One Eye on the Future

MomKatt stayed home today w/a scratchy throat and a stuffy head.  So ... here's where **I** spent today.  :) :) Yes, I am now a true lap kitty. PURRS! Selina

Look guys!  Look what I was doing just 20 minute ago - yes yes yes! I have for the first time since I arrived in April eaten with all the other cats downstairs in the kitchen this afternoon!!  Mom&DadKatt are so excited and, frankly, so am I!  I'm a full member of the family at LAST! Happy purrs, Selina

I was playing SO hard yesterday after MomKatt got home!  I was so happy to see her - I even allowed her to snap a photo of me in between BATS of the mylar teaser (I'm just a blur on a cell phone camera, most of the time).  So, like Ed McMahon used to say, "HEERRREEEE'S SELINA!"  MOL Unfortunately, it IS a bit dark, but you can see part of our living room and this VERY annoying stuffed mousie on the floor next to that round kitty bed. (I hear it's heated but it belongs to Sharif.  Never mind, I'll have my way with it come winter and shove his old behuncuss out of it!) PURRS! Selina the brave downstairs explorer

Hi all, Just wanted to stop by & say a big "Thank you" to everyone for their kind words & posts about my brofur, Feisal.  Of course, you know he & I didn't see "eye to eye" on ... well, anything, really ... but he must've been a good kitty 'cause Mom&DadKatt are just busted up about losing him.  I think he associated me with starting to feel worse after my arrival and that's not anyone's fault, just the way things shook out.  If I felt that bad, I guess I'd have been kinda grumpy at someone, too.  Maybe that was the only way he could find to express how bad he was feeling.  We don't know. Oh, and a shout out of thanks for the Cat Blogosphere memorial graphic.  MomKatt's saved it  to her hard drive.  MomKatt took a bunch of pictures of him on Thurs., as she came home early to spend time with him on his last day before taking him to the vet on Friday.  This one was particularly funny and, she tells me, totally dem...

Hi guys.  I'm letting MomKatt speak today.  It's a sad day at our house. ******************* Hi all, I am taking Feisal to Dr. Lofgren this morning at 9:30 to help him on his trip to The Bridge.  It's been a very hard week for us, and this has been a very hard decision.  Gary & I are both devastated but we know it's the right thing to do.  I've only told a very few people prior to today, so please forgive me if some of the following two paragraphs are familiar to you.  Most of you don't know the latest. Simply put, we've run out of options.  We fought, and we've lost.  As of Tues., he was on the new chemo-type med for two weeks, and Dr. Lofgren had told me when he prescribed it for him to call & update him at that point as to whether it had had any positive effect on his poops or anything and ... it hasn't made any difference.  If anything, he looks worse and he acts as if he feels worse.  His hip bones are...

I had a HEAVENLY weekend and I hope all my peeps did, too! MomKatt's told me I'm a VERY talented girl:  not only can I destroy an entire house in 5 min. or less (well, potentially, she said) I apparently have GREAT kidneys!  Why, you ask?  Because I spent a HUGE amount of time both Saturday AND Sunday downstairs on the sofa with MomKatt (and sometimes DadKatt, too - they watch movies on Sunday) just snoozing and snuggling and sleeping and NOT going to the box!  MOL  MomKatt said I must have a very impressive bladder. MOL! Aren't you glad to know that now?  Hee hee! I really loved it, too.  I mean, the pawrents are gone to their work so much during the week and I miss them when they're gone, especially MomKatt.  I love all OVER her when she comes home. DadKatt had to separate me & Feisal on Fri.  We were in what he called a "cat ball", going at it hammer & tongs.  Scared MomKatt we were screaming at each other so loudly....
