One Eye on the Future

Meowlo, peeps! For your Tuesday viewing pleasure, here is my sisfur, Morticia, for "'Ticia Tuesday". She'd been taking a bit of a snooze on the bed this morning , so pardon her sleepy expression. Here is a profile shot: Now, to other kitty news:  GOMEZ UPDATE !!!!   Uncle Bill called MomKatt last night.  We hadn't wanted to say anything about this but, when he called Sunday night, he was VERY worried because Gomez did not show up that night for his dinner.  He said then that, in the year he's been feeding him, this was only the second time that Gomez hadn't shown.  The really worrisome part was:  they have coyotes in that area.   MomKatt & he agreed that night to be optimistic.  She told him that Oliver, our resident "porch panther", often goes on walk-about sometimes, and that she's learned to be patient and he will show back up in 1-2 days.  She said she just *knew* the same thing would happen with Gomez. But of...

SUBJECT:   DadKatt CRIME:      Untimely photo offloadin g My buddy, Keisha , is showing off a prize - PRIZE! - cat tree. And what am *I* showing, you may ask?  A whole lotta N UTHIN', that's what.  And WHY? Because that HOOMAN pic tured above - yes, my DadKatt, who is otherwise a nice, reasonable, affection hooman bean - is dr agging his feet and failing to download the Xmas pictures from his digital camera so that I can blog about my AWESOME , STUNNING & YOU'RE -SO -GOING-TO-WANT-ONE cat tree that Santa Paws brought me for Xmas.  (Ok, ok he brought it for all of us kitties and , yes, Morticia *really* loves to get int o the top bed & look out the door but ... bear with me, OK?) Have I meowed abo ut this at all ?  No.  Have I said ANYTHING whatsoever up until now?  No.  I've been a model kitty, patiently waiting ... hoping ... And waiting. Prodded MomKatt.  S HE prodded DadKatt. And we're...

Quick post ...  here is the picture of my brother, half-brother, sibling, relation., courtesy of my Uncle Bill. MomKatt's going to call him back in a few minutes.  He just called our house & we missed him by about 2 minutes! Isn't he handsome?  He's got that big male head going on.  I REALLY hope we can find him a furrever home!!  (If you don't know about this, see my post previous to this one for details.) We need a name and, in honor of my sisfur, Morticia, I propose we name him GOMEZ! PURRS! Selina PS - MomKatt just talked to Uncle Bill.  It seems that, since their last phone conversation in the previous blog entry, he can now PICK GOMEZ UP, HOLD HIM, LOVE ON HIM, ETC.!  In just this short amount of time, Uncle Bill told her, Gomez "can't get enough love"!   So we think that socialization will NOT be a problem with him!!!  GREAT NEWS!

OK I open this first with an apology to my Uncle Bill.  He called MomKatt at New Year's and asked that we blog about this, and things happened with Livia that sidetracked us.  We know he'll understand, but we're sorry to not have gotten onto this sooner. Having said THAT, here is what Uncle Bill called MomKatt about (besides checking on this little uniocular feline, of course). As I think I've said to you all before, even after I left, Uncle Bill has continued to feed & care for several of the feral kitties that hang out at the country club dumpster/golf cart house where he found me.  We SO admire him for doing this and he's really devoted to the cats. But there is one, he says, that is a black male, a little over one year old and who he tells MomKatt STRONGLY reminds him of me - in actions, in looks, etc. (except that he has both his eyes).  He's worked with him and gotten this little black boy to coming to him when he shows up with the food and fe...

Something wonderful happened yesterday. A box arrived for MomKatt, which she discovered waiting for her on the front porch when she got home from work.  She opened it to find: She read the card first, and was in tears at the beautiful, loving words written within. Then she opened each of the four tissue-wrapped packages and found:  These are angel kitties, made by our furriend, Laura Strickland of The Cat In The Clover , who has an etsy shop & makes wonderful things like this.  They represent four of the five of my siblings that are now at The Bridge enjoying their Tenth Inning - Feisal, Livia, Kukla & Torrie - and were sent from Miz Amy, who is mom to Feisal's wife, the lovely black Zilla (whom y'all don't know but, trust me, this was one gorgeous black kitty, who just recently made the trip to The Bridge herself).  I guess Miz Amy initially wanted to honor Livia, then figured she'd "catch MomKatt up" on the others who had gone before h...

Meowlo, Peeps! Since it's Morticia's day on the blog, I thought I'd share some new photos taken of my pretty black sisfur this morning.  She really DOES have beautiful eyes. Her whiskers are balanced again, too.  MOL  She now has one white whisker on each side - she previously did a few weeks ago, but one dropped off, leaving her lop-sided.  Now another one has come in.  ;-) Better her than me!  (She says salt-and-peppers whiskers are sexy.  Whatever.  MOL) Oh, here she is with Peppers this morning, a little later after these shots. I think she's a bit disgusted about annoyed by having her "alone time" on the bed interrupted by him, don't you?  MOL BROFURS!! Oh, one other thing.  My good furriend, Texas (a cat who lives in New York) is in a contest!  It's Westchester Magazine's 2013 Pet Contest, and I'd like to ask ya'll who don't already know this super kitty to follow the link & vote for him!  Just cl...
