One Eye on the Future

Mornin' Pe eps! This is my brofur, Peppers: His 6th birthday is today, so I thought today's blog should celebrate him.  Happy Birthday, Peppers! Here he is, in our dining room in his big cat bed, enjoying a leisurely bathing session. This is him when MomKatt first met him, at the local PetSmart. ( T hat's her arm in the first piccy, there .)   As you can see, he's a big guy (22 lbs) and the shelter folks had him in their largest cage!  He wasn't too thrilled about it, MomKatt tells me. But she instantly felt sorry for him and attracted to his unde niable handsome manliness .   It was obvious to her that he was very unhappy in the cage, and that he did not understand why he was there.  When she petted him at first, he'd bite her a little, and exhibit some "restlessness" that threw up warning bells in her head.  She told DadKatt that she felt, if he was in that cage much longer, he'd go on biting and becoming more frustrated

Morning peep s! You know something?  I'm one lucky kitty.   I mean, just LOOK at this picture.  I'm shiny & healthy & my furs look GORGEOUS.  My uniocular viewer is clear and pretty and always wide open, looking for anything I can find (and any mayhem I can raise!)  I have a fiefdom kin gdo m over which I pr eside (and here I am over the weekend, surveying the pawren ts' bedroom portion and finding it acceptable).   I even have ART!  (See those kitties behind me ? Yes, I'm one cultured feline. ) On top of that, I have the best Mom&DadKatt on earth.  T hey love me t o pieces , and MomKatt is my hooman chew-toy an d dispenser of laptime, lovins, nib bles, and, yes, I suppose I can coun t visits to the "V E T" as a positive 'cause that means she wants to keep me healthy and happy, so she dispenses that, too ... not to mention lots of play time.  And did I mention I can chew on her? So I think I'll just spend some time today surve

This is my cousin, And ria, whom I just met this weekend.  She was coming to meet Boudicca but, afte r meeting me ... well, what can I say?  Just look at how she's looking at me - she thinks I'm wonderpurr!  And you know what ?  She's right!

Hi all, Our Aby furriend, Jacoby, posted last night about an Aby in need in Greensbo ro, NC, near where we live!  This Aby, whose name was Louis, need ed a new h ome because his owner had to move in with family and poor Louis was having to deal with a bad (for an A by) situation (see link above for more det ails on that) . M omKatt saw the post in her Email this morning when she got to work and immediately responded!  Even if we couldn't adopt Louis (and trust me:  MomKatt would've worked DadKatt over with a 2X4 to make *that* happen!  MOL), her thoug h t as she dialed the phone was that we could at least foster him in her upstairs office, where there wer e no dogs like the one he was having to contend with where he was, and where it would be quiet. So s he spoke wi th Louis' owner and it t urn ed out that Louis wa s back with his breeder and, as of last night, sleeping with the breeder's daughter!  So all is, apparently, well that e nds well (though MomK

Hi peeps! I 've discovered a new, fascinating play area in my house - want to see? I accompany my MomKatt there every morning before she goes to work, so after v iewing my antics there the other day, she decided to take her iPhone with her & snap some pics of me having fun with ... BAFF TIME! Starting out here ... humm ... what's this?  My, Pink Bed has gotten big, hasn't he?  What's in here, anyway? Seems innocent enough ...   Here I am - INSIDE! Wow, MomKatt!  Things look really different from here! Me, from another purr-spective: Well, so m u ch for ' splor in' ... MomKatt says sometimes I'll be able to catch a bug or two while I 'm up here.  Guess I need to be watchful, eh? Meanwhile, this giant-sized Pink Bed is nifty to han g out on!  I'm Monorail Kitty! Ya'll have a pawsome Thursday! PURRZ! Selina

Morning, peeps! Do you all remember my cousin, Gomez?  The black male kitty that my Uncle Bill was feeding at the dumpster where I used to live?  If you do, you'll remember that he brought him to the vet to get neutered after man aging to socialize him and get him to come to him, eat from his hand, etc., like he did with me when I was a " country c lub dumpster kitty". Well the good news is ... Gomez has been adopted! MomKatt spoke with Uncle Bill last night, and a nice man about 10-12 m iles from my Uncle B ill adopted him.  Uncle Bill's going to visit him in the next day or so in hi s new home, to check on him & see how Gomez is getting along.  His new DadKatt told Uncle Bill he was going to harness-train Gome z so he could ta ke him for a walk in the front yard, so he could get used to the new smells, etc. of his new furever home. Isn't that great news?  I was very happy for him, though MomKatt was a little sorry that we weren't going

First it was Morticia & Peppers in the bed.  Suddenly, it was just ... Morticia! Later, she moves and I ... ACHIEVE PHOTOBOMB! Hey Big Sisfur ... you OK? Humm ... guess this sunblob ain't big eno ugh for the two of us ... oh well, my job here i s done!  Here's another bomb!  Ha ha ha!  MOL!   MOL!   Ya'll have a great Monday! PURRZ! Selina

Mornin', peeps!  Today is "Oldie But Goo die " time in my neck of the woods. Now, me - purrsonally?  I don't understand why this particular phot o of Yours Truly always makes my MomKatt laugh and smile (well, aside from the facts that (A) it's a p hoto of me and (B) I make everyone smile) .  But this one in particular always elicits that reaction from her, so I thought I 'd share it today to start everyone's weekend with a smile. Is it my eye, all wide and pi ercing?  Or the fact that Pink Bed is trying de spe rately to e scape my clutches - so desperately, in fact, that he seems willing to risk suicide in order to get away?  (PS - Note how badly he is FAIL ING in his pathetic attempt ... ) I don't know.  Can YOU figure ou t what it i s about this picture that tickles my MomKatt so? I hope all my peeps have a most excel lent weekend.  Mom&DadKatt will be celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary tomorrow. (That's a long t
