Trying to brush him intermittently, which he tolerates. Even the tail, so long as I only brush a little.
Eleanor went up to him, sniffed noses sweetly, and he accepted her kisses with patience, maybe even some pleasure.
Expresses his gratitude to his old friend, Heater.
And my wonderful D. (Should I just call him by name, since that letter has taken on unfortunate slang meanings of late?)
I'm just glad the cats seem to like my cooking. Duck giblets from the Asian market, turkey thighs from the smaller grocery store, chicken hearts and livers on order. Honestly, I think it's going to be cheaper to feed them better, if a bit more time consuming. Dark meat and organ meat is no longer considered edible, meaning, it's all cheap. Which baffles me since I've never liked white meat chicken nor turkey. Getting the turkey heart was a favorite treat when I was small and turkey was being roasted.
If only we could get ground mouse...
Our own diets have become far less processed, less breaded, more vegetative and fruity. And I have treat food stashed away, not because I wouldn't share, but because he can't eat it, and I don't want to tempt. Getting undue pleasure from sneaking chocolate all for me, without having even the option of sharing. It's all mine, in the best way imaginable.

glad to hear all's well in your home.
in poland, it was normal to cook for your pets (mainly because store bought food and kibble was not available) and my mother in law continues to do it. at least you know what your furry friends are eating!
pc,
Indeed. Just have to remember they are obligate carnivores, not vegetarians, not grain eaters, and can't taste sweet. Too bad the commercial pet feed companies don't get that. But they have a Product!
Had to give Eleanor some of the kibble, just a little, as a treat. She doesn't understand the change yet.
Sometimes hidden treats are my favorite. How embarrassing. Glad to hear the cat brushing is going okay.
I used to cook for Mol (in the slow cooker!), after the vet recommended only prescription food, which was rather dull and dry. Duck legs and rice, usually, she didn't do so badly.
I like D's beard, is that new(ish)?
Nimble,
It's the fluids he really objects to.
Lucy,
Nope, he's had that for many years.
Funny, I don't remember noticing it, though you don't put so many full face pics of him I suppose. It looks rather donnish.
Lucy,
I read him this comment, he chuckled and said, "that's nice." He like looking donnish.
