Wow, been a long time gone!

MEOWLO PEEPS!  Betcha thought I'd vanished, eh?

Nope - I'm BAAAAAACK!

In fact, here's me this morning, getting my nutrition in.


I was a little WILD THING this morning, but I had to stop to refuel, so MomKatt snapped a pic of me (it's one of the only times I'm still enough for her to take a good one with that crappy cell phone camera she's got!  MOL)  Don't you love the mouse-shaped pad our water bowl sits on?  And it's purple, too.  MomKatt's got a thing about purple ...

Let's see ... what's going on with me/us?  Well, things have settled down since Feisal's departure.  MomKatt's feeling better about helping him to the Bridge, and she & DadKatt are being treated to a completely topsy-turvy re-arranging of the hierarchy/pecking order (I'm very near the top now - inching ever closer).  I've endeavored, in my own unique and somewhat zany way, to distract them and make them laugh and, I'm happy to report, my margin of success has been quite good.  Even DadKatt, who didn't get much sleep last night past 1:30 because Peppers kept wanting in & out of the bedroom, was forced to laugh this morning as he sat, bleary-eyed & hunched over his bowl of mush (I'm told this is called "oatmeal" but I don't know any self-respecting cat that would TOUCH the stuff, it's all lumpy, ugh!).  I was attacking MomKatt's chair across the table from him, and defying gravity in that way that I have (MomKatt said I kinda looked like Earl the Dead Cat?  What gives?  Who's he and how long has he been dead?)  Anyway, she was referring to my body position, as I was lying flat on the chair with all four legs thrown out in an X-shape, holding on for dear life while she tipped the chair from one side to the other.  Must've been like being on a ship at sea - I didn't slip either!!  MOL MOL  It was fun - hey, MomKatt!  I wanna ride that ride again!

So, I'm SCIENCE KITTY!  Defying the laws of gravity!  Conducting experiments on how long a cat can hold onto a nice, textured dining room chair seat!  Soon, I'll be up there with Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer & Stephen Hawking with my discoveries - you just wait!  (They'll all want to read my academic paper on "Feline Astrophysics" - and I'll be happy to paw-tograph copies for all my followers here on my blog, of course.)

ANYWAY!  Lots to do!  Must fly!

PURRS!
Selina

PS - I *did* hear, and I don't go 'round spreadin' rumors, y'know, but they said it ... Mom&DadKatt were saying that Peppers was going to have to start sleeping upstairs starting tonight, that DadKatt couldn't take another night without sleep.  He's not going to like that.  He'll sing behind MomKatt's office door when they put him up there.  It's not gonna be pretty!

    What a fun ride! Selina the feline astrophysicist - we'll be looking for that in the journals. So who is you competition for top cat? Whisper it so s/he doesn't hear.

    Laura & Taffy:

    Humm ... well ... *looks around*

    There isn't any really! MOL I mean, when Feisal was here, I guess you could make a good argument that it was him because he was so unaccepting of me. My sisfur, Livia (the Blue Abyssinian), should be Alpha Female because, apparently, Aby females usually ARE in a mixed cat household but Livia's pretty mild-mannered and if I even cock my head at her & give her stink-eye, she RUNS! And, of course, then I CHASE her! Morticia is on a level of her own - she's MomKatt's "soul kitty" and, while I chase her, I know she's in a category separate from the rest of us, so that does not bother me much.

    So I guess the post is vacant?

    But not for long .......

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

Image
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...
