Late Fall 2017: Hangry Tanzi and Avocado lover Pema

The boys have been extra hungry as the temperatures have cooled and I guess this is pretty typical behavior for cats at this time of year. Tanzi continues to be unusually hungry and despite his medical tests saying he was negative for hyperthyroidism, we worry he actually may have it. He is constantly hungry and looking for food. We did switch him to a wet food diet and perhaps we just need to feed him more small meals throughout the day. Perhaps we'll need to talk to the vet again soon and figure this out. I worry about that hangry little guy!

A fuzzy photo, but a fun way to show a typical day with the cats. All three on my legs while I lay on the couch. Oh and Pema has this habit of resting his head on my hand while he sleeps.
 Poor Tanzi! All three cats cram into beds around the house, probably for warmth more than anything.
This reminds me of pictures of me sleeping on my mom when I was little! Shiva sleeping with his daddy.
 The three little buggers waiting for me to stop cleaning and play with them.
Pema's new favorite food is avocado. I first noticed his obsession when I left a shell on the counter to go out to the composter. When I returned to it, I found it was completely cleaned out. 

So the next time I went to eat one, I found Pema following me around and he was clearly interested in checking it out. I let him lick a little and he was obsessed! Shiva soon came over to join him and also loved the fruit. It can be bad for cats in larger amounts, so I limit how much they can eat. Essentially, they just lick a little and don't eat big chunks.
Taking pictures of my buddies with the DSLR.
 So pretty glowing in the sunlight!
Curious little Pema.
Love this shot of Pema!
