Saturday morning cat watch

A very early (for me, at least) morning today due to a trip to the vet. My cat girl Nasdaq (the black cat) is sick and has an early appointment to get checked out. A few months ago she had a nasty cough but it was resolved with some medication but unfortunately the cough/wheeze is back which might be a sign of asthma. The vet told us before that asthma would be much trickier to treat because cats detest having anything over their face. She's already pretty good at avoiding any pills but we'll know more later.

Meanwhile, some cat friends from my favorite beach spot, Rock Sea in Nuweiba, Sinai. Rock Sea had the nicest bunch of lovable cats who were always happy to greet you and they love you even more if you order the fresh fish. The mostly black cat in the photo has a big slash on her ear from one of her low tide fishing expeditions at sun down. She thought she had the fish of a life time but ended up wrestling with a sea eel who bit her and tried dragging her into the Sea of Aqaba.
