Bret and I had banana chocolate chip muffins for today’s baked goods. Yum!

My blog lost five people in the last few weeks. It got up to 2700 followers for a high, then dropped to 2695.
While I doubt the number of followers who read this daily or occasionally is that high – the stats feature usually shows circa 50 reads daily or fewer- I do appreciate those of you who do come around! I especially appreciate those of you who have time to comment…and do!
At age 14, Andy may be around for a few more years. I hope so. He seems to be in exceptional health for a senior cat, something I can’t say for myself. One way or another, I will try to keep posting as long as either of us is around. I hope you loyal readers find something of interest to keep you from being a dropout, too.

I will still be here to read about you and Andy, Doug. I hope the two of you have a good long run together. I just have to catch up now and then.
I appreciate your follows and comments!

I am still here!
14 might be up there for a cat and I am glad Andy is healthy. Tara will be 14 in a few months. God Willing.
Best wishes for Tara and Andy’s continuing good health!
Doug Thomas
I will not drop out. I care about both of you.
Cat people forever! Thanks!
Doug Thomas
Our huMom is feeling her age too but hopes to stick around for as long as you and Andy.
They bless us with so much joy! Best wishes for all of us.
Doug Thomas
Enjoy your blog. Andy antics are always “cat like” and like the horns
Thanks! I like sharing Andy with you!
Doug Thomas
I think new subscribers drop off more often than those who’ve been around for a while. I think they try us for a week and maybe find something they like better. The ones who stick around tend to stay.
That certainly holds true for you regular readers and comment writers!
Doug Thomas
Wednesday is a great day for you and Andy, Doug. Enjoy it.
I look forward to it, and Andy does, too!
Doug Thomas
Andy does not feel he is a Senior Cat. He is in the prime of his life. 🙂
His behavior suggests he’s in his prime!
Doug Thomas
Hang in there!!
That we do!
Doug Thomas
Stay with us, the three of you
I will as long as possible! Thanks!
Doug Thomas
I wouldn’t worry about the loss of five followers, Doug. One appalling thing about WordPress is the number of users who will subscribe to your blog or bomb it with “likes” in order to get you to follow them or at least look at their posts and leave a like. I’ve seen my follower rate drop as I don’t update, but also because I’m a lot more skeptical of all those likes and follows from people I have never seen before on WP. Anyway, I hope you and Andy continue to post your adventures here! I worry when you don’t show up in my feed, and wonder sometimes if I should “tap on your door” to see if you’re okay. (I suppose I could use another visit to Nebraska, but that would be presumptuous of me to actually bang on your door and scream “Are you okay?” Your neighbors would think I was nuts.) Take care, the both of you!
You’d be welcome as l9ng as you didn’t interrupt Andy and my naps! LOL! I try to schedule posts to go out at 12:03 pm, but sometimes don’t get my post done in time foe that. That’s probably the times it doesn’t show in t or feed.
Doug Thomas
we hope you two boys are wi9th us for a super long time… hugs to you
Me, too! Thanks!
Doug Thomas
Wishing Andy ongoing great health!
Thanks! I look forward to him living with me for a record time. No other cat has “lasted” as long of those I’ve had.
Doug Thomas
Ha! Andy’s keen glance will keep tabs on us all. I’ll be here unless my own dicey health gets much worse. Sending you and Andy purrs for good health, always.
Thanks! I can appreciate that health business.
