Quad Canes & kits v.3

So I zigged as someone zagged earlier today, it wasn't Majik cause I saw him on the pillow before I hit the doorframe with my left elbow, hard. I cleaned & bandaged the cut, the elbow will bruise, but I have full range of motion in the arm, but woosa it hurts. Both kits have come by for cuddles since I am in the kitchen drinking a tea. 😺😺 cute but dangerous.

We have 2 new kitties, about 10 mos. old now, and they have been taught to stay away from our feet, cause falling down would do serious damage to Mr. Dixie, and to me. The perils of getting older.

When I "shopped" for a rescue cat a while back, I prioritized large - so he wouldn't try to twine through my legs, and a dark back - so I could see him out of the corner of my eyes against my tan tiles.

So far, so good, but he's losing his previous fear of the upright me, and is starting to get closer while I'm moving around, so time for me to be even more vigilant.

I have been telling Pixie&Dixie back up, back up
.
Waving my cane at them. Pixie now backs up, Dixie is in training.
I was for sure finishing my cat years, I told myself, Majik boy @15 was the last one.
Feral kittens caught by a neighbor, then left behind by them.....I have a big cat alert sign on my forehead.
Be safe fellow cat friend. 😻

told I have severe osteoporosis, I have no symptoms of it. Plenty of other medical issues, though.
