Good morning my DU family,

I write as a nervous "parent" this morning as Cuddles seems to not be himself this morning since coming in. He's making pained noises when Shadow approaches him and while he doesn't have any visible signs of distress, I've never heard him greowl like that before.
I've been giving him Cosequin for the last couple of weeks on my Vets recommendation, as he's been spraying a little since we took him to the vet for the sore on his leg, which has healed well.

I won't go to church today unless I see him more himself before it's time to go.

I guess there's some mornings where it's best to ask for kind wishes even as I offer you all a beautiful day filled with special moments shared between you and your loved ones, even the furry ones of course.

Have a beautifully revealing day DU,
Love, John

And made another weird almost coughing noise, maybe he has a cold?

I'm not a cat person due to allergies, but I do love how much cat people love their cats. I believe it's a force for good in the world.

Shadow just hopped up and is washing him, this will be a test of sorts as that usually leads to play fighting lol.

Yuk, now his head is all slobbery lol.

If it keeps up, a visit to the vet may be warranted.

I will be thinking of you and Cuddles today. Please take care and keep us posted.

Healing vibes are being sent to your precious Cuddles from Martini and me.
