HAPPY (LATE) NEW YEAR!

Mom&DadKatt were SLACKERS yesterday & I didn't get here to wish everyone a Happy New Year on New Year's Day ... so, a day late, a dollar short.  (What's a dollar anyway?  This is one of MomKatt's silly sayings.)

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my blogging furriends & their hoomans!

You can see what I spent MY New Year's Day doing ... MOL!


In other news ...


Morticia had to go to the V E T today.  MomKatt snuck her "well kitty" exam in on her.  She wasn't *really* due 'til later this month, but MomKatt wanted to use the last of her in-laws' Xmas money to get 'Ticia's exam taken care of.


The good news?  A clean bill of health.  :)  The bad news?  An ear cleaning!  Boy, does my sisfur HATE ear cleanings.  Her right ear is a bit prone to ... *whispers confidentially* ... "WAXY BUILD-UP" ... so apparently they gave her a RIGHT thorough cleaning.  


But she's not mad at MomKatt.  In fact, she got to meet Dr. Brigham, the "new" vet that helped so much during Feisal's last days back in August.  MomKatt hadn't been to the vet since that day and she only realized it on her way there this morning.


Now all 'Ticia has to have is a teeth-cleaning next month.  I heard her mutter, "I hope it's LATE next month ..." before she went into MomKatt's clothes closet.  MOL  (I think it's gonna be.)

HEY!  Ya'll be careful out there ... 


PURRS!

PS - What's up with this weather change?  It's 34 deg. in NC at 4 PM!  I'm snugging w/MomKatt!  Brrr!  She she has one more day off before she has to go back to The Gulag.  You can bet I'm gonna be holdin' her down tomorrow as much as possible!

    Happy New Year to you and your family. We don't like the vet either. About 3 months ago I went deaf and mum took me to the vet. My ears looked clean but deep down there was a large lump of solid wax. Mum cleaned my ear every day for a month and it gradually dissolved and now I can hear again. She cleans my ears once a month now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    Its been warm here for winter, but the mom is still complaining. Looks like you had a nicer New Year's day than we did. We all had flea baths! Maybe 2012 won't be that good!

    Happy new year to you and your family, Selina! My human is still sleepwalking through 2012 - I don't think she has fully recovered from the weekend parties!

    Hi Slinky! You know the right way to spend the day. It was 20 and snowy here in Michigan at 4pm. We had a wonderful December - no snow, temps in the 40s. You wouldn't know that now . . . Glad 'Ticia had a good check up. Taffy has to have ears cleaned about once a week. Those big air scoops just catch everything.

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...
