SHOO LACES!

Have any of the rest of ya'll discovered hooman things called "Shoo laces"?  If you haven't, you NEED to.  Like, now.  OK?  S'risly.  They are THE most fun things EVER.

Like this morning?  MomKatt was sitting eating her breakfast and NOT paying attention to me (as if a silly old book by some guy named Michael Shermer was more interesting than ME?  NOT!) so ... I grabbed her ankles w/both paws & set about nomming and pulling these "shoo laces" on her tennis shoes. 

"Selina, stop it!" she said, trying to shoo me away with her hand.  Yeah, like THAT'S gonna work!  NOT!  "Will you get AWAY from my damn feet, you crazy kitten!" she protested. 

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

I dug in w/my claws and chewed and batted and flipped the laces even harder!  The ends have these great plastic tips that you can really use your back teeth on - plaque cleaners, I call 'em!

I paused in my sport for a couple of seconds, in time to see her look at DadKatt and hear her sigh.  "Children!" she said.  What?  WHAT?  I mean ... the coolest toys EVER and she doesn't want me to play with them?  Yeah, OK, I kinda scratched her calves but ... well you can't make an omelet w/out breaking eggs, right?? 

And ... well ... SHOO LACES!  Get some of your very own ... NOW!  Before your hooman starts wearing loafers.

PURRS!
Selina

  

PS - This is me, tellin' ya to GET SOME SHOO LACES!

    We are so delighted you had such fun with MomKhat - it does them good to let the kitten out of themselves now and again. We think you should encourage more lace playing Selina - it will make you both fitter.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

    OMC! I didn't know you had a BLOG! I remember when Brian featured you on his. Love that line about "You can't make an omelet w/o breaking an egg." A classic.

    Hi Cathy! Welcome to my blog! Yes, here I am! MOL And I'm doing just fine. I love my new home and my new hoomans.

    Random Felines - I'm one ahead of you, I've already done that to DadKatt! He just ended up laughing at me & trying to move his feet! It was useless, of course!

    I loved your comment about eggs and omelets, Selina! Around here, Binga is the shoelace queen - she has never met a shoelace she does not want to attack and kill!

    Sigh! That woman doesn't have many shoos with shoo laces. I think she's holding out. Maybe they're all hidden somewhere. I need to go on a shoo lace hunt. Glad you all are having such fun with them.

    Taffy and that woman

    Yours in admiration,

    Meowlo, Dash Kitten!

    I just subscribed to your blog! You are awesome! And I AM fierce, that's true, especially about SHOO LACES!

    But I spared MomKatt's laces this morning - besides, she was doing too much moving around for me to catch them ... so I feigned disinterest! MOL

    Selina the subtle

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...
