Selina - Food Follies

Napoleon Bonaparte once famously declared, "An army lives on its stomach."

So with the French, so with the cats in our house.  Observe Rachel, otherwise known as "Miss Hoover 2014".


Then, there is Ray, who is completely without shame.  He works MomKatt during treat time in the morning as single-mindedly as a bloodhound sniffing quail.


Truth is, we ALL jockey for position in the mornings, as you can see here.  I, Selina, am on the left, Ray is propped against the cabinet door and Rachel is just above the dish washer - still vacuuming "bits".  MOL


 There is, however, one exception.



Yes, Morticia.  Always the lady.  Always the poised.  Always the ...

Wait a minute!  Are you kidding me?  She works MomKatt LIKE A BOSS!  She cries so pitifully at our AM feedings that DadKatt can hear her all the way down the hall into their bedroom and starts laughing!

Don't let that innocent look fool you.  She wants her share - and gets it too, I might add.


Rachel ... geeze, cat, give UP already!  You've Hoovered the entire countertop.   There IS no more!

Well, after all that Gooshy Goodness, it's time for a nice nap in Pink Bed, wouldn't you agree?


   "What the ... HEY!  Get outta my bed!"


Humph ... shameless hussy usurper!!!

Selina, signing off to snooze UPSTAIRS, thankyouverymuch!

A Journey - Selina Carter, April 9, 2011 - March 6, 2024

Image
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...
