And here is Posy enjoying looking out the window from a temporarily well-positioned shelf:
I noticed the other day that Posy had a lot of scabs on her neck. At first I thought it might be from Plum, who will occasionally bully poor Posy. But he generally leaves her alone, and new scabs were appearing daily. I googled “indoor cat has scabs on neck” and got pages and pages of hits. Apparently this is a thing? But not something to worry much about, as long as the scabs don’t get infected. They can be a passing allergy or an allergic reaction from over-grooming, which Posy definitely does. I’m keeping a calm eye on the situation, and giving her lots of neck scritches, which she loves.
(Updated to add: I remembered after I wrote the above entry that we had gotten a bag of kitten kibble by mistake and had decided to mix it in with their regular kibble. It occurred to me that she was probably having a reaction to the kitten food, so she is back to eating just the normal food -- for now, at least. Their normal dry kibble, Nutro Max, is no longer being carried at the pet stores nearby, so I'm going to have to find another kind that they both like. Nutro has another line, which is perhaps replacing the old, but it seems rather overly healthy for my two finicky cats, since all the flavors are brown rice and something...).
