It’s horrible the worry you feel getting them through something like this. It does sound like all will come good in the end. My best to you and Bob. ---

For those of you with two black kitties, how do you tell them apart? The only way I could tell my black cats apart was that one had longer fur. ---

When we had two black cats, they weren’t particularly similar other than black fur of the same length. One was a largish tom, the other a petite girl. The tom was copper-eyed and had silky fur (I think he was partly Bombay), the other’s fur felt a little rougher and she had green eyes. If you’re around cats enough, you learn to distinguish them even if they’re almost identical. ---

The one who ate the stick of butter that you recklessly left on the counter? That was the other one. Not the one you’re looking at! – I’ve had two yellow cats at the same time. They had similar length fur, but they weren’t the same shade, or the same shape; and they had different voices. And they had very different characters. ---

> [@psychobunny](#): > > For those of you with two black kitties, how do you tell them apart? When Trei was living outside, she had a twin sister named Jun. Their personalities were just different enough to usually tell them apart, especially when they were together. Jun was killed by pack of dogs one night a few years ago but I didn’t know which one she was until Trei came home the next day. Trei is a paw-dipper so I knew when I saw her drinking water that it was Jun who had died. That was when I brought Trei in. I believe that Seven is Trei’s mother. She had also been living in the neighborhood for years before I brought her in last year. So they look somewhat alike. Seven doesn’t have a clipped ear and Trei does. Seven is also fluffier whereas Trei is more sleek. ---

A friend just reminded me of picture in relation to something else and I remembered this thread. It’s my aging cat Rupert absorbed in watching TV, which is exceedingly odd to me because in ~16 years I’ve never seen him pay even the slightest attention to the tube. He was watching for at least a solid five minutes that I noticed and before I thought to grab my phone and snap a pick. He wandered away seconds after this quick shot, but still…either he has become a devoted fan of Elle Fanning emoting or he is beginning the decline into feline senility 😃.

Bob had his leg lump ectomied today. I was a bit of a nervous wreck only because they said they’d call with an update by noon and to schedule pick up. When they hadn’t called by 2:00 I called them. Everything was fine, just a little behind today because of weather (it snowed a little). So, Bob’s back. He’s totally gooned out on pain meds and I think he’s probably curled up for the night. Yes, he has the cone of shame.

Oh, darling, Monkey has thumbs _within_ his thumbs. As in, each front paw has a thumb … and each thumb has its own mini-thumb. All fully clawed. Should be more visible at the link below.

If he figures out how to use those thumbs human-style, I think you’ll be in trouble. 🙂 ---

This is my boy, Huxley, at around 1 year old. > **[227 hosted at ImgBB](https://ibb.co/1J7SjQk)** > > Image 227 hosted in ImgBB He’s turning 12 this December. A dog his size, this will likely be his last birthday. I named him after the philosopher/author Aldous, but he was the runt of his litter and never attained much in the way of intellectual ability… in fact he is quite thick. But I love him.
