Mom went to Petco after her day hunting yesterday. She bought Gizzy a red harness and a leash. When she got home, she put it on Gizzy right away and brought him outside. It was a very unusually warm day here yesterday - it was close to 70F/21C. They were outside for about a gazillion minutes, but she said it was only 20.
When they came in, she gave Gizzy some kind of chicken stinky goodness with gravy. He dove right in and ate a quarter of the 3 oz can.
Then he took a little break and washed his face.
Then he went back for seconds. I had some too. Mom tries to keep me away from his food so he can eat it. Tonight when I tried the stuff in his bowl, he pushed me away.
Finally, after he had eaten about one-third of the stuff in the can, and licked up all the juices, he went to his comfy chair and washed a bit again. He's still kinda dirty, but we figure he just had a banquet and he's stuffed. Maybe he'll finish his bath later. He had a nap, then went back for thirds. Before Mom went to bed, he went back for fourths. By that time Jasmine and I had finished the rest, and Mom put out some more.The spot on his face was from some of that funny sticky food stuff in a tube. Mom had it on her finger, and Gizzy was sniffing it, but I gave him a headbutt and the stuff got all over his cheeks. Oops.

Gizzy:
ReplyDeleteYou like a man with renewed vitality! Mom Lynne maybe all he needed was a harness. He wanted to go outside. If exercise is makin his appepite come back, then he just needs to go out back for a little while! Oh this is such good news!! HAY for Gizzy.

Oops
ReplyDeleteI meant YAY for Gizzy!
We don't think Gizzy should eat HAY! :) We are so glad he ate. Looks like he likes his harness.
ReplyDeleteYay Gizzy!!
P.S. We think stinky goodness with gravy is the best too. Mmmm, gravy!
Yay fur Gizzy! Maybe it really was being cooped up all winter. Either way he looks like he enjoyed being outside. We'z so glad he ate. We'll still keep purraying

ReplyDeleteGood news!
ReplyDeleteMaybe all Gizzy needed was some exercise and fresh air.
How long until Millie and Jasmine start wanting their own harness and leash?
Well done Gizzy - you just want to keep surprising us all, don't you. The harness is much better than being held by the tail - hahaha .... and it looks so smart!
ReplyDeleteHi Millie,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Gizzy is enjoying the outdoors. And he took to the harness so well! One of our cats, Nosey, enjoys the occasional trip to the backyard, but w/o a harness. Although he's relatively young (8), he never runs all out like most cats, so he's easy to manage outside. I don't want to put ideas in your head, but I bet you'd be a holy terror to manage outside w/o a harness!
Thanks for the email about the people quilt. I'll measure and think about what might look nice in our bedroom.

I am so happy that Gizzy got to go outside on a harness. It was nice of yer Mommie to go out and get that for him. And it looks like he had fun! And I am even happier that Gizzy ate good, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such wonderful news! I'll bet he loves that harness to explore outside. Mommy and I are very happy that he had lots energy and even ate well! Yippie!
ReplyDeletewe say YAY for Gizzy too! going out in the harness is so much fun and there is so much to smell and explore! We are glad you ate again too!
ReplyDeletewhat wonderful news! we're so very happy to hear this!
ReplyDeletewhat wonderful news! we're so very happy to hear this!
ReplyDeleteDear Lynne,
ReplyDeleteThe harness and leash are a great idea - glad Gizzy adjusted without a fuss. Mabe now he needs the kind of special feeding situation Mille had when she first arrived, so Millie doesn't swipe HIS food! Whoops - Puffed out tails allaround me - gotta go.
Love ya!
Way to go Gizster! A nice walk outside and stinky goodness! That sounds great. Keep it up Dude.
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy that Gizzy seems to be doing a bit better!
We are so happy Gizzy had a great adventure and ate his dinner. Keep it up Gizzy!!
