Peek-A-Boo!

I SEE YOU!!


And you ... and you ... and ESPECIALLY YOU, Pink Bed!  So you better WATCH IT or I'll SWOOP down on top of you & give you a good beating like I did the other day!


You were warned, Pink Bed ...


Oh HAI, gentle readers!  Well, let me just explain this picture.  I am sitting atop MomKatt's L-shaped kitchen cabinets!  Feisal used to get up here ALL the time, jumping from the countertop to the top of the 'fridge, then jumping from the top of the 'fridge to the top of the cabinets.  Then, he'd proceed to "walk the parapet", as MomKatt called it, ending up on the far end of the L, where I am in this photo.


Only *I*, "Selina the Great", have gone him one better.  Whereas HE had to get there using the refrigerator as a "stepping stone", so to speak, *I* (as our house's resident "LONG CAT") am able to position myself on the counter at the join of the L and LEAP up onto the "parapet" FROM THE COUNTERTOP!

I don't need no stinkin' 'fridge .... 

I AM SELINA THE MIGHTY, able to leap upon high cabinet tops with a single bound!  Superman, eat your heart out!

PURRS!
Selina

    Selina, you just reminded my peep of something my aunties used to do at their old house, long before I was even born. She's gonna tell me all 'bout it so that I can tell you and everyone else. What fun! Thanks so very, VERY MUCH!!!
    ps. You must be an exceptionally good jumper to manage that maneuver. WOW! I'm impressed.

      Ooo! I can't wait to hear the story!

      And, well, yes, it DOES help to be, as I said, my house's "resident LONG CAT"! MOL! Thus far, my grasp does not exceed my reach! (Or have I gotten that backwards?)

      PURRS!

    Selina do you have jumping beans in your diet? We thought we could do well but we may have to get you to email us your technique for the high jump.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

      TY Brian! I'm trying to work on my ascent, though. I'm still hitting the cabinet door with my back feet (so that's how MomKatt hears that I've leaped)!

      PURRS!

      TY! Hey, I think all us kitties could have a jumping contest on our blogs - see who's the highest jumper. What do you think?

    You are doing very well to be able to get up there especially with only one eye. We like your blog background - most unusual.

      Yes, that amazes MomKatt too. You wouldn't BELIEVE what I see with this eye! MOL

      And TY for the compliment on the background. I picked it out myself. :)

      Thank you guys! I get lots of practice! Now, though, MomKatt knows when I've leaped 'cause she can hear my back feet banging on the cabinet door! MOL

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...
