm planning on giving them some wet food tonight; if I can get them to eat a bit, it might help.

My one worry is that Mama cat got out last week, twice! I really hope that she didn't pick up something or ingest some kind of poison. I think another trip to the vet when they open tomorrow!

Frodo

 Having nine cats means that there is always some drama!

Fights, racing around, knocking over water bowls and the occasional litter box accident. That's normal; one of the first T-shirts I designed said "81 lives, endless chaos", and it is!

The past couple of days, however, the cats have been very quiet, especially Frodo.

Frodo is one of the cats that always greets David when he comes home from work. Frodo purrs and meows, wanting to be held and petted. This morning, however, Frodo just sat, looking at David. No purring, no jumping up to get on David's lap, just sitting there. So David took Frodo to the vet; he thought that Frodo might have a cold. The vet checked but no cold, so they did a few tests, but there's nothing wrong. The only thing I can think of is the dramatic change in the weather, almost overnight! For the past couple of months, it's been in the upper 30℃, yesterday in dropped to the lower 20℃. 

I hope Frodo feels better soon!
