Hello everyone, I love our couch sooooo much so I thought I’d give it a great big hug! We had a pretty quiet weekend and we all spent fun times yesterday purring on our Mom for Mother’s Day. She said she enjoyed that and we did too. We might just do it again today for good measure.
Yesterday morning our power did go out for a while. When the power goes out our uninterruptible power supplies that we have on our televisions starts beeping like crazy just before the generator kicks on. That beeping sound sure scares poor Simon and he ducks for cover under the recliner in the bedroom. He usually does that but he came out of hiding pretty quickly yesterday.
Hey, several of you commented, on our post about Simon’s super-strees about going in the carrier and in the car to the Vet. Many of you asked if there is a home Vet in our area. We haven’t found one. There was one once several years ago and she was great but they went out of business because they couldn’t make ends meet. Several suggested Gabapentin, but Simon is almost impossible to give oral meds, Dad might lose a hand, and we understand that the transdermal hardly works. So, we’re still trying to figure it all out for him.
Okay, that’s it for now. Y’all have a fun day, catch ya later. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
that is sweet… we love our couch too…
You really loves that couch, don’t you, Brian?
That is a nice big hug, Brian. It is a pity that the vets don’t do home visits. It would make life much easier.
Nice of you to show your appreciation to that couch that provides you with a nice nap spot, a perfect spying on the yard spot, and a nice “getaway” from everyone else so you can have some alone time.
Hugs, Teddy
You look so sweet hugging your couch, Brian.
I know your mom enjoyed the cuddle time and one can never get too much of that so do be sure to snuggle up with her again today. 🙂 I hope each of you have a super fine week, my furriend!
Hugs are the best, no matter “who” or “what” the recipient!
You look comfy there on your spot. Some cats are hard to help in some situations. Sorry Simon is one of them, but he has come a long way from his previous life.
You look very comfortable. I can see why you love that couch.
I hide Beaus gabapentin in rolled cheese, the processed kind. tear off a strip the size of the capsule and he takes it like a treat but then I assume cats do not swallow treats whole like he does. Poor Simon.. hugs sweet guy and Brian you are the best sofa hugger ever
Sounds like a lovely Mothers Day for all of you. I do know about finding the right vet for Precious. When she came home 9 1/2 years ago, I took her to the closest office and used them for 3 years. But the owners/doctors did large animal barn-calls and they employed fresh out of school vets. But they were so inexperienced things went very poorly and every year the vets were freshly new! None stayed. Finally we got into a very stable modern office with 2 wonderful doctors and a huge staff of permanent office and tech employees. Makes me… Read more »
Awww, Brian, you look so cute hugging the couch!
Brian, I wish I was hugging the couch too; so sleepy!
Sweetie has been very vocal at night recently; maybe because the weather has finally turned, and there are more outside critters for her to observe?
Dunno, but a nap on the couch seems like a wonderful thing.
Your couch hugging deserves the biggest aww ever Brian 🙂 (=⚈ᆽ⚈=)
Have a couchhugtastic week 👍
You’re so handsome, Brian. It’s always good to see you.
I’m glad your mom had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and my best to your peeps. ♥
Oh yeah, those sounds that pop up and squeak, beep or bop can be an eye opener. My furs hate the once a week test thingy that comes on tv. I can’t seem to get to the remote fast enough to cut the sound down. Lily hugs the chair like that when she is being BAW and acting silly! You look adorable.pam
Sweet photo! All of my furry angels loved *their* couch, too! Ducky used to bark at my brother when he would sit in her favorite spot. ❤️🩹
oh Brian I just love you! You do all the same things that Cody did!
dood….now THATZ what we callz ….COZEE 😉 glad yur mom hada grate day ♥
We both hate those beeping sounds too. Like mother like daughter!
You look so sweet in your pic, Brian xx
You look quite content on the couch. Jack loves to sleep on the back of the sofa and has made Teddy see how great it is, so now two cats are napping there.
That’s a very sweet pic of you, Brian! We do hope you find a solution for poor Simon’s vet stress.
Purrs,
Tama and Benny
Darling photo- enjoy your day!
MOm said I am impossible to pill at home. NO way. I don’t say anything going to the vet…just while I am there. I wasn’t that way till I was poorly handled by kid “techs” who manhandled…kid handled I should say, Katie badly. They made a precious cat who was amazingly unafraid, into a cowering growling frightened cat. No gentleness now will alleviate it. We blogged about those kids.
Aww…you are too cute. XO
We have those noisy beepers here too when the lights go out…they are no fun!!
xoxo,
Rosy, Sunny & Jakey
Aww poor little guy. You do look very relaxed here though.
That’s the best couch i’ve seen in a while, i don’t blame you for hugging it. Hope your Mom had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Couches are the best!
It looks like you have a great couch! It is the best when they are huggable. I hope that you are able to find the help that Simon needs. It can be so hard finding a good doctor (even as a human)! Sending more purrs and prayers just because I think it helps. Here’s a few hugs too.
You look super comfy there, Brian!
***Secret message to Simon: Don’t tell anyone, but if I hear a doorbell–even one on TV!–I run for cover behind the bookcase. So I know exactly how you feel! ~Izzy.***
Oh ~ you look so comfy and cozy ~ sweet photo of you ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Se ve muy lindo en el sofa. Yo cuando doy medinas a mis perritas. Les mezclo con una comida que les guste. Te mando un beso.
Awww… Best wishes to all your dear family. 😀
Happy Monday!
Charlee: “I guess even the couch needs a little TLC now and then!”
Java Bean: “TLC?”

I don’t know what it is. But power goes out it feels werid.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Pocket hated beeping sounds. She used to climb on Daddy’s head.
You’re such a sweet boy, Brian. I understand the love for a couch😸We’re lucky to have a vet in our Country that comes to you, we hope that will be available in your place too one day🙏Extra Pawkisses🐾😽💞
Do not disturb me
Hugging the couch is a great way to help it feel loved and cherished:)
Pipo used to hug the armrest of our loveseat like that, he could watch all the goings on from there, too.
Hope you can find a better solution for Simon’s issues.
To my mind, Brian looks much more huggable than the couch. Sweet deams, sweetie. As far as Simon and anti-stress meds, perhaps some catnip or silvervine might help. However, we have the same problem with Dani. The vet visit is worse than the ailment.
Have you tried Rescue Remedy for Simon’s trips to the vet? You can get it in a spray, which you could spray in the crate before loading him. It might help.
