Leaps and bounds

I can't tell if my cat is losing weight -- well I suppose if she has lost more than 1/2 lb I could weigh myself with and without her -- but she does seem more active.

I hadn't noticed that she was slowing down a little, but now I am noticing her in places she hasn't been for a long time: perched on the back of the chair looking out the window in the living room; on the kitchen counters (no I don't really want her there -- but she does like to perch on the knee wall and survey dinner preparations); on my bedroom dresser. I will know she is really feeling young again when I find her on the windowsill in my bedroom. This is a difficult jump, and it has definitely been a while since she tried it....
