I have to drag my ass into Mordor's gaping maw in the morning. I'll see yinz tomorrow.

Thank You to all who have served their country with honor.

Just talked to my vet.. feral kitty is doing well... catheter has been removed, more antbiotics have been pumped in.. may get him back tomorrow... takes three people to handle him at the vet... getting him to trust again may take a while... a temporary cage is set up in the shed.. will have to keep him confined for about three days so things can heal.... I suggested that they tranq him to get him back in the carrier.. I will have a better chance of getting him in the cage that way also...
See y'all Purrsday....

Oh! Happy dance! Just talked to my Mom..she has now had two post bladder cancer/chemo check ups and they are both negetive. While the Path rpt is pending on this exam, there were no tumors. Sooo..Happy dance! Tomorrow I am treating my girl coworkers to lunch. Then I am going to give the lunch total to the cancer society. They don't know it yet..that is how happy I am! :)

sherpa18: Mrs CDK: sherpa...welcome back. We missed you! How is Sir Dragon and how is your knee??
lilyspad: Sherpa, how's the knee doing? AND, how is the venerable Dragon??
AlienDandelion: Yes Sherpa - everyone wants to know how you two are holding up down over there...

Hai guise! I'm hanging in there, the knee seems to be slowly improving (I don't think it liked all the wet/cold weather we had been having). More importantly, the white boy continues to appear to shrug off the fact that he is supposed to be ill. Lack of appetite? The little fuzzball is not only devouring breakfast and dinner, we have now added midnight snack. :o) I concede the fact that the vomiting has increased, but he is still running around with no lack of energy or mobility, still purrs and cuddles with me, and plays like a fiend (he is currently trying to steal the straw out of my glass as I type this) .... speaking of playing, I gotta go upload some pics I took earlier this evening of him with a new toy - stay tuned...

I remember when I first met Dragon and he came over to inspect me - then demanded I shower him with adoration (not hard to do at all) plus he ran over to show me that bed in the picture :3
/though in real life it looks more...white :P

p_v - Another thought about Cracker Jack... sometimes they smell something "not right" about their hooman and attack it. Did your husband touch anything odd? Also sometimes the "not right" smell is a hooman medical condition - I've heard of cats attacking areas they smell cancer on. Not to freak anyone out, but it's possible he smelled something that upset him?

sherpa18: And now for the aforementioned play time pics (potato toy courtesy of tigerose)

/ many thanks for making my little kitteh very happy :o)
// yes, i know i need to vacuum
/// and i really need to trim his claws

I am so glad he is enjoying the potato. For those not in the know..when I had my Siamese, Aiko, and I was a broke student..I would take one dead pantyhose foot, stuff it with cotton and catnip..knot it, then turn it inside out and knot again. This was her favorite toy, until she passed at age 15 frm renal failure. So simple, but a certified kitteh delight! The smellier the foot the better!

micromedic: tigerose, if your lovely and poignant poetry, which comes from your heart and mind, didn't make you cry, laugh, smile or otherwise be affected from the thoughts that you are putting in to prose, I would be concerned! That's what it is SUPPOSED to do! And you do it well!

Thank you. I know I am sort of wierd, that I cry when I write about things that touch me deeply, and that I want to share. I even sometimes cry when I write happy poems too...human watering pot, that is me! And I would not trade it for the world...I need to do one that is firefighter specific..for your hubby,lajimi et al!

valnt9 glad you liked it. I never know if you all will see/hear the same things that I do when I am writing.

I really need to learn how to epub...I would like to put poems out there, then have people give to a charity when they download it...instead of me! :) food for thought!

tigerose: I was thinking about natural disasters..and kittehs...and this...

Plaintive Cry

Where are you?
You were here a few memories ago.
Now you are gone.

The wind howled so.
It hurt my ears.

Wail!

And now I cannot find you.
Our home is naught but sticks.
Surely you would not leave me here.

Meow?

Would you?

I am so alone.
I am scared.
Hide.

Silence.

Water flows.
First just my paws are
Wet.
Then the water rises.

Merow?

Why did you have to leave me here?
I thought you would be back

Soon. 
Always Soon.

But you are not with me.
And I must go upstairs. 

I shall go smell your bed.
It brings me comfort.
It is what I know.

Hurry home please?
I am hungry.

Sigh.

Hot.
Air that is dark.
Hard to breathe.
Whiskers singe.

Giant with 
Big hands.
Gloves of terror.

Oh! He's got me!
Nooo! Do not want to leave.
Cannot smell anything, panic!
Oh, where is my person?

Bright lights,
The smell of water.
Char.

Finally a familiar voice,
A face.
Salt water flowing.
Past cheeks, 
Midnight in hue.

My person.
My Comfort.

You.

Purr.

stunning.
utterly stunning.

Suggest to NotSoNiceBunny that she oughta make feline sleeping bags as depictured by Alien Dandelion on pg 11 (quite similar to pillow cases with padding in) in anticip of coming move. Cats who run your lives oughta appreciate!
Also tnx to BBBB for Pandora's Bathtub. If ferrets dislke baths so much, why are they in water?

Plaque once available from Signals. Highly doubt it's still offered.

Well, I finally made it in to say Happy Caturday! Had company that arrived Thursday evening & just now left so I am sure it may take me until tomorrow night to catch up. Oh yeah. We were taking our parrot to the bird vet to be checked out on Friday. We are all ok, but rolled the truck on the ice and ended up on my side of the truck. Usual whiplash kind of things, and of course I had to tell the EMT that I also broke a nail :) I thought it was funny thing to notice. The hard-core tough part of the story is we made it back home, hubby put the studded tires on my car and we went to the vet anyway with the parrot who only had a tiny scrape by his eye. This is why we always wear seatbelts!

Mr. Witch's ex came by with a little something to keep Suzy warm. She knows how cold Suzy can get.



Suzy modeling her new Sweater of Death. 

She is not impressed.

I have to head off to work..Salute to all our Veterans today, and always! Thank you for all you do!

gremlin1: or he stands on his head.

OMG!! Lily does that too!! RIGHT before she takes off and barrels through the house, and tries to get me to chase her!! It's usually after I yell at her for something..... :D Too funny!

 
She likes to turn upside-down when she's being cute...my other cats never did this! Does anyone's cats do this too? It's very endearing, at least to me anyway! It's like she's saying "how can you be mad when I'm so cute?" Ha..

predle: I wish I had thought to call her Marilyn with her birthmark, but she's been Lucy too long to change it now

John Buck 41: AlienDandelion: John Buck 41: And btw, my Skyfall review? 3 words.

WHAT A RIDE!

In some ways (not all, mind you) Best. Bond. Evah.

good for sharing I was wondering about that....
[tnation.t-nation.com image 498x408]

If you are already a Bond fan (and even more so a Daniel Craig fan----and I havn't met a woman yet who isn't the latter) you'll love it.

Meh. Daniel Craig is ok - his british movies were quite enjoyed like Layer Cake.
The actor in me just really appreciates and likes movies and shows of all types if well done hahaha!
/though will admit I have some odd tastes - as well as a special place for campy movies like Cabin in the Woods hahahaha!!!

Alpo 3000: There's a joke here I just know it...

No quilt is complete without lots and lots of cat fur!

[farm4.staticflickr.com image 375x500]

I am so excited for you!
I hope they can help you!

NotSoNiceBunny: A new pic of Felix, this time with much more derp... isn't that the cutest tongue! He'd been grooming himself and accidentally licked the hand I'd made something to drink with - guess he didn't approve of flavor, LOL

[img854.imageshack.us image 600x800]

omg teh derp is strong! hahahaha!!!
/silly kitteh
//my friends cat Sebastien did this once and licked me after I had put some topical freezing on my mouth. Poor kitteh scared himself when tip of his tongue went numb and then he kinda drooled and bubbled and I tried to get to him to wash his tongue and then he got so pissed he took a swipe at me, a swipe at her then purposely ran over to her dogs and gave them a swipe! before running off to sulk O_0
I was bad, yes I laughed.

HAhahah yay Grumpy Cat! :3
I found out last night Grumpy Cat is actually a munchkin kitteh with androplasia (did I spell that right?)
named Tardar Sauce the Grumpy Cat!
The condition gives her the grumpy frown but she is very playful and loving despite what her pictures show hahaha!!!
how could you NOT love that face?!?! :3

Oh hai guize! Iz Caturday in here?
