Hi, my name is....

No, I can't wait to hear them. Tonio

I'm sending healing purrs too! I can get pretty loud when I want to.
Bij

Thank you. Meowmy is doing much better and she can use the magic writing box for short periods. Tonio

Thank goodness! I am still sending BIG purrs.

Mouski

Thank you. I've been snugging close to make sure gets all the benefits of healing kitty vibes. Tonio

I'm sending some healing purrs too. Glad I have a lot of them since meowmy and my Lori seem to need them right now too.
Bij

My meowmy calls the close laying "laying on of paws." She says there is no better medicine.

That is so true. Tonio

How is your meowmy feeling today? Almost back to normal I hope.
Bij

She is doing great, all is back to normal. I'm glad. She has to have a cateract removed in August but now everything is good. Tonio

My grandmeowmy had that done a couple years ago. Now she doesn't need big thick glasses. She says it was the best thing to happen to her eyes in a long time.

Mouski

Meowmy loves to read. I hope it helps her to read easier.

It should, I have the same surgery to look forward to at some point in the future if I still have medical coverage. I already have the beginnings of them in both eyes.

I just got my first set of "bifocal" contacts. I have one eye corrected for close up and one for far away. In general, it works great. Sometimes, I feel like I am looking through a weird lens though - like nothing is quite focused like I expect. I'm getting used to it though. Cataract surgery is a while off for me, I think. Maybe by then, I won't need to correct either eye.

I tried bifocal glasses decades ago, when I was 20. Couldn't function at all in them. As nearsighted as I am, everything is distance to these eyes. Now it's gotten to the point the glasses will correct only so much.

'Tonio, does your meowmy have to get the other eye done too?

Not that I know of. Tonio

"Tonio,how's your sight? Good I hope, mine is fading slowly.
Bij

Mine is fine. I'm sorry to hear that mi amigo. Love and purrs. Tonio

Purrs for you from us too.

Mouski and GK

They're not cataracts but the kitty dr. says I'm going very slowly blind. Good thing my meowmy doesn't move the big furniture, it's the dratted boxes she has out from time to time I have trouble with. So I get in them so they'll smell like me and I won't almost run into them anymore. Last time, I got in a box that was half full of canned stuff! The space was sooo tiny for me to sit.
So far I can see better than light/shadow but sharp details are gone. Very glad my ears and nose work well!

Use those whiskers too! They work real well at telling you when the boxes are around. I knew a blind barn kitty years ago, and she was still a mighty hunter because she used her ears, nose, and whiskers. She lived to a ripe old age and hardly ever got lost when new hay got piled up or things moved around in the feed room.

Ever read "Homer's Odyssey"? He's a blind cat that managed to scare off a burglar!

Meowmy has, we read A Street Cat Named Bob together. Tonio

Homers' story has a continuation book. He passed recently at 16 years old.

HUMPH!! I've just been informed I have to go see Dr. K. tomorrow. Tonio
