Regal Nimbus

This weekend I was visiting my family in Irvine and my sister Lara brought her beautiful, regal cat Nimbus along. Do you remember Nimbus from previous posts? Well . . . he used to be about double this size! (Please see previous posts.)

Anyway, you can see here he is sporting a kind o of Dr. Suess haircut but regal nonetheless. He has done splendid on his diet and looks much healthier (despite the weird haircut!). The odd haircut comes from a visit to the groomer where the groomer ended up having to do "the best they could" given the situation. I guess Nimbus put up quite a fuss. He ended up getting most of the top hair cut, the bottom (under the belly) remained long and the tail was half done. Lara had to hide her laughter from him when he first came out of the cat carrier.

Anyway, Nimbus was a great listener when we were listening to Jonathan's latest compositions. He sat with us quietly and moved his ears from side to side. I think it was his favorite moment.

It sure beat getting poked and prodded from the little munchkins (my other sisters kids!).
