Practicing For Turkey Day - Wordless Wed.





OK so it's NOT "Wordless" Wed. here on my page just now.  This is me, at breakfast this morning w/Mom&DadKatt.  (MomKatt's reading the new book on Catherine the Great, as you can see.)

I'm "practicing" on my technique for my first Thanksgiving with my new furramily.  MomKatt started out with a Weight Watchers egg & cheese English muffin (you can see it on the plate, there) and several times, I reached out to pluck said muffin from the plate with one paw, nearly succeeding one time (I removed the top of the English muffin - DadKatt laughed and laughed)!  But MomKatt said, "No!"

(Those bite marks in that one pic aren't mine, but MomKatt's, I regret to say.  Still, it wasn't for lack of trying ... it smelled SO good and I love cheese!)

Then, since I spend breakfast with her these days, snuggled down on the table there right by where her left arm usually is, I think it's VERY rude that she reads during this time, when she SHOULD be petting me with her free hand!   (I'll allow her her right hand, so that she can pick up her b'fast, her coffee, etc.)  So I made my feelings about that book known - do you all think I was clear enough?  I thought putting BOTH paws on it, rather than just one, really emphasized my seriousness that there is a time & place for everything, including books.  :)  And that THIS wasn't the proper time OR place to be reading when she COULD be lavishing attention (and bits of cheese from said muffin) on ME!

THEN ... I found the cap that was on her water bottle ... and it got REALLY interesting after THAT!

Hey, we're having Honey Baked Ham for our T'giving and Morticia's going out of her mind!  She assures me it's the best thing since sliced ... well, ham!  We shall see - I'm looking forward to the leftovers.

Meanwhile, I hope ALL my peeps here have a healthy, safe and happy Thanksgiving, no matter WHAT you'll be eating!  I'm just thankful that I'm inside, eating goodies and safe & warm with my new furramily!  I think I'm going to REALLY love the holiday season!

PURRS!

    Hope you have a vvverrry Happy Thanksgiving, Selina! Stealing HAM off the pawrents plates is part of the fun. You're doing well to practice! Both pawrents should be paying more attention to you, giving you lots of cheese and egg, too.

    I'll be alone tomorrow. That woman will be going to the family of a friend. They have a number of rescue cats. I do hope that some leftovers come home with her. I hear they are having HAM and turkey both.

    Taffy and that woman

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...
