I haven't written about Shiva Lullaby for awhile and this video I took last week will serve as an update. She is, um...shall we say, a big girl. Her annual exam and shots are due in March, at which time she will be weighed. A ballpark guess is that Shiva must weigh about 17 pounds. Since she shares the same food bowls as Feather (who is only 6.5 pounds at age 15) and Willow it is difficult to adjust her diet. I do feed them mostly Science Diet Light. It is just that Shiva spends much more time at the food bowl than the others. Obviously, I will discuss the problem of her obesity with the vet because it can lead to all sorts of future problems that I want to avoid. She is so unique and extremely special, and we want her around for a long, long time.
In this clip she is in the same spot as she was when I took her sleeping-kitten-portrait (there is also a shot of her at one-year-old at the link). Our old heat exchanger recently gave way, requiring our purchase of a new furnace. It is more efficient than the old one, by far. The heated forced air coming out of the vent is powerful and as you can see it is a big hit with Shiva.....
