No Luck ....

Meowlo, Peeps.

Yes, I'm a bit down today.  We thought, MomKatt & I, that we might have some good news to report on the Boudicca Situation today but ... alas. 

No.

Uncle Bill suggested Wed. night during a phone conversation that MomKatt try talking to the lady that was thinking about adopting Gomez (the one that wanted a lap kitty).  She agreed that "nothing beats a try but a failure" and he gave her the lady's name & contact info.  She called her that night, they talked, she sounded interested and MomKatt Emailed her a WHOLE bunch of stuff on Boudicca yesterday, including the latest pics of her (included here).

She called back last night to tell MomKatt we were "too far away".

So we're all a bit down around here ...  This has been the only remote, let alone somewhat interested, "nibble" we've gotten during the entire time Mom&DadKatt have been attempting to find Boudicca a furever home and they're mighty discouraged at this point.  MomKatt says she's just simply running out of ideas.

WHERE is the special someone that wants a loving lap kitty?  And WHEN do I stop having to worry about turning a corner to find her STARING at me, then CHASING me?!  I'm really being a patient & gracious kitty, but this being "stranded" on the kitchen counter when she's in the living room is getting a bit old.


At least I have Pink Bed.

Well, maybe something will change soon.  In the meantime, ya'll have a good weekend.

Sad purrs,
Selina

PS - And, until Boudicca finds a home, MomKatt can't even entertain the idea of adopting Gomez.   :(

    I wish I could figure out something to help other than posting on social networks. Sometimes it is really hard finding homes for kitties who are grown up and not cute kittens (actually, sometimes it is not even that easy finding good homes for kittens!).

    Can you believe that TW offered ME as a trade???? Gasp. I sorry to disappoint TW but she's NOT getting a lap cat for quite a few years. Seriously, have you tried axing your vet? They might be able to help you.

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...
