Maru Mentors Miri

In order to carry on the family tradition, Maru must demonstrate to Kitten Miri the time-honored art of smooshing his big fat face through tiny little holes.

After the demonstration, the moment of truth: Has Miri learned well from the master? Or did she sleep through the class?

Success! Miri is on her way to boxing greatness. For his reward, Maru is given his heart’s desire: Real human ears!

    What day is it?? Have I missed a day?? Where is open thread?? Now I am way off balance. (More unbalanced than usual that is 😁!)

      It seems the open thread has the wrong date on it and it won’t allow comments. I just sent a Mike message to the submissions email…

      Meanwhile…I’m a little nervous to see how Maru got human ears…..

      How is Bibi?

        Doing a little better each day, and thanks for asking! Bibi’s due for a dose of Rimadyl this evening, and a last one tomorrow morning, and then she’ll be off painkillers. (I lost her last two doses of codeine, but I think that may have been a happy accident.) Her digestion now seems to be accommodating the switch to canned food without any further upsets—which is just as well, as she thinks canned food is THE BEST and I barely get the bowl down before it’s all gone. The best part for me is that her tail is up and wagging again.

        It’s so odd seeing her face look different. Her cute little underbite is gone now. Not that she isn’t still cute, but it’s in an altered way.

          I’m glad there is some gradual improvement.

          • Ricky & Bibi's Mom October 16, 2021 / 4:34 pm

            Thanks—so am I! If I’d had nine teeth pulled a few days ago, I don’t think I’d recover nearly so quickly!

          Awwwww. Tailio wagging. 💕

          Tail up and wagging! Hurrah!

    Miri’s learning from the best >:3

    • Debg October 16, 2021 / 3:12 pm

      Oh yes. I want to see Maru in this costume!

      Happy Caturday everybody!

        I love the hook on the tail!

    No open thread.
    Probably best. I’m in huge amount of pain, both biopsy site and rest of foot. Nephew got hit by a car yesterday, and was lucky enough to receive only a badly sprained shoulder.

      • Dubravkamcvmd October 16, 2021 / 6:12 pm

        I…I …I’m speechless. Kitteh accepting puppeh’s chewing of ear as expression of affection. And this is likely not the only stupefyingly cute thing these two have perpetrated.

    • Dubravkamcvmd October 16, 2021 / 6:15 pm

      I’m sorry for your pain. Fingers crossed that the biopsy results will be good news snd a way forward. I’m sorry about your nephew – your family is having very bad luck.

    Oh Duckie that sounds so awful. That is something that is so hard to tough out. Hugs.

  5. Debg October 17, 2021 / 10:59 am

    Duckie, sending hugs, good wishes, and healing purrs. Hope you and your nephew feel better ASAP.
