Noel, the Christmas-cat, will be 13 years young on Tuesday. If you search ‘Noel’ on the sidebar, you will probably find more posts at the DogDaz Zoo on her then any of the other animals. Maybe because she is the oldest of the current pack, or maybe because she is so photogenic. I can’t believe that this little white terribly ill rescued kitten grew into this amazing white rabbit-fur purr machine. Noel has the Feline Herpes (FVR) virus, which almost left her blind. I had to carry her for a month close to my chest to keep her breathing and now look at her: Queen of the Zoo.
I was standing in the yard with the dogs and one of the many many cardinals that live in my yard, graced me with a quiet moment so that I could take a photo of him. The other day, there were 4 vibrant red males in my mock orange bush, but alas, I did not have my phone/camera.
It appears that Noel pulled out a whole claw and now has a fungal infection going on. She did not like going to the doctor, but she was as good as gold. She even let them take her in the backroom and cut her nails. The pinky claw grew back thick and dark and I was worried it was going to turn into her pad. They cut it really short. Let’s see how it comes back in. She was happy to get home and go directly to sleep in Louise’s office bed.
Charles wanted to lie on the blanket, but Mini Cooper got there first!
Usually, she lies on the towel on the pillow to the right, but she changed her mind. So shortly after this shot, Charlie climbed up on the pillow and laid there instead.
What I wouldn’t give to sleep like a cat, in a pure state of grace. Noel loves to sleep on any blanket or pile of soft stuff that she can find. I, on the other hand, could be in the most comfortable bed in the world and would not find the uninhibited peace of deep slumber. Oh, to be a cat at the DogDaz Zoo.
