49 Inches

Yeah, we measured.


49 inches.


THAT is how high I jump when I jump from the kitchen counter to the parapet.  (See my June 5, 2012, blog entry if you're confoosed at this point.)

Actually?  It's 49-1/2 inches.  But MomKatt cautioned me about sounding too pedantic.  (This from HER.  She's the biggest pedant I know!  She fusses about misspellings on public BILLBOARDS and loses sleep over a misused apostrophe in "it's" versus "its'"!  And she's worried about ME sounding pedantic?  MOL)

ANYway ...


So ... 49.  Yeah, it's how I roll.  Let's retire that number, shall we?



PURRS!

    My peeps fuss over the whole laying and lying thing... and don't get them started on when to use 'me' versus 'I' and whatnot. MOUSES! It's enough to drive a cat crazy!

    Anywho... I think 49 inches is a lot and I also think that lots of people would round 49.5 up to 50. Fifty is even more!

    Remember how I told you yesterday that your blog post had inspired my peep to tell me 'bout the exploits of my aunties? Well, let's just say... I mentioned you in my post today.

      Nerissa, thank you for the shout-out about my blog! And I loved your story! I think we kinda write alike - or similarly, anyway. ;-) I like your style!

      As for the number - well, I don't like to pad/brag ... accuracy in all things!

      PURRS!

    49 inches! That is outstanding but you'll have to go some to beat this little ghetto cat. My jump from the cabinet to the top of the bookshelves is 51 inches although I hardly ever do that anymore. You are one stunning cat who's always alert and on the prowl. If you were on Twitter, they'd recruit you for #WLF.

      What is WLF?

      I'm content that we are nearly equals - we'd make QUITE a "super team", would we not?

      PURRS!

    I'm impressed by your leaping abilities, Selina! And around here, we do not call it "pedantic" - we call it "copy editing" (which is what my human has occasionally been known to do for money... and yes, she knows this sentence is not absolutely grammatically correct).

    I think that is one great leap for catkind!

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...
