As a humble attempt to offset all the horribleness, I want to share with you how I am doing with teaching #Milo to take selfies. #CatsOfCoSo #CoSoLovesMilo #ThereIsGoodInTheWorld

One thing I cannot resist posting:

My Remission Tattoo is done! Here she is. I am in love. Also in pain - this is just under the crease of my left elbow.

For your #Caturday I give you an extra spicy PURRITO because one #Milo kitteh will not take his meds without being toweled.

I went to my #HappyPlace tonight. #bellydance

What to do with a gift day off? Receive email saying there have been too many closures so there is no pay for today unless you use a leave day. I have no such thing what with #cancer treatment, so I will be docked a full day. As a coping mechanism, I wrapped my nails. #manicure

Happy Passover to those who celebrate - or just fervently wish that blood on door posts or absolutely anything at all could divert destruction.

I am posting a lot, but look, I took a portrait of #Milo

For this #Caturday I give you #Balazs who is big mad because he doesn't fit on my tray and could only put a little bit of him on there.

Today I unlocked the accomplishment of turning 53. The #bellydance circle got a cookie cake, my love got a cake that fucking glitters and has a unicorn, and #Gandalf and #Elsa surprised me with letting #Milo hang out with them. Although everything could crumble at any moment, today my life is good.

Got home from work and got to snuggle #Milo before he bit me in the face, hyper-like 🤣

How tiny is #Milo ? He is cuddling with #Elsa who weighs *6* pounds.

It is the first #Caturday that #Milo is spending with us and it is fair to say he is ridiculously tiny. But he is already learning to recognize @junation as a cat whisperer.

#Milo is home! He weighs 2.2 pounds, his left eye looks bad (he is being treated for cornea perforation), and he is 10 weeks old. We are going to our regular vet with him tomorrow. This is a good #Caturday eve.

I'm not crying, you're crying. I didn't get to have surgery on my partly blind left eye today. There is overcrowding at our local shelter. We ran there w @junation to pick up a male kitten. They had one with vision loss in the left eye who was rescued from a hoarding situation. We pick him up from the vet tomorrow after his neuter. Name TBD.

It is incredibly painful to celebrate #Caturday (or do anything, really) when grieving a cat, but here are #Gandalf and #Elsa. #CatsOfCoSo

#Twin is looking ragged now. Fluid is making his abdomen swell and his breathing is labored. But he is eating, moves around fine, and seeks out love and interaction. We are actively watching for signs he might be ready to leave us - we will not let him suffer. He is not ready yet but on Jan 4 we were told three months tops. #FuckCancer in our beloved pets too, not just in humans.

A friend of mine, my former Pilates instructor, a social worker by training, likes painting. She posted online about this work that took my breath away in light of my recent struggles and turmoils. Today she left me the painting outside my house while I was at work. I am incredibly moved and grateful.
