Here it is, hopefully without boring you too much. Luna is doing great, turning into a really sweet and fun kitty with lots of energy. She plays with anything and everything&#8211;I&#8217;m missing a sock again today&#8211;until she&#8217;s completely exhausted and then she crawls up onto my lap (or sometimes into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpHnytShS4b\/?taken-by=lieslgibson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trash basket<\/a>) for a nap. Puck, however is still struggling. We&#8217;re headed back to the vet this afternoon for a sonogram to see if something inside him isn&#8217;t quite right. He&#8217;s still vomiting pretty much anything he manages to get down, and he&#8217;s not growing as fast as his sister. So we&#8217;re worried. And I&#8217;m exhausted from cooking special bland diets for him and holding him all the time. He&#8217;s napping inside my jean jacket, which I&#8217;m wearing, as I type this. But he&#8217;s an absolute sweetheart and a total lap cat. And we&#8217;re hopeful that he&#8217;s going to be OK.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-67316\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1-760x569.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1-760x569.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1-500x374.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1-768x575.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cats-1-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting to try something similar to this since we released the <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/lisette-for-butterick-B6598-sewing-pattern.html\">Lisette for Butterick B6598<\/a> pattern.
