LAPS! Rediscovered! And my brofur ...

Well.  Good news on the lap front - at least we think it is.  I came downstairs, after MUCH coaxing from MomKatt, last night to recline in her lap for nearly 2 hours before she & DadKatt went to bed!  My nemesis, Feisal, behaved himself for a change and stayed in his Siamese Rescue "Millie" bed and did not interfere with me, even when I crossed from the sofa to hop onto the table in front of the window & check out the birds.

But, in leaping from the cat tree to MomKatt's lap/sofa initially, something weird happened and I fell on top of Morticia, who was in the heated cat bed next to the easy chair in between the tree & the sofa!  I was really sorry - I didn't mean to scare the fur off of her. 

It just wasn't her night - later on, Peppers dislodged her from the same window seat that I had been on watching the birds eat Oliver's dry food from his bowl on the porch.  Poor Morticia ... 

MomKatt hopes to get me back into her lap tonight while she reads.

Feisal *is* pepping up, thank you ALL for your concern and thoughts about him.  It's the Pred.  It really keeps him going, we think.  I'm just glad *I* don't have to have that stuff rubbed in *my* ear every day!  Ick!

Oh, by the way, I drug my rabbit-fur-covered (no worries, it's fake) giant purple mouse into my water bowl yesterday - and DROWNDED him!  Just to show 'im!


PURRS!

    Glad Feisal is doing a little better. That Pred is amazing stuff. It has kept our old kitty alive for 5 years now.
    Good job Selina but the purple mouse in the water bowl. And also, good job sitting in Mom's lap. You have come a long ways. Take care.

    Hi Marg! Thank you! I think I have, too! Especially since April, when I arrived here! (MomKatt wonders if she'll find the mouse drownded again tonight when she comes home. Hee hee! I ain't sayin'!)

    We are pleased to hear Feisal is doing better. Sending more healing purrs his way.

    Playing with mousies is so much fun, glad you discovered the joy of drowning them.

    Oh, laps are divine! We don't drown our mousies; p'raps we'll have to try it out tonight. More often they disappear under the dryer to marinate in the dust.
    HURRAH for Feisal doing better, we'll keep him on our purr list.

    Selina, I haf nefur drowned a mousie! Maybe I should try it! Glad you are getting lots of lap time -- I think lap time is the best! I'm glad to hear Feisal is feeling better and I hope he continues to improve.

    You mean your human sat still for TWO HOURS!?! Can she give lessons to my human? My human is as fidgety as you seem to be, Selina, and I could not nap on her lap even if I wanted to!

    P.S. Thanks for letting us know Feisal is better!

    We're so glad Feisal is starting to feel better. And that you got to sit on your human's lap for two whole hours! Laps are the best, aren't they?

    MOL Sparkle! At night she's usually pretty tired from her job and her run (she runs after work these days 'cause it's too hot at mid-day to do so). So, yeah, she's pretty willing to curl up on the couch, esp. if I want lap time!

    And thanks to everypurr for their good wishes for Feisal. He continues to ... what's the word ... he keeps on keeping on, does that make sense? He's not been TOO pesky the last couple of days but we ALL know THAT could change in a New York minute. *sigh*

A Journey - Selina Carter, April 9, 2011 - March 6, 2024

Dearest Furrends: My scribe is typing this entry with a truly heavy heart. Yesterday, I made my journey to The Rainbow Bridge. My doctor, Dr. Daniel, told me in November 2023 that I had something called a "mass" that she could feel when she did something she called "palpating" my underside during my annual well-kitty exam. It didn't hurt - it just felt like she was squeezing me a little. She told Mom&DadKatt, who were there with me (of course) and suggested several options. They decided to start giving me a medicine called prednisone (I called it YUCK ). Dr. D said it would really boost my appetite. Boy, did it! See, MomKatt noticed I'd lost a fair amount of weight in a couple of months prior and she knew something was wrong. I've always been a big (not fat, just big) beautiful one-eyed thang, as y'all know, so this wasn't normal. It's that MomKatt radar - I know all of y'alls pawrents have it. That's why she scooped me up that da...

Bag Day!

Meowlo, Peeps! Today is Bag Day and Keaton is demonstrating some of the many different things he can do with an ordinary paper sack from the grocery store. He claims it's environmentally responsible, as he's upcycling a natural resource. Do you buy that? Whatever ...  Anyway, here he is.  As you might notice, he enjoys a variety of bags from different places (i.e. he has no taste and will take ANYTHING that comes along.)  This one is from Lowe's Foods grocery store.    This one is from Jersey Mike's subs. We all loved that one because it smelled soooooo good but he wormed his under it and none of us could get in.       We never got into it and in the end, it's cool because MomKatt got a hilarious photo out of it! (We have NO clue what he's doing in there.  Doesn't he have a great butt, though??)   Uh oh ... bag change! He's got the one MomKatt stole from Ed McKay's used bookstore!    At least he can't tear that one up ... ...

Report From Sick Bay

Howdy peeps, First off, THANK YOU so much for everyone's concern, thoughts, messages.  It means so much to me & MomKatt (and DadKatt).  A short update. As you read in the previous entry, Dr. Lofgren said I had a "fever of unknown origin" (and that I also weigh a nice, solid 11 lbs.).  He said, in a cat as young as I, these usually are caused by just something I've picked up.  He noted that I hadn't lost any weight, and that my gums were nice & pink, so those were good signs.   He gave me antibiotics in a shot and Sub-Q fluids yesterday and, when MomKatt picked me up, my temp was down from 104.2 to 103.  (He told her normal was 100-102.)  I ate my gooshy food once I got home and spent all night on MomKatt's lap on the sofa - I WENT to the sofa MYSELF this time, she didn't have to carry me into the living room.  *I* knew where I wanted to snuggle! This morning, she got up & found me on the sofa, basically right where she l...
