Not a fan, but winter is something one survives (hopefully) so that spring may occur.
I miss Stitches, very much. Fortunately, we have Jasper and Blaze to help ease the pain.
Blaze has had to have dental work done, but he's recovering nicely, and hopefully will be back to his nomal crazy self soon.
Blaze had similar dental work done last year; it hasn't slowed him down much. Mind you, he's going to be 13 in a wee while, so life in general is a bit slower for him than the name Blaze would lead you to expect.
The problem with adopting senior cats, especially when you don't know what they ate/how they were treated in their younger years, is that you have to accept that you'll be doing cleanup for that lack of attention (or maybe just bad luck, though we've never had cats with problems like this, when we raised them from kittens).
Anyway, we're poor but happy lol.
