All I want for Christmas is a Taller Step Stool


West Branch State Park, OH, June 2026

Cleo is a “little” over the ideal weight for her size, according to the vet. According to a friend of ours, she is a little “Chonk”. According to Cleo, she barely eats at all.

Due to this, she is on a kitty diet that is not making much of an impact. Part of the problem is that she has a feeder to keep Mackie out of her diet food. Mackie’s food is out in the open to encourage him to eat his prescription food. Unfortunately, Cleo thinks her food is cat-broccoli and Mackie’s food is cat-candy. When she goes to MacKie’s bowl, we will tell her that it is the wrong bowl, and she will slink over to her bowl. When we are gone, we are pretty sure that she has a party in his food bowl and rolls around in kibble.

This morning, Kate put Mackie’s food bowl on the mantle to keep it away from Cleo. We have not fully cleaned up from moving, so we left out a small cooler.

In the last picture, you can see her far paw coming back down, but we missed the picture of her paw on the edge of the mantle.
