HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Meowlo, Peeps!

I'm looking out of our kitchen window right now. This is where DadKatt puts the hummingbird feeder.  He just loves to tend to them and watch them.  Setting up Bird TV in HD for us is his hobby and the hummers really get him going.  But with all the terrible weather we've been having, plus the fact that it's time for them all to start migrating to warmer areas, we've not seen any in the past week or so ... and DadKatt hates to bring the feeder in 'cause that means no more hummers until next spring!

I hate it too but Nutmeg's going to hate it even MORE!  She's spent all summer scrabbling on the window, trying to get them.  After they realized she was no danger, they just drank like normal and probably told her to stuff it!

This lack of sunshine is playing heck with my tanning sessions!

Speaking of the little shaver, today is a very special day.  Nutmeg is one year old today!  MomKatt says her little girl's growing up.  I say she still acts like a kitten:  she chases EVERYBODY around the house all the time.  And you should see her leap up in the air to get the teaser MomKatt waves at her ... I've gotten my licks in on that one, too.  I'm not letting her hog the toys!  (And "my" little red dot, too - it's MINE!)  I have to admit though, watching her and Ray in their mutual love fests grooming sessions is pretty funny.

So I'm sure there'll be 'nip aplenty tonight! Nutter took to the weed right off - surprised the pawrents.  They didn't think the younger ones liked it at that age.  Then again, Nutmeg's just DIFFERENT.  (It's that tortie-thing.)

PURRZ Y'ALL!  Keep dry out there - it's pouring buckets here.  Looks like we're going to have another soggy weekend!

Ray attempted to stuff her into the kitchen trash can as a prank, but she just popped the lid off, then decided to sit in it!

    Happy Birthday beautiful Nutmeg! Y'all keep safe up there. The National Weather Service at our airport is calling the coming rains "historic and life threatening".

    Happy birthday to Nutmeg! I actually liked catnip from an early age too. (But then I, um, "developed" early and needed to be spayed sooner than expected also!) She is so funny sitting in the trash can top - a total original.

    Happy Purrday Nutmeg!!!!!

    Yin and Yang seemed to react to our nip candies which surprised our Mom as she didn't think nip would have any interest for them at their age.

    Happy Birthday Nutmeg! We took down our hummingbird feeders too. Soon we will put out some other feeders sunflower seeds and thistle.

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...
