One Eye on the Future

http://www.catster.com/cats/602981 First, I want to concatulate my sisfur, Morticia, for being Catster's Diary of the Day today!  Writing really runs in our family, it seems.  It's really no wonder our typist doesn't have time to write any of HER stuff; she's busy typing for me & for 'Ticia!  (Luckily, she used to play classical piano too, so she's pretty fast on a keyboard.)  But we are both grateful for her efforts - how else could we communicate with our peeps all over the world?  Anyway, concats, 'Ticia, on a job well-done & well-deserved! Her Catster furriend, Manytoes, made the pic up there for her to put on her Catster page.  His furramily makes pics for everyone on Catster, it seems.  They are VERY nice (and yes, he DOES have "many toes"!  He's a blackie like Morticia & me.) In other news, it's MomKatt's turn to house-sit & wait for the AC guy today.  I don't mind - B. is in the basement, where...

I *knew* it!  The little so-and-so!  You wait 'til I get my paws on him!  You just wait!  I'll bunny-kick the stuffing out of him! Then again, it *is* Morticia & she has very powerful, very persuasive "charming" methods.  She's quite skilled in enticing things - and peeps! - to do her bidding.  Couple that with a black cat's natural ability to cast spells and ... well ... Purr-haps I shouldn't blame Pink Bed *quite* so completely.  After all, when you're in the paws of a "pro" ... And it *is* "'Ticia Toosday". Meh ... alright.  I'll let it slide. THIS time ... PURRS! Selina PS - Meanwhile, the AC guys are coming out to fix it (hopefully) tomorrow, so DadKatt is taking another day off then to be here when they get here.  Now we just have one more night to get through.  Last night wasn't too bad but no doubt the repair-person visit will cause quite a stir amongst us felines.  It's not supposed to ...

Mornin', peeps! I hope everyone had a great weekend. The good news today is, I actually got OFF of the couch!  Here I am in Pink Bed where MomKatt found me this morning when she got up.  (Of course, I felt like I was in an installment of "Men In Black", as naturally the flashy thing got me in my repose.) And there was much rejoicing. The bad news for today is ... our AC is on the fritz, DadKatt is home waiting for the AC guy and, thus, a certain "cow cat" is loose soooo ...  Where was I when MomKatt left for work? Yup.  You guessed it. *sigh*  I honestly think a girl katt can't win for losing ...  Have a great Monday, ya'll! PURRS! Selina  PS - Health-wise, all joking aside, I seem to be much improved.  In fact, I AM!  However, MomKatt is DEEPLY troubled & concerned about me psychologically with regard to Boudicca ... *sigh*  She is going to look up Alasandra's suggested website, http://www.rescueme.org/, later on...

Meowlo, peeps ... Just a quick Sunday update.  MomKatt apologizes for not transcribing for me yesterday but it would've been hard to do so, as I was in her lap most of the evening and there is room there either for me or the laptop.  Of course, the 'puter must go.  We watched baseball - her Tigers got beat.  :( Anyway, Dr. L said on Friday that my temp had come down and that I was in their large (and VERY nice) kennel area throughout the day, enjoying the added space.  He said whenever anyone either went by where I was, or went in to interact with me (ahem ... or shove that STOOPID 'mometer up my tuckus), I was soliciting petting, and rubbing on things and acting much like the normal, happy kitty that I am.   He said I was improving as he had hoped/expected me to, and for MomKatt to just keep a close eye on me after she got me home.  :)   So was I glad to get back here!  I spent a lot of yesterday on top of the kitchen cabinets - w...

Dr. L just called MomKatt - he said that my temp was around 102 right then - due, no doubt, to being stressed at being at his office - but that, in his opinion, I was MUCH improved & am ready to go whenever MomKatt can come get me! Hurry up, MomKatt!  Get out of that STOOPID office & get me HOME! PURRS! Selina the happy PS - Pic is what I'M going to be doing tonight while the pawrents watch their Detroit Tigers baseball game!  XOXO  

Man.  Oh.  Man. As we all know, getting sick is NO fun.  But I WILL say this for it:  the attention you get at MY house is pawsome! These lap shots were taken later yesterday evening, after MomKatt had finished her dinner.  We were on the sofa yet again the entire time. When she came home, she took a picture of me:  I had apparently spent all day there, resting, but when she came in & starting lovin' on me ... well ...  I roused myself.  I stretched.  I nudged her fingers.  I PURRED.  Ummmm the rubbin's felt SOOOOO good!  I was purring like a mad thing, I was so glad to see her.  She even served me my gooshy food on the couch, there!  (I had to put up with some vacuuming but, as she admitted, the carpet *was* bad - mostly shavings from Morticia & Peppers tackling both the scratching post and the scratching area of our Star Chaser ... she kept it short.)  When I was eating my gooshy food?...

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...
