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...
So what's up?
ReplyDeleteMeowlo Brian!
ReplyDeleteThis is me, taking a quick bath this morning! MomKatt was trying SO hard to snap a pic of me with her slow cell phone camera before she left for work and I just would NOT stay still, of course. She got 3 pics and this was the best one of the lot!
The only news is that I've backtracked in my lap-sitting. I won't come downstairs again! MomKatt is frustrated - DadKatt even went upstairs last night to BRING me down to put in her lap but The Queen of Wiggle ... wiggled out of his arms!
MomKatt thinks I wish I was an only kitty!!
PURRS!
Selina
PS - But the pic shows my little White Tummy Tuft. See it? *purrs proudly*
ReplyDeleteSelina - please accept cuddles from MomKatt and DadKatt - we're sure you will love them and want more!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Hi Hannah & Lucy:
ReplyDeleteOh I love Mom&DadKatt cuddles ... but ... it's that Feisal ... and those other kitties ... I just do NOT like competition! I want their full attention! And as for being held, they can do that for about 5 sec. before I get all wriggly ... :) :)
Selina
WE understand perfectly Selina. We don't like cuddles either. Some of us barely let the Mom pick us up. That is a good picture of you. It is so hard to get good pictures of black kitties. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHope you will become more cuddly in time, Selina. It is a good way to keep warm and snuggly, especially in winter.
ReplyDeleteOh it's not the cuddles! I love being in MomKatt's lap ... but I have to come downstairs and that Feisal is there ... *sigh* What's a girlkatt to do??
ReplyDeleteHi ya, Selina!! We're sure you'll come to appreciate having siblings. They can give you baths so you don't have to!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you stayed still enough for that one shot, Selina!
ReplyDeleteOh, honey. Imagine that Feisal is admiring your sweet furs and thinks that you are the Queen. Take the attention as your due. He just has to act that way 'cause he is a mancat (and remember he's not feeling well).

I am glad that Feisal is feeling better. I know all about bothersome brothers at times. I don't much care for Mom's lap, either, though I have tried it out once or twice.
