Well, not exactly. It is Feline Friday, and it is a state holiday. But the holiday happens to commemorate Statehood Day rather than Feline Friday. But I haven’t broken the news to the cats. It would be a letdown.
The only real news is that poor Kiko had the sneezes for several days this week. It started on Sunday or Monday, and continued through Wednesday. Bouts of sneezes. Sometimes one, two, three. Then she would stop, shake her head a bit, and lick her nose. It worried us, but she didn’t have any additional worrying symtoms. No drool from eyes or nose (although each sneeze did spray a little!). No open mouth breathing. So we crossed our fingers that it was just a kitty cold and not a more serious respiratory infection, which can also cause sneezing.
Today it seems to have passed. We’ve been hovering over her most of the day, and I don’t know if she sneezed at all. Suddenly it was gone. Just in time to save her from a precautionary vet visit. Way to go, Kiko!
We do have to be careful because Kinikini has tested positive for Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). It means that we have to take any kind of infection seriously and get him to the vet, as infections that would normally be routine could be dangerous for him. He?s been with us for over four years, and so far all is well.
Okay. You’re in luck. It was a good week for photos, and I took a lot of them.
So on with the show!

Sounds like Kiko just had a bout of allergies? Anyway, good to hear she’s gotten over it.
Such cuties! A much needed respite from a crazy week. Glad Kiko dodged a bullet. TIME has one of those specialty magazines on cats that I just picked up at Long’s while waiting in the prescription drug line. Haven’t finished it yet, but cracks me up that it says your cat thinks you are nothing but a giant cat! So, I’ve started re-evaluating my Pepper’s behavior with that in mind.
