One day in the middle of winter (before we met,) Joe was in the carport headed to work when he heard a ferocious YOWL. Assuming, from the sound, it had to be a giant lynx, he cautiously looked around and discovered a little orange kitten hugged up against the block heater. Joe went around the neighborhood asking about lost cats, but he was a kitten of mysterious origins. This cuddly fireball was there to stay.
Gusts to 60 mph (though 103 recorded in the canal!) mean the snow isn’t settling on much around our house in this storm. Except exactly where Joe is trying to park his car in our driveway.
This poor guy has not been doing well, including losing about five pounds very suddenly! Found out today it seems Carlisle has kidney stones and a large cyst due to the stones/inflammation. 😢 The good news is they’ll be able to fix him up next week with the cyst and we’ll hopefully be able to help him pass his stones with meds and a temporary diet change. And otherwise doing well for an old man.
Celebratin’ 🥰
