Owl Clean Now!

At the Oregon Zoo, Kamaria the owl has a very particular way of taking a bath. After a moment of contemplation, she jumps in talons-first and begins to daintily wash her face. After that it’s time to give her undercarriage a thorough cleaning before flying off to drip dry. (via Dana D.)

    That is SO sweet. First her face and then her private parts.

    I love owl puppet eyelids. So cute. And the callipygian view was awfully cute, too.

    Hubby here.
    Duckie feeling a bit better, although completely flattened by both her health problems and the meds she’s on.
    Docs think this was a serious relapse of the Granulomatosis, which she was not supposed to go through since it was already being chemically controlled. They are worried by how aggressive the relapse was, and we’re worried, too. Some horrible medical terms are being thrown around, like necrotic tissue, bone ulceration, and nerve damage.
    She misses everyone, and tries to check in daily to at least keep up. She hopes everyone is doing well.

      Thank you for the report. Sorry everything is so very frightening and stressful for you both—and for “Little Duckie”: I hope you someone to help with her care.

      Gentle hugs and puppy kisses from Bibi, and all the best vibrations from me.

      Please tell her that we’re thinking of her and sending good thoughts.

    • Debg September 28, 2021 / 8:53 pm

      Sending her all my love and all the healing purrs my cats can produce.

      Thanks for sharing the news.

      I’m saddened to hear Duckie is so poorly. You must know we are all rooting for her – and for you, too. Caretaking has its own difficulties. Please, Duckie, we need you back and hope you feel better and better as the days progress.😘

    • Sedro6 September 28, 2021 / 10:55 pm

      Horrible terms, indeed. Prayers for you both.

    • Tara September 29, 2021 / 8:02 am

      Thank you Mr. Duckie for keeping us in the loop! Have to admit, every time I stop by Cutetropolis, I’m looking for an update. Keeping you both in my thoughts. ❤️❤️❤️

    • Catwhisperer September 29, 2021 / 11:10 am

      So sorry to hear the news, and sending prayer for both of you.

    Thank you so much for letting us know what’s going on. Feeling a bit better is good! The rest is definitely upsetting. The doctors seem to have a grip on what’s going wrong – I guess halting it is the problem/goal. I can’t help except with really, really hoping this works out. We miss you Duckie!

    Mr Duckie thank you for thinking of us. I’m so so sorry though, that Mrs Duckie is going through such a difficult time. 💕
