• makes weird noises
• shows butthole
• eats food from a dish
• frequently contorts into weird positions to groom herself with her tongue
• ignores the nice toy you bought her for weeks but then suddenly starts doing nothing but playing with it
• chews on random stuff
• sometimes lets you pet her but sometimes tries to lightly bite your fingers

She finally showed up. Lilo ate some dry food, then some wet food, not sure how wet it was. It's probably pretty cold. It's 48 F° and low tonight of 36 F°. It gets cold fast. I'm glad she got to eat peacefully. I should be expecting Momo around 4 pm. We shall see.

I didn't post enough pictures of the cats, I think, before Kei passed. She did, unfortunately, today, because Kei had a bad heart and nobody knew about it, so when she went under anesthesia for her spay she fell asleep and never woke up.

I only had Kei for a few months and I wish I had gotten to spend more time with her. She was very curious, playful, energetic, and affectionate. She loved Yuri with her whole heart and Yuri loved her back. I loved both of them and I like to think that I gave Kei as good of a life as she could have asked for before she went.

Yuri is still here with me, and the two of us will get on as best we can. I wrote this maybe two hours after I got the news, an hour after I picked up Yuri and then cleaned my bathroom to distract myself. I'm not goign to edit this, I'm going to just put it here as testament to what I'm feeling right now, which is "bad."

I dunno. Podcast will go up tomorrow, Yuri will keep trying to lick her incision, I'm sure I'll wake up with a cat purring by me at some point in the morning. Life will go on, but I won't forget about the little calico with the star-stained eye.
