What the meow?!?!

OMC ... Look ... just LOOK!

 No, not at how shiny my fur is in this picture - look CLOSER!  Do you SEE them?!?!?

 Those ... WHITE HAIRS?!?!

 MomKatt took this picture of me yesterday, then she noticed & said, "Selina, look at all your white hairs!"

 I am MOST distressed.  WHERE in the name of Morris did they come from?  Stress?  I can't blame Boudicca, she's out of my world now & in the basement where she belongs.

 Oh no ... a terrible thought ... could it be ...

 Is THIS the punishment I get for "outing" Morticia the other day about her two white whiskers?  As Nerissa says, MOUSIES!  Heck, I was only picking on her about it ... I didn't mean anything by it ...

 How has she had a paw in this?  Gosh, 'Ticia ... I'm really sorry ... 
Ack!  Don't LOOK at me like that ...


Oh boy am I in trouble ...

 *assumes casual pose under the dining room table, humming .... *

 *resumes agony*  OH NOES!  WHITE HAIRS!!!!!  Maybe I'd better look for a parlor that does DYE JOBS on cats!!!  Do Paul Mitchell salons "do" cats?????

    Uh-oh. Can we talk? I am a formerly ALL-BLACK boy, but lately, well...laytely I am noticing that some parts of me are not so black as they used to be. My underarm furs are long and soft as efur, but they are (quelle horreur!) most definitely not black-black anymore. They are (dare I say it? No, I dare not) the G-word. I'm only 8!!! How can this be???

      Well, MomKatt says that DadKatt has a "Stewart Granger thing" going on with his "G"-hairs on either side of his temples. She says he's going to look "distinguished". Perhaps you could research this person & use that as an excuse. Apparently he was quite the handsome movie actor ...

      As for me, I prefer men w/salt & pepper fur ... ;-)

      PURRS!

    Selina, are you sure they were not there before? Sometimes black kitties have a few stray white hairs.

      Yes, definitely not! MomKatt concurs! As much as she pets me and as much as I lay on her lap at night, she'd have seen this!

      Maybe I'm channeling Elsa Lancaster ....

    We don't have this problem Selina - may be your Mom can get you some black touch up to cover the odd white whisker.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

      You guys have heard of "White Out", right? (That liquid correction stuff?) Maybe there's "Black Out" - if not, purrr-haps I could invent some ...

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...
