For those who don't know what I am talking about, you can read about it here;

Just to let you know that Chipper and Nugget went to the vets on Thursday and got a thorough checkup and blood tests done. Their checkup went well and I should have the results of their blood tests sometime next week.
The vet is sure that it is all behavorial. He said that it could take another month or so for Nugget to stop mourning the loss of his PeaPod. It's so sad when you think of it, isn't it.

Lorraine, have you been getting many sunny days lately?

This may sound crazy but I've noticed this about Storm recently. When it's been dreary and rainy for several weeks, he tends to get moodier and more grumpy and he'll lash out at his brothers much more. When he finally gets to see the sun again his mood is much better and he seems much happier. I know that sun deprivation affects people too and can cause depression but I never thought that it could also affect animals in a similar way.

You know Tracey, crazy as it may sound, you just might have something there. Last month was the pits for lack of sun and very cold. But this past week, we have had sunny days all week and I have noticed an improvement in the boys and I have pictures to prove it.

Knock on wood, it has been 4 days since Nuggy pooped on the floor and his meowing around the house has become less and less now. Chipper hasn't been so hissy and Poppy isn't attacking him or Willy so much. So all in all, I can say that things are slowly progressing. I do not have a "Paradise" here where every day is good, I have bad days also, but not like it has been for the last month or more.

Thank you all who replied in my other thread. Your advice and kind words were really appreciated.

Now on with the pictures in the next post.

Now this I haven't seen in a while.
Chipper & Poppy snuggling.

This one is too cute.

This one really caught my eye.
Mooky and Nuggy cuddling.

Willy was sleeping on the top of the couch above Chipper & Poppy.

So meowmie is happy to see her boys starting to come out of their "NAWTEE" phase.

I Think That Sunshine And Warmth Makes Every Body Happier And In A Better Mood. I Know That The Found Cats Are Also A Lot Happier When There Sunshine In Thier Lives.
We Are Glad That Things Are Looking Better In Your Cat Household.

Awe... they all look so happy and settled!! I love how fluffy Mooky is! I just want to rub that belly!!

Great pictures.

I'm so glad to see and hear that things are improving.

I'm so glad to read this Lorraine. I know you must be relieved.

I do think there is something to the weather and sunny/cloudy days. We've really warmed up here over the past week (even hit some 70 degree days) and it's been gorgeous too. Since then I've noticed my guys are starting to "chill" out. They all spend their mornings and afternoons soaking up the rays in the sunroom and spend less time bickering and getting into trouble (inappropriate peeing

).

I pray this is a turnaround point for both our kitties!

I for one am a FIRM believer in mood vs. sunshine / clouds!!!! It makes a HUGE difference in how I feel!!! I am so glad to read that things are going better! Those pictures are just so adorable! Just LOOK at my sweet CHIPPER boy!!!!

Hi Lorraine, This is such good and promising news and it's wonderful to see your furkids snuggling and getting along so much better. Hoping that this is only the beginning of many better days ahead for all. Would you deliver a round or six of scritchies, tummy rubs, and huggies to all your kitties from their biggest fan in Trenton?
