MomKatt Monday!

I'd like to introduce you to a very special purr-son in my life.  Without further ado ... me and MomKatt!

No, I'm not attempting to get away!  MOL  That's just how I usually end up when I'm held.  I don't like being held for TOO long; I don't mind it, but more than a couple of minutes and I get all wiggly!  MOL 

DadKatt was trying to get the best shot possible & he didn't tell MomKatt when to smile in the first two so this was the third pic!


Anyway, I love her very much & she guards me from Boudicca!  (Plus does lots of other things.)


So I'm declaring today NATIONAL MOMKATT DAY!  Kitties everywhere, go nuzzle your MomKatts & let 'em know you love 'em!

PURRS!

Selina

PS - MomKatt update:  A query she sent last month to History magazine concerning an article proposal got accepted today!  It's her first major magazine acceptance since she stopped writing for Teddy Bear & Friends magazine in 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She'll be writing a piece on the Civil War Campaign Medal issued as an adjunct to the coveted Medal of Honor! 


I'm furry purr-oud of her!

      Hi Connie, MomKatt Laura here!

      I'd written the query Jan. 9, and had not heard back from the editor, so this morning, I forwarded the original query as a follow-up inquiry and not 10 min. later, there was a reply from him in my "In" box, accepting the proposal!!!

      I was shocked! But in a good way!

      Laura

    Concats to MomKatt for getting her article accepted. We think National MomKatt Day is a good idea.

    I am impressed that you stayed still - well, still enough - for three photos! I don't think I've ever made over two. My human says concatulations to your human - she is a writer too (she has a story coming out in April in the 2012 edition of Kittens USA), and she knows what an accomplishment it is to get a query accepted!

      Thank you! MomKatt is trying to decide what she wants to do with her writing. It's a long story, but she's in a "real" job she would rather trade for the writing life & is trying to get up nerve enough to make the leap!

    Target is the cuddler in our family and Guido is also quite sweet (esp at 3AM!)

    Concats to your mummy! What fun to enter a different genre. We write fulltime for newspapers and magazines. It's nice to have a job you love, isn't it?

      Well, MomKatt has a "real" job that has nothing to do with writing, but she's trying to get to the point where that might just change ... She loves being creative, it brings her much more personal satisfaction than the "real" slog ... um, job.

    I'm a wiggler, too, Selina! Hooray for MomKatts effurywhere.

    HUGE, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC! Congratulations, MomKatt Laura! We just know that more great things are on the horizon for you. Happy Lincoln's Birthday!

    Now here's a shocker. You look enough like my sister to be her twin! Did I mention that I started on clarinet, then a year later, went on to alto sax and later added the tenor?

      Ooo MomKatt played piano for 13 years (classically trained) then did clarinet & alto sax in high school!

      That IS very coincidental!!

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...
