Is that true, or is it a euphamism for something, or does @Gatopescado have to worry…?

Just another voice adding that we love you, too!

And love your many wonderful stories. Keep 'em coming, even if it’s something totally mundane about Jojo or Bayliss. You’re blessed with a crazy interesting life and a great knack for writing about it! 😘

How _are_ Jojo and Bayliss and the rest of the critters? I’m sure they miss you something fierce. Has Jojo’s fur grown out? Does Bayliss sleep with an item that you’ve worn so he can get that reassuring Eau de Beck? How are the Meezers and Betsy Beagle, etc.?

Jojo has turned into a lover of all living beings.  
Especially Hari.  
He’s my first indoor/outdoor cat.  
He has a cat flap into the garage.  
The two cats clean other, Jojo waits patiently while Hari eats, and recleans her face. They go out and sunbathe for awhile and then go visit barn ‘Cat’. Up to the loft and I imagine they sleep all afternoon.

Bayliss is a bit worried about me. Son brings him to see me and he’s never happy to leave. Mid-dau says he’s alright when they get home.

The meezers, what can I say? Ornery and snooty.  
They have some problem every day. Drives people crazy.

Bayliss and Bear have a respectful  
truce. Don’t bother each other.

Jojo on the other hand laments Bear and Meeko not being his BFFs. So he’s often causing a bunch of commotion. Hissing and spitting.  
He’s all well now. Thick coat of hair and few scars. Other than his tail and one weird ear.

I don’t think I told this. Jojo had to go back to the Vet a week and a half after he had came home.  
They were getting the drains out.  
They put him asleep and began to dig around for the drains and the vet pulled something and it was a kitten collar with a rusted bell. It was imbedded deep.  
They cleaned him really good but left it open.

The Vet says that’s why he  
never recommends collars for kittens. Ever.

Betsy the beagle is napping and eating. As usual.

Good God. I’ll bet it’ll feel all weird when he wakes up.

OMG. I’m surprised he could breathe. And not surprised his other wounds took so long to heal.

Did he get lost against their will from somebody who did love him? Or did somebody only like cute kittens, and abandon him, still collared, when he turned into a teenager?

@Beckdawrek

The Daughter and The Granddaughters (COTU#1 and COTU#2) found a little whie doggie that had been running the neighborhood for a while. He showed up at their front door and said, “Hey, I think I’d like to live here!”

He was transported to the vet to see if he was chipped (he was not) and they decided to keep him. The vet visit turned into a health check, shots given, neutering, and the vet found a WIRE imbedded into his neck, like someone used it for a makeshift collar.

His name is Anjo.

Maybe after you are safe at home and all your (non-human) loved ones are replete with your love and no longer anxious about you.

Glad to hear Jojo is thriving. And you? Sonic wants to know.
