Panthor Grooming
Sister Panthor grooms herself on a massage table in our living room. The table was setup to facilitate "energy sessions" for mom and dad, but with the Biomat underneath the covers, it did not take Panthor long to find it and (briefly) take over the table.

Safe with Mom
My health issues have flared up recently, but I found comfort with mom's arm wrapped around me.

Notch Visit
Our dear friend Notch has shown up several times for food since she reappeared on Christmas Eve after many months' absence. This is about as far as we can open the patio door before she runs away, but dad was able to get a quick photo of her.

Panthor Chin Brushing
Panthor likes individual attention from time to time, so she leads mom into mom's bathroom where she receives facial massages or a good brushing.

Kitty in the Window
Sister Panthor looks out the living room window. It's cold outside, so she does not get to go out to her outdoor enclosure too often. That's a statue of Quan Yin in the yard, with red Christmas bows on the fenceposts.

As Good As It Gets
Second only to cuddling in mom or dad's arms, this is as good as it gets for an older kitty girl: Napping in warm sunshine on mom and dad's bed on top of my very own green comforter.

Drinking Water
Drinking from a small water bowl on mom & dad's bed. Spillage only becomes a problem if they forget it's there and decide to ruffle the covers. Then we have a little excitement.

Sunshine Girl
Once again I am soaking up warm sunshine coming in through mom & dad's bedroom window.
At this point my pancreatitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have given us all a few more challenges to deal with. Also, I continue to refuse oral medication. There is one liquid medication that helps with the IBD that dad can sometimes get into me, but I absolutely refuse to swallow the pills that actually do me the most good. Mom and dad respect my wishes on this issue, so they do not force anything on me, and the consequences are what they are.
I will not take oral pain medication, either, so dad rubs a transdermal pain compound inside my ears once each evening to help me settle down at night.

Eating Baby Food
To help soothe my digestive woes, mom and dad now feed me baby food in addition to the Hill's Prescription Science products that I use (AD, ID, & WD). I like the Beef and Beef Broth, Chicken & Chicken Broth, and Turkey & Turkey Broth flavors. Mom discovered that I like to eat directly from the cans, as I am doing here with the baby food jar. Of course, as the food gets lower in small jars or cans like this, it has to be transferred to a different container so that I can get to it.

Exploring the Yard
We've had snow on the ground for several months now, but warmer temperatures finally arrived and began melting it away. Today I took dad outside so that we could smell the grass and all of the other delicious outdoor scents.

Eating Snow
I like to eat snow! Dad clears the top layer off so that I can get to the clean snow underneath.

Quality Time with Mom
I am kind of a restless girl these days, but here I am enjoying some quality time in mom's lap. Dad said he had to do a lot of Photoshopping on this image because I had a lot of dried baby food on my mouth and nose. That baby food is sticky stuff, but it is easier on my system and I do enjoy eating it.
