Dear Friends,

I had my abdominal ultrasound, and I’m happy to report it did not show anything obviously wrong that would cause me to lose weight. However, on top of losing some weight, the lovely Tabby’s Place staff noticed that I’ve been feeling a bit off. I’m so grateful they pay such close attention to me, especially because I can’t tell them when something is wrong.

They noticed I had lower energy on several occasions, especially in the morning. I also haven’t been begging for treats and haven’t shown any interest when they’re offered, which is highly unusual for me. The kind vet team is waiting for some test results, and I’ll be getting X-rays soon. In the meantime, I’m getting pain medication, which helps me feel much better.

Despite not feeling well, I enjoy hanging out with my mellow, sweet friend, Durin. He’s been a good friend to me. And we both enjoy our many visitors and all the attention they give us. How lucky are we to live in this amazing place?!

We’ve been slow to use the solarium, partly because it’s all so new to us. The kind staff and some visitors have shown us how to use our cat doors and encouraged us to go outside so we can enjoy the fresh air. We’re getting the hang of it and plan to enjoy lots of beautiful spring and summer days in our huge solarium.

Thank you for your love and continued support, which allows me to get all the special tests and care that I need. Like Durin, you are such a good friend to me, and I love that you are in my life.

Much love,

Ponce de Leon
