Feline Friday Flashback: Counter Surfing Back in My Younger Days

Meows from Mudpie!

10 years ago we posted this photo, back when I easily jumped up and down off the kitchen counter. (I was allowed! Mommy has no problem with kitties on food prep surfaces.)

I haven't been up there in a looooooong time. I don't do any jumping at all anymore. The other day Mommy was in the kitchen and heard me meowing mournfully from another part of the house. She quickly went looking for me and found me in the bathroom, looking up at the window. I could smell the fresh air coming in but I know it's too high for me to jump, so I was calling for help. I used to fly through the house and into that window without a second thought! I proceeded to take a nap in the window while Mommy sat on the edge of the bathtub waiting to help me back down. She waits on me hand and foot!

I'm even hesitant to jump up on the bed now. Mommy tries to always help me. She's put an ottoman at the foot of the bed for me but so far I haven't used it. I'm not showing any other signs of arthritis, it's my weight that's holding me down. 



Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is:

Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (They may be silly or cute).
