Day 149: Trying to get a picture of a running cat swatting a bouncy ball in low light simply wasn't going to work, but Skunk was so enjoying having her mama's undivided attention for some romping play that I finally just put the camera down. It occurred to me that her interest in bouncy balls has waned since she lost her hearing. Now I find that I need to bounce it in her line of sight in order to get her to chase it.
Skunk is no spring chicken. She's coming up on her tenth birthday and has arthritis in her hips and back. Today, she forgot about the aches and pains of age for a bit to be a kitten again, and then laid down for a nap where she could keep an eye on that bouncy ball just in case it decided to bounce off somewhere without her.
Skunk is a beautiful cat and certainly doesn't look 10 years old.
