One Eye on the Future

Meowlo peeps. Quick update, since I've not written in a few days.  My oldest brofur, Sharif, experienced a RAPID onset of acute kidney failure over the last week and Mom&DadKatt had to help him to The Bridge on Monday.  Needless to say, they are both very upset.  Sharif was their first cat, 16-3/4 years old, they got him one month after they got married - so he'd been with them throughout their entire married life up to his death.  MomKatt's taking it pretty hard - and this was to be their vacation week attending some races they'd both been looking forward to at VIR nearby (Virginia International Raceway) w/company coming in from Seattle. So they are still doing that, with MomKatt going back & forth from the house to the track to take care of us ... but there was nothing they could've done for him, his path downhill was SO fast - even from the time that MomKatt took him to the vet Mon. morning for a mini-panel blood workup until she & DadKatt got the...

Get a load of that tail, would you?  Wonder if she gets HBO on that thing?  *giggles* Morticia *loves* being in the pawrents' bathroom window in the late afternoons because the back of our house gets the PM sun and it is VERY warm & cozy.   :)  Even in winter (and, yes, MomKatt *does* open the window in winter for her once in awhile).  Of course, we're lucky in NC in winters that it is usually fairly mild. PS - She also loves to be backlit in "window pictures"!  MOL Uh oh ... reception is getting lousy, better adjust that tail tip!  MOL PURRS! Selina  

Meowlo Peeps! Well *my* Labor Day weekend didn't start out all that auspiciously, let me tell ya!  About 8:45 AM, I was scooped up by MomKatt, thrust into this silly carrier and found myself riding in the MINI - AGAIN!   What the meow?!  She said two weeks ago that THAT trip was gonna be my last until my well-kitty exam next year!  MomKatt LIED! *sigh*  Not being able to fight it, I settled back for the short ride to Dr. L's.  Once arrived, there was nattering amongst the hoomans - something about "expelling" and "worms".  Plus, MomKatt had a poop sample in a plastic bag.  Oh no, what now? I thought - more probing?   Long story short ... the BEST news is ... *drum roll* ... I AM OFFICIALLY WORM-FREE! Second, MomKatt & I really *do* want to give a bit shout-out of thanks to Katie Isabella for calling MomKatt's attention to what was most likely behind my recent "scooting" actions.  Yes, indeed, my anal glands needed expelling! ...

Meowlo peeps! Just checking in.  Nothing much to report from UniOcular Land.  I continue to do better w/my poops, though I "scooted" on my butt a little on the carpet this morning after I pooped.  :(  No blood, however, which is a good thing.  We are awaiting the arrival of some Forti-Flora for me to start taking, just to help the bacteria in my digestive tract stay nice & healthy - should arrive on Saturday.  I sure hope MomKatt is right and I don't have to go back to the V E T until this time next year ... Oh!  Holy Bast, I nearly forgot.  Some mild Basement Excitement the other day!  This was cornered (but not dispatched) by Boudicca in the basement the other night.  DadKatt scooped it up on a piece of Tupperware (the most rigid thing close to hand) and dumped it out the basement door, while MomKatt Googled its image to find out what it was.  Turns out it's a Northern Ringneck Snake.  Sociable creatures, t...

Well I certainly hope this is the LAST vet visit I have for awhile!  I got my second dose of Drontal, Dr. Brigham said I was shiny & purrrty and now I'm home and Mom&DadKatt are going to be gone all day visiting DadKatt's pawrents & seeing what's wrong with his father, who is in the hospital.  So I'll have all day in a nice, quiet house to recover from being tricked into the carrier once again.  *sigh* OTOH I'm glad I'm mending well, my poos are MUCH improved & I'm peeing like a champ!  (That's how MomKatt puts it, anyway.) And once again, thank you to Sparkle for letting me blog about black kitties yesterday, and thanks to everyone who read it & commented.  I'm glad everyone enjoyed it and I hope that perhaps someone sees it who wants to adopt a black kitty and is persuaded to do so by my praise of us shiny blackies!  We ARE worth it! I hope all my peeps have a great Caturday! PURRS! Selina PS - And I got a REALLY yummy trea...
