I am now back home after surviving 11 days at Lay-dee’s house. Lay-dee bragged that I only spent one day hiding in my closet fort instead of my usual 3 days. She was happy I only threw up once instead of my usual 3 times and that I didn’t pass out once. I, however, managed to convince Lay-dee to give me way more treats than Maddie does by letting her pet me as a reward. I even conned Lay-dee into feeding me two scoops of her annoying rugrat cats’ food by refusing to eat my own kidney diet food. Lay-dee was worried about me losing more weight while I was at her house. She is so gullible. Lay-dee told me how pretty I was and how brave I was. Lay-dee even told me how strong I was when I swiped at her that one time. She was putty in my paws.

Pinky Ruth #105
I enjoyed judging the neighborhood children from my window perch. Some of them are not well behaved. All of them are too loud. I was able to supervise 54 delivery vehicles and 16 terrible teenage drivers at 2:20 every afternoon when the high school let out. There was also one scary garbage truck and one scary recycling truck. The birds, the squirrels, one raccoon family and the neighborhood dogs and cats were interesting to watch but seemed to lack the street smarts of those I scrutinize in the city.
I was forced to have friendship time with Lay-dee’s rugrat cats. The black and white one is just creepy and cannot be trusted. The tabby one is tolerable. We nose kissed many times and stared at each other for longer than I found necessary. The tabby seemed to want more of a commitment in our fleeting relationship than I am ready for.
I am enjoying being home with Maddie in our new apartment. I had only lived there for 5 days before I had to go to Lay-dee’s house. I like the carpet under my paws, I like exploring the new sunspots and I like to watch the birds in the trees and the people on the trail below my windows. And I like being with Maddie again.

Pinky Ruth #104
I know you have missed me. For I am, the Pinky Ruth.
As you can see, I am currently hiding in a closet at Lay-dee's house. I am most unhappy about my predicament. But, you probably already knew that.
So much has happened since my last update. I have been through 3 terrifying apartment fire alarms. I have passed out 4 times after throwing up. And, I have had one speedy, Uber assisted emergency room visit. I have since lost enough weight that Lay-dee now refers to me as the family supermodel. I occasionally have visits with my new friend, the cardiologist. And, I have recently been uprooted from my comfortable, 5th floor city home.
I now have a 4th floor view of trees. My Maddie has moved. I am still in the city, but there are birds in the trees and people on the trail that is just outside my windows. Plural, because I have 3 big ones now.
Not to brag.
But currently, my Maddie Smith has left me. I am forced to stay at Lay-dee's house. I would like the record to show, that I find vacations to be cruel and unusual punishment for me. I mean.....Lay-dee only gave me five treats today.
I would have preferred six.
Signed, Pinky Ruth, cranky

While Pinky did visit Lay-dee last weekend, I'm pretty sure her little morning incident was not my fault.
Everyone please tell lil Pinky Ruth that she's no longer allowed to cause a fright by fainting after vomiting. This morning was the 2nd time this has happened in several years, and while it was very scary, she's fine, although I probably stressed out all of my colleagues by dramatically leaving Zoom staff meeting. I was concerned that it could have been a seizure, but nope, it was another vasovagal reaction. I had no idea this was a thing in cats, lil PR is just very special.
