Kira just keeps ticking. Despite our concerns about how well she is doing, she still rebounds back from the brink time and time again. I think her down days are an elaborate act she puts on just to see if we are still gonna give her lovin's. There are still times when she sleeps all day, doesn't eat, and is wobbly on her feet... but more often than not, she is alert, hungry, purring, and follows her daddies around for more love. Every time we are about to write her off, she bounces back with energy and affection. Right now, I give her a couple more weeks... but anything could change at any time.
The boys, Bailey and Sidney, are behaving irregularly as well. I think it is part S.A.D. (seasonal affect disorder) due to grey skies and rain outside, plus closed windows and curtains that result. I think it is also due in part a result of Kira getting extra daddy time. (Bailey still thinks "pouncing" on Kira is a fun game, so we have limited the boys' access to upstairs, thus allowing Kira to remain relaxed-- especially important now that she has lost most of her hearing and can't hear when Bailey is closing in on her)
As a result, the boys have come up with an ingenious new strategy to get noticed--thus getting more daddytime. For months, Bailey has claimed the red, bust patterned chair as his "bed" in the living room, and Sidney prefers Simba's old cat bed. Seems only fitting that Bailey has the dark patterned chair to match his dark patterned fur. Likewise, Sidney naps fittingly in the simple tan bed, that matches his simple tan coat.
BUT NOW, they have inexplicably switched... creating kitty contrast. Dark cat on light bed, light cat on dark bed.
