Shameless nepotism

Well, folks, family really IS more important than ethics so, in the interests of continuing to have MY blog written, I'm sharing my blog space with MomKatt.  Yes, she's started her own blog - talking about people *I* certainly don't know anything about.  Anyway, she's a big history buff and all, and you already know she does some writing (she calls herself a "writer" but, as I meowed to her, and as she knows, "thinking about writing ... isn't writing").  So I take FULL credit (though I suppose that's selfish of me) for getting her back to the keyboard again ...

ANYWAY ... here is her blog:

http://henryiithewritinglifeme.blogspot.com/

She calls it "Henry II, the Writing Life & Me".  Right now, her intention is to blither in it about dead English kings.  She even thinks she might write something substantial about one of them!  Here is a picture of him (this Henry II):






(whispers) I think he looks like a playing card, don't you?  MOL MOL!

Mainly, though, she told me she wants to use it to help her get "unrusty".

So ... peek in if you want to.  I personally think she should do more research about famous medieval cats ... but I suppose the primary sources are rather thin on the ground.

Anywhoo, I hope all my peeps have a happy Saturday/weekend!

PURRS!

    She's obsessed with him, I think. IMHO it's unhealthy. But she finds him fascinating - he's the person she's been wanting to write a novel about. She still hasn't decided WHAT she wants to do - but her blog is gonna be a way for her to "work it out" ... you know?

    You guys must know him,then? Since you live over there?

    PURRS!

    My human wants to get back to her own writing too... I may let her, as long as it does not interfere with my jobs for her.

    Why, hello sweet girl! I did not know you had started a blog of your own till I read Brian's blog today! I remember your story and I am soooo happy you found a furever home with such nice Humans. I completely agree that cat research would be a MUCH more interesting topic than stoopid stories about boring Humans. They are really so sadly self-absorbed, aren't they? 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

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...
