I was awakened about 4:15 A.M. by the sound of Tommy
preparing to throw up. She hasn’t had
many incidents of stomach distress until two cases this week. It looked like another hair/fur case, so it
was quickly cleaned and Tommy was soothed.
We went back to bed and as I was falling back to sleep I
could hear Tommy purring as she settled in by my feet. I was happy to hear her
contented and happy. I fell back to sleep not to be reawakened by Tommy until
around 6:40.
Once the heat came on, Tommy made sure that I got up and got
her breakfast ready. I finished my chores and then Tommy and I had a short play
session. I put the sheets in the washing
machine half expecting Tommy to move away from the noise and to the bedroom,
but she remained in the main room and sat up on top of her scratching post
enjoying the sunlight.
We had played with the fleece teaser in the main room and a
while later I noticed that Tommy had pulled it near her. This was my cue to
play. While she stayed on her back I dangled the fleece above her. She batted
it around with her paws before grabbing it followed by chewing and pulling on
the end. When she was finished playing she went to the bedroom to have a nap on
the bed.
I had to run to the grocery store and Tommy remained in the
bedroom napping. When I returned, she came out to greet me. After a short
petting session Tommy settled on the sofa. I wanted to catch her before she
fell asleep, so I picked her up and brought her over to the dining table. She
was very still while I rubbed the dental wipe on her teeth.
When we finished she got her treat and grass was put out.
After she ate her lunch, she went back on the sofa to finish her afternoon nap.
While she slept I started getting ready for the Oscar viewing/dinner. My
friends who had been here on Friday were coming back so I hoped that Tommy
would spend a bit more time with us.
When company arrived, Tommy came out to greet them although I
still think that she was being very cautious. During the night as we watched
the Oscars and ate, Tommy alternated her time among the bedroom study and main
room.
A couple times she came over and sat on the ottoman next to
the chair I was in. She also spent some time near the other guests. I was glad
to see that she was more comfortable with my friends and not hiding in a
different room. She probably spent as much time in the room with the humans as
she does when I’m the only one home.
Once the company left, Tommy let me know that we needed to
have a play session. We spent some time in the study chasing the light and then
moved to the main room and bedroom to chase the flashlight and laser lights.
Tommy was nice enough to give me some time to put away the
food before we played and put the dishes in the dishwasher and do some general clean
up after the pay session. Once all my
work was done, we had one more short play session before a good night hug and
snack. Once again when Tommy was done with her snack, she remained on the bed
and curled up at my feet to sleep.
