Teifi

[PFVA]

After initially complaining about the closing of the balcony door due to the coldish weather Teifi discovers that with it closed it gets quite warm in the sun

[RedOktober]

Despite occasional tantrums, he's clearly settled into the role of lazy house cat very nicely

[PFVA]

He plays a little bit mostly in the evening, on less warm days he plays during the day but he does sleep a lot.

Here he was looking for his lost toy, which he had managed to place under the furniture and was trying to retrieve.


Note: and believe it or not i clean that rug every other day, and soon after i clean is all full of cat fur again.

The strong heat of 32C kept the balcony feeling like a hot oven. I was reading away in the room and Teifi sat quietly at the other end of the sofa looking like any kind of movement wasn't something he wished to do. Suddenly i heard a small noise outside, almost like a leaf falling but with a bit of gliding. At the same instant, Teifi open his eyes, looked at the ficus outside, jumped over the coffee table, actually he a kind of flew over it. In a second he was by the ficus jumping, throwing his paws in the air, and shaking the leaves.

Afraid for the health of the ficus, after all i know what the palm tree has suffered with Teifi's attention, i went to check.


Ow... i see



Unluckily for Teifi but luckily for the insect he was able to get high up enough that Teifi couldn't reach him. Teifi first circled the tree trying to see if he could reach it or shake the right branch enough for the insect to fall



Then he sat waiting, stalking.
About half an hour into it he must have felt hungry. After all, the flight, the jumping was a lot of exercise. Slowly Teifi headed to the back of the flat where he knows his food ball is kept. A short while later the insect flew away. When Teifi returned he checked the tree, saw the insect was gone and went to sleep.

At the end of the month Teifi had his annual checkup at the vet.

He is fine and no longer almost border line obese. Obese for a cat of his size is at 5Kg and last year and the year before he had 4.9Kg. He now has 4.3. Ideally he should not be over 4Kg, so he is still fat just not going obese.

He's looking well, we had Thomas weighed last time we were at the vets, 6.6kg which the vet said was fine for a cat of his size and he was fit and healthy

[PFVA]

yeah, he is looking nice.

I made a mistake up there. For him, 6Kg = obese and he was 5.9Kg. He is now 5.3Kg. Ideally he shouldn't be over 5Kg.

I think Thomas is a bigger cat. Teifi is medium small.

Bonbon, the upstairs recently adopted young female.
She is so fast running up and down the tree that i can't get her in focus




Teifi watching very attentively

He's looking well

and Marley (our part time cat) which we haven't seen for months has started visiting again

[PFVA]

That's good news. Neighbor's cat continues to spend a few hours a day in my balcony.

Hey PFVA, how's Teifi? Haven't seen photos for a few months, hope he's OK...!

By god Teifi looks contented there.

[PFVA]

He is fine, a bit on the heavy side.

Sleeps a lot but in the evenings plays with the upstairs cat.

I'll take a pic of him tomorrow.

Rain is not permitting him to be as happy as in those two pictures though.
