A Sad Cat

Not too much to talk about today, Monday for me is finished, my work week has begun again.

I think I would not live so much by the start and ending of my work weeks if I had more happening in my life. It's a gray foggy morning here, small inspiration for my latest poem, but mostly it causes both Gilly and I to feel sleepy.

I'm a little worried about Gil. He seems a bit off this past week, slower, dulling fur, very dry skin, sleeping a lot. I tried some extra fat on his dinner last night, and after a bite or two he turned his nose up at it. I guess beef fat is not a favorite. I'll try tuna juice next time.

I know it has to be hard for him to go from an active life to just waiting for me to come home from work each day. I allow small excursions on the stamp sized front yard here with my supervision. He is mostly interested in gnawing the grass, a cat salad, good for dental and digestion for felines. I know that the grass is safe, lol..they do very little here other than mow it.

It may be cyclical, he has had mopey times before in his past, a few of my past cat friends did as well. Change of season and weather has something to do with it as well. I just wish there was something that I could do to brighten and cheer him up. He is very content the days I am off, but it really shows in his moods when I am working. Maybe someday we will be back in a house with a yard, and other cats to keep him company so his days are not so boring and lonely.

Until then, love and cuddles, toys and playing fetch will have to do. Have a good day everyone.
