One Eye on the Future

*Comes in, starts coffee* Meowlo, Peeps!  Guess ya'll thought we'd fallen through the litterbox!  Well, it *has* been a pretty trying time around my place lately.  MomKatt hasn't really felt like typing for me, and I haven't pushed her.  But today I told her that maybe it would help her to type for me.  I didn't even complain when she pointed the iPhone flashy thing & took some up-to-date snaps of me (see below) doing my mawnin' thang. Been almost a month since my brofur, Sharif, made it to The Bridge.  He's doing well up there, making friends & hanging with our other sibs that have blazed the trail.  MomKatt feels better about him - she knows she did what she had to do and, while that doesn't make it hurt any less, she's grateful that he's out of his discomfort. The rest of us are fine.  I'm out of my Forta-Flora & we're anxiously awaiting shipment today (!!).  I've discovered that stuff's so tasty that I don't...

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! ...
