    Now that's good therapy ! You must be in bliss with all those little ones, content as can be, creating an aura of orange in your world. I love it!!

    Thanks everyone. Radar may be either sick or just very tired out from playing too hard. I'm hoping it's the second one. I called my vet hospital to get some advice and since I was able to get him to eat a little bit of canned food, they told me to monitor him. This morning when I went to feed the kittens only Reece and Rory came running. Radar was still sleeping in a cat cube. He seems very lethargic and he wasn't interested in eating any of the dry food. He's usually the first one at the food bowl and he's a little piggie so I knew something must be wrong. After he ate some canned food he went back to the cat cube to sleep again. I know that Finnegan was playing with him a lot yesterday so I'm hoping that his body just needs some extra time to recover. Please send some prayers and positive vibes his way. Thanks in advance.

    Prayers for Radar! Is his nose cold and wet? I hope it's just him being tired out...if one of my cats stopped running to the kitchen at food time I would be worried too!

    Get well, little guy.


    Beautiful pics...you sure don't need your Vitamin C tablets with so much orange in your life!

    They blend so nicely with the color of the cat tree. I just love seeing your photos. I hope Pearl and Ziggy will come around and be able to stay in the same room with the boys, eventually. I know exactly how it is when they don't get along. Stressful!

    I hope little Radar is feeling better soon.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I love looking at all that wonderful orangeness!! As for Radar, my cats have all been eating less with the heat, even though I use the air conditioning a lot. As long as he is eating something and drinking, just keep an eye on him. I sure hope that precious little darling feels better soon!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Prayers and good wishes and healing energies for dear little Radar, that he and his appetite will shortly be back in fine form.

    I hope Radar starts improving and feels better. It's no fun feeling sick. Hopefully you won't have to take him in Monday.

    Another Radar Update

    Radar slept most of the day but he finally started eating more dry food on his own at 8pm and again around 11:30pm. He took his medicine at 10pm and was a very cooperative little boy. Then a bit later around 11pm I couldn't find him because he had finally left his cat cube. He was sitting in the hall and he looked so much better. I picked him up and he didn't feel as warm as he had before so I'm sure that his temp. has gone down. During his 11:30pm feeding he also wanted to eat some canned food but he couldn't finish it all. I think his stomach must've shrunk a bit from being sick but I'm sure in a few days he'll be eating normally again. Reece tried to jump on him to play with him and he just stood there. I don't think he feels good enough to play just yet. I've noticed that Finnegan has really been missing him because Radar's a little bigger than Reece & Rory so he's much easier to play with. The other two scream a lot because Finnegan is too rough with them. Rory's right eye still looks bad and he keeps having white goopies coming out of it. I sure hope that it won't get worse and that he won't break out with an URI. If he does my vet will see any sick kitten tomorrow at 11:30am and I also still have an appt. with her on Tues. at 8am so hopefully if it's going to happen it'll happen within the next few days. Thanks again for all of the prayers and positive thoughts. By the way I think that Radar will grow into a large cat because he's not quite 4 months old yet and he already weighs 5.28lbs. He probably usually weighs more than this because this was from Fri. when all he ate was a tiny amount of canned food all day. Finnegan at 8 months old only weighed about 6.6lbs but I think he's grown a bit and weighs a bit more now.
