Well, it was a week ago that I got so sick, and in that time, I've gotten much better. I even wrestled with Mao last night!
Medications are a trial, though -- and I still have a week of them left (harrrumph!) -- but I know Mom and Dad will get them in me. They love me and want me to keep getting better, but ugh, those pills taste awful. But by golly, I'll hang in there, like the tough Mancat I am.
Here I am, resting with my sweet little sister, Dorydoo.

After a round of medications, I teleported over to the Piney Woods to visit my Patches Lady! We had a great time together, and I met her sisters, who are very nice. She lives in a beautiful place, and she showed me around. We even saw two vishus deer! If they had shown inclination to be a problem, I would have protected my beautiful Lady, but they stayed at a safe distance.
My Lady and I shared the sweetest nose kiss. Here's a picture her Mom made:

And more exciting news -- my sister Marilyn received a fabulous prize package from
Henry and Clyde for winning their 100th Post Contest, and she shared the goodies with us -- among them was a catnip bananer! Pictures are on
Marilyn's blog.

And yet more great news! MaoMao was just awarded the Sweet Award from our wonderful friend
Adan! Thank you so much, buddy!

We're going to pass it on to
Henry and Clyde Helton, because not only are they two of the sweetest fellows around, they are wonderful friends.
Thanks to MaoMao for letting me blog again today! Mao will be back tomorrow. And don't forget Dorydoo's birthday coming up on the 16th!
