Friday Update

MomKatt Laura here once more ...

Got Selina home late yesterday afternoon and she was all about wiggling & rolling over in the carrier in the passenger's seat, trying to get my attention to tell me how anxious she was to get home!  I told her she needed to stop being cute while I was driving, because she was a distraction worse, and far more appealing, than a cell phone!  LOL

Seriously, if you just watched her - both yesterday and today - you wouldn't know anything was wrong with her.  She's just as lively as usual, this morning demanding Pink Teaser and whapping him for all she was worth - chasing him HARD (and I mean HARD - this Olympic "Bolt" fellow's got nothing on my Selina for speed) - and meowing at me to "play more, MomKatt, play more"!

When I let her out of the carrier last night, she made a beeline for one of the litterboxes.  It was hard to tell if she'd peed this morning (one of the drawbacks to a multi-cat household, I'm thinking) but I'm just trying to monitor as closely as I can both her peeing AND pooping (does anyone want my fabulous job here?  LOL) so I can keep up with how she is doing on both fronts.

THANK YOU to everyone for your good wishes, thoughts & concern - once again, this is the nicest community of folks, and Gary & I & Selina all appreciate your stopping by & keeping up with her & us.

We have two Catster friends coming to visit this weekend from the Washington, DC/Alexandria, VA area, so it's going to be a weekend full of kitty lovins, and smooch-fests and who knows what all!  (Plus, we're taking a trip tomorrow to Blind Cat Rescue in St. Paul, NC, to go to their Open House.)  Pictures WILL be taken!  So stay tuned next week for postings ... 

Meanwhile, as Selina would meow, "Peace out, ya'll!"

PURRS!
Selina & MomKatt Laura

    Popped by from the cat blogosphere!
    Oh MY! Selina, you do look a lot like Scooter, the cat who agrees to live with me. I hope you're not insulted, given that he is a mancat. Do you like the older man? He is quite a senior. I bet if you two linked up you would be great friends. He had a sister, Figs, who had just one eye, so he would be quite used to that. He is sending you some purrs. He has seen the vet himself this week, so you have his sympathy.

    Purrrrrss to Selina. We hope you are feeling better soonest.

    Dad knows all about watching kitties pee. FWIW, if there is trouble, the kittie with problems is usually scrunched in there a lot, which makes it easier to notice.

    Oh, Cat! Miss a couple of days on the innerwebs and see what happens. We send purrs for you to be 100% OK, Selina. And purrs to the 'rents that the g'rents feel much better, too. Srsly, girl, you have to tell the 'rents loud and clear when you are not up to snuff. You was lucky that MomKatt was keeping track of your (ahem) comings and goings. Purrs.

    Selina, I am glad you are home and feeling better! One time, I kept having potty problems and it turned out I had bladder stones!

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!

Image
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...
