Today's My Gotcha! Day!

Meowlo, peeps!

Guess what today is??

MY GOTCHA DAY!

Yep. It's also DK's birthday (psst ... he's 60!  MK says she can't believe he's that old. MOL MOL)

Brian from "Brian's Home" took this picture of me when he put the post on his blog searching for someone to adopt me (of course, MK was seduced right away, by my beauty AND my story).

 

MK drove to Charlotte NC on this day EIGHT YEARS AGO (can you believe???) and picked me up at the hotel where my foster lady was waiting. A REALLY bad thunderstorm happened the whole way home to Reidsville (where we lived at the time).

The drive home was AWFUL but I was VERY brave. When I got to my new home, I took right to it and I've never looked back.

Here is what I looked like that day. MK took the pic at the hotel.




She could see right away that I was a real beauty. My eye was REEAAALLLYY wide, too, because there was SO much going on and so many peeps walking by my crate to watch! They didn't know it was ME!

Here's me today! I'm 14 pounds, sleek and beautiful (so MK and DK say).  I'm not fat - I play HARD and am all muscle. My new vet, Dr. Evans (Dr. E. from here on out) said she wished I were HER cat! MK said, "Nothing doing!" They like it at the vet's office when they know I'm coming in (no other blackie is more stunning! Everyone gushes over me.)








I've done pretty well in 8 years, don't you think?
 
Purrz!!!
Selina

    Happy Gotcha Day beautiful satiny Selina! Eight years! We can hardly believe it's been that long. We remember that day and were so happy for you to be adopted by the Katt family.

    Happy Birthday to your DadKatt. And a belated HBD (February) to MomKatt.

    Angel Selina,
    What a touching love story about your adoption and coming home.
    You mentioned, Reidsville at some point, where you used to live... That is not too far from us on I–16 towards Savannah...
    Wishing your Human Parents and furry siblings well.
    Big all around hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

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...
