You Can't Go Home Again






Mornin' peeps!

In a surprise move this morning (at least, it was a surprise to MomKatt; *I* had been thinking about doing this for some time now), I graced Pink Bed with my furry presence (and butt).  I don't know who was more shocked:  PB or MomKatt.  

But, naturally, my doing this caused her to make a beeline for the iPhone & snap a pic.  She wanted to get me looking UP at the camera, and I was just a split second before I lowered my gaze - as you see here - so she settled for a pic of me looking solumn and thoughtful and concentrated.  (I seldom look solemn and I hardly EVER look still.  MOL!)

Of course I was concentrated!  I was tapping into PB, trying to find out how he felt about me finally deigning to curl up in him.  We've not been close recently.  No, it's nothing PB's done, per se.  Or not done.

I dunno ... I guess I've just been "off" him these last few months.  You know?  Like when a cat toy no longer fascinates, or when a certain brand of treat just doesn't "do it" for you any more.  Or the litter you're used to suddenly feels ... "wrong" under your paws.  Ennui sets in and, pretty soon, you're off, seeking satisfaction elsewhere, the old pleasures and delights forgotten or, in your mind, demoted.

So how was my "experiment" this morning?  Did I learn anything from PB?  Of course not, sillies!  It's a cat bed - it can't meow!  And after MomKatt had gotten what she wanted with this photo, I got up and left him.  No point making him think that we were back where we used to be.  I've changed - HE'S changed.  I'll visit once in awhile, and MomKatt will keep PB on the counter, where he always is.

Just in case I change my mind .... 

PURRZ!

      *blush* Well, it IS my color combination! If I had a race horse, MomKatt says my colors would be pink & black! Thank you furriends!

    I think having the option of sitting in it is the most important thing!

    In the summer I never use my cat bed. It's too hot. Pop p it on his bed with my Colorado Catnip quilt which I lay on all the time now. BTW, did MomKatt wash your pink bed? Sometimes after TW washes my bed, I won't go in it especially if she uses Tide or some smelly detergent.

    We never ever sleep in our beds, we do however sleep in each others beds. Poor Fenny we steals his bed and he is too BIG for everyone elses.

    Sometimes it's important to just mix things up for a little bit and sleep other places for a wile. Doesn't mean you can't come back later. You're a cat, you get to change your mind.

    Well... they do say that everything old becomes new again. At least, that's what I've heard.

    Looks like you have outgrown PB, and the bed in your WW post is more fitting. Plus you have room for a friend in that one. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Cats at our house just don't like pet beds - they prefer hard surfaces. Since they are both tuxedo and female, the color pink would work well here, too, but I refuse to get a pink floor.

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

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...
