At home: Summer update @ 10 weeks

It's only been 10 weeks but Summer has recovered so well since her accident and I thought it was time for an update.

First, Summer is a lunatic but I didn't think photos of an indistinguishable, blurry piece of fluff would impress anyone so you'll have to settle for stills instead.  Suffice to say, she has really recovered and is back to being her normal kitten-like self again.

See? You can't even notice at first that she is missing a leg.  That is in fact the affected side and if you look hard, you can see that the fur on her thigh is still growing back.

One of the signs of a healthy cat is if they preen themselves.  Summer is obviously pleased enough then.

Summer was sure to let me know when she'd had enough of me pointing a camera at her.

Summer and Seth were rescued by an animal shelter.  Men had been trying to sell them as 'meat' in a township and the shelter had confiscated the kittens.  We had gone to the shelter to pick up Summer and so I picked her up, put her on my lap and she promptly fell asleep.  Seth then climbed up my legs, sat on Summer's head and looked me in the eye as if to explain that this was a package deal only.  I had strict instructions from Stephen that we were not to get a male animal and so I looked doubtfully over to Stephen as if to ask what I should do and he just said something like, "okay, so we're getting two then".

So Seth doesn't like being left out.  Here are some pictures of my majestic little boy cat then:

Yes, my cats are pretty vain and Seth is no exception.

But sometimes I can distract him long enough to get a decent shot.

Until he too communicates that he has had enough.

Why can't they be more like dogs?  Dogs never tire of being photographed or being played with or being cuddled! 

Although sometimes dogs like some downtime too.  Have you noticed how Josey (in front) likes to steal Molly's bed?  Josey's bed is actually more expensive and meant to be better for her orthopedically but she prefers the immediate comfort of Molly's bed and steals it.  On the other hand, Molly like the relative coolness of Josey's bed anyway.
