Elvis’ speechless shock expression is, if I may venture this turn of phrase, a Mood. The horror and the disbelief – I feel you, Elvis. Been there. Now I know what it looks like.
(Fact: At least one kibble brand does make a special Siamese formula. I’ve seen it in pet stores.)
Elvis’ tail says it all: in panel 3, happy and pleased; in panel 4, sort of curdled with horror; and by panel 6, puffing up with righteous indignation!
Thank you to all my Orb friends for the boops, purrs, and prayers for my surgery yesterday. It went well; took about three hours. Besides the removal of the thumb tip, three lymph nodes were taken from my armpit. Now have a huge bandage on my hand, splint, and sling for two weeks. I think this will be more difficult than I anticipated…will see how it goes. I so appreciate all of you and your kindness and support. ♥♥♥Mega Orb♥♥♥
Elvis, we all have a little trouble facing up to the passage of time. Sometimes a change of diet is in order. And I’ll bet the other cats get into your dish too!
Pucky is being so sweet, seeing the bright side of things! While Lupin, of course, continues being bratty … If he keeps torturing Elvis and Goldie the way he does, he’s going to get a double drubbing!
Elvis, it looks as though it is time for you start sentences with “I remember when …” (usually followed by a reference to prices), “When I was a kitten …”, and, of course, the ever-popular “Young Cats Today ….”
The last two panels convey “Why?”Don’t worry, Elvis, my love. Woman did that just to make the other cats eat the senior food. You are still faster than a June bug threatening baby girl, able to climb dumb waiters to save Puck, and can chew through dreaded vacuum cords when necessary. In short, you are the first and last defense for the family. ❤️
Oh that face! I think even his hairline started to recede as the horror of the situation hit him!Senior food, hmmf. Welcome to the Seniors Club, Elvis! We are a fun loving group, and there is even a Curmudgeonly section, reserved for special guys like you <3 ;))
Now I’m thinking about how old Elvis must be. Totally forgot he is much older than Puck and Lupin. He goes back even before the The Woman and Man were married. In fact, Georgia has said he hated every man she dated and one reason she fell in love with The Man is that he was so patient with Elvis. I remember her saying Elvis would do things like sit on top of the refrigerator and swipe at the Mans head!
Lupin made me laugh out loud. Our Petey had to go to the vet yesterday and have a CBC done. Will find out the results about Tuesday. Petey is 16 and will be 17 in July and we want to be sure he is firing on all cylinders. He takes meds for his thyroid, but if there is a supplement that will help him have a good quality of life, I’d like to hear about it. Anything to keep my boy and best friend going. I lost my human best friend of 62 years December 17th and her loss is deep.
I am 14 years older than hubby. Hi hair is gray and the top of his head has proudly begun displaying his handsome head. I still have my natural strawberry bl ond color despite qualifying g for all senior advantages. Get when we ask for one regular and one senior anything, including meals ,movie tickets , etc. , the vendor or waiter inevitably hands the senior one to hubby and the regular one to me. It’s becoming hilarious on date nights.
We just picked up some ‘soup’ style cat food (Lil’ Soups by Friskies) and it’s a huge hit with our older cat. We’ll need to stock up when it’s on sale – we laugh that we’re now on the hunt for soupy sales….who else here remembers “Do The Mouse”?
I was about to switch everyfurrybutt in my house to senior cat food then I got( “The Tiny Terror” or “The Remote Killer”) aka His Majesty. Now everyfurrybutt eats kitten food. Sigh.

From Al Stewart: Time Passages
It was the beginning of March, the bag opened slow
I looked in, a new kibble did show
Kibble for me, how was I to know?
Reminding me of time passages!
How dare you fill my bowl with senior kibble tonight?
…….
Well, I’m not the kind to worry about age,
But oh, Lupin’s jokes just fill me with rage!
The years may run by, who cares about that?
It just goes to show, I’m a more dignified cat.
Because of these time passages,
The pirate ballerina I may have left behind,
Oh, time passages!
Delicious kibble, why must you remind me of my age?
…….
Read the logo and see the part about senior cats
Don’t know why you should feel
That your joy just fell flat
It’s just as delicious right now.
…….
Well now Puck is saying,
That it’s really all good,
Lupin’s laughing at it all
And I feel like i should
Give him a good swat
But what good would it do?
You reach out your paw
And eat some more kibble, so what if
Time passages
I know you’re in there, you’re just out of sight
Time passages
It may be senior, but the kibble is alright!
