Perched upon a lonely mountaintop

I perch upon a lonely mountaintop to survey my kingdom.

The life of Satan is a solitary one.

From high upon my perch I see all souls worthy of reaping.

No creature may join me here; I will consume any challenger.

With my tummy full from the tasty souls with which it is satiated, I shall now perch upon my lonely mountaintop and rest happily in preparation for the next hunt.

Kako the kitten

I need a kitty fix today, so enjoy some photos of Kako from 1998 when she was but months removed from being a newly adopted kitten.

And finally a few shots of her lounging around on Derek.  He could always be found resting on the couch when he didn’t need to be up doing anything, so Kako assumed he was simply part of the furniture.

Grendel appears to be doing better

Grendel sleeping on a pillow (106_0605)

Grendel has shown some improvement over the last few days.  He’s now getting up with me in the morning and following our normal routine, he’s spending more time awake (although he’s still sleeping most of the time), and he’s even played briefly a few times.  He’s still not his normal self, but he is showing signs of feeling better.

His daily medication intake is still rather high: appetite stimulant, nausea suppressant, steroid, antibiotic, and asthma inhaler.  Poor fella.  Luckily, not all of that is permanent.  As of this coming Wednesday, he’ll come off of everything except the steroid and asthma inhaler.  The vets all say we’ll know within days of that change whether we’ve addressed the problem he was having or if we’ve only solved an unrelated issue.  Let’s just hope we have found the cause of his illness and are treating it correctly.
