If you scritch Studly in a particular spot, he’ll start licking his chest right below his chin. If you then scritch another particular spot, he’ll forget he’s grooming, mid lick, and he’ll look at you with a big belp. If you then scritch under his chin, he resets his tongue.

Then he wanders off for a while and I always imagine he’s annoyed that I giggled.

The boys are cuddling me while we enjoy a sunless balcony visit. Making good use of the two hour window before the next time I suit up to feed/give fluids/medicate the fosters.

Studly is watching my cooking project just in case blueberry compote somehow, magically, turns into something he likes. 😹

Tell your human to stop taking a social media break and post your photo, already. Sheesh. ~Studs (a couple days ago)

Studs letting Sammy give him a cuddle. 😍

As we said at the shelter: A “good” cat/dog is often a tired and/or sick cat/dog

I’d much rather need to up how much I play with Studs than have him be “good” because he’s in too much pain to get into trouble.

Thank goodness for CBD.

Studly has been getting into more mischief recently. Chasing Henry and Mary, trolling for trouble, insisting he needs my food, scratching where he knows he shouldn’t, etc… But he’s also increasingly been letting Sammy cuddle up to him.

Me: ????

Then I realized maybe he’s feeling better! Increased the CBD for his arthritis ~2 wks ago & must be getting to a good dose.

So. Been working hard to wear him out with play and the mischief is subsiding. 😻

Bring your human great joy by demonstrating just how much you are recovering from early traumas. How? Let it all hang out (a position of extreme vulnerability and trust)! ~Studs
