Stuffs Gitten Done. some Ain't.

 Door has been up 24 or so hours.  There is a somewhat minor problem.  The man will be over very soon and Mom'll show him.  I think the left side facing so to speak may need replacing.   


Happy Canada Day to all my dear Canadian friends and Cats.  Hugs to each of you, furred and not, and  Mom and I so glad to have you as friends.  Canada Cats are THE finest in the Northern Hemisphere.  Right?  Right. 

Very hot here.  Mom has been up and down for 2 1/2 hrs watering the roses.  They were looking sad again but Mom caught them in time it seems.  She looked up what curled edged rose petals meant!  Shiver our timbers...wasn't good.  We don't care of it's not Talk Like a Pirate Day.  We love doing that. We are working on it though...lotsa watering and they look far happier today. 

I'm not hiding..I am in plain view but...I am sleeping the day away except for food.  I am old.  Mom and I both don't want to face it.  It's a struggle getting me to eat but I am eating some.  Mom follows me everywhere and will open whatever it takes to get me to eat.  I am still tucking my little precious headie into her neck at night.  Or sleeping on her ankle bones when I leave her Northern sector.  Or at her waist. I love my mommy.  With all my Katie heart. Mom is always concerned, but getting more so.  She won't do the appetite med.  It made me horrifically ill the day and I half I had it last November.  Mom promised me she would never ever make me take that.  My respirations were in the high 90's while taking it and I could not rest or be still. 

Mom doesn't want a downer here.  We will keep you advised.

I hope the door is fixed by now (I'm late catching up with everyone).

Good luck saving the roses.

May you eat, purr and be happy.

Being old isn't fun, Katie. There doesn't seem to be any compensation for the pains, discomforts, fatigue, lack of appetite - except knowing that you have had - and continue to have - the most wonderful of lives, and have brought joy to all who've known you, in person and through your blog.

It is days like this, or bitterly cold ones, that I have to ask myself why animals are such damn fools, insisting on going outside when all the creature comforts are inside.

Pam and Teddy said...

Katie dear - every day brings a new challenge but YOUR JOB for your Mom and all of us is to FEEL FINE......got it? Make sure and keep an eye on The Door Man so that door gets fixed RIGHT. You are the door monitor as all of us who are "The Protectors" ! Sending you POTP and stuff.

Hugs, Teddy

It is too hot 🥵 for any kitty to be very active. Sleep the days away if you need to do so. We are all doing the same. We know your mom loves you bunches and takes super good care of you. Happy 4th of July. Stay safe. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali

Happy Independence Day, Katie. We sure hope the door situation gets squared away soon. We love you and Mom very much, and we're sending purrs and prayers for lots more snuggling and head tucking. And better appetites, too. XO

Happy Independence Day, sweet Katie. We sure hope all the door-related stuff gets sorted out real soon. We love you and Mom very much, and are purring and praying for lots more snuggles and head-tucking. And increased appetites, too. XO

Smudge said...

Oh dear, Miss Katie, please try to eat the best you can. You are so tiny as it is. I'm sending over tons and tons of purrs and love to you and your mom. We just had a storm door put on, and the gaps at the top, bottom and latch side make the door completely useless. We love Black Mountain, but the place we have to call home for now is owned by a small company that wants to own rental properties but doesn't want to care for them properly. I'm pulling for you, sweet girl.

The J-Cats said...

We hope you and your Mommy had a wonderful Independence Day, dearest Katie! And that your appetite improves. We love you furry much and We don't want you starving yourself! We hear you are having furry freaky weather over there. Why not teleport over here and We can go and picnic in the Enchanted Forest, where it's neffur too hot and neffur too cold? Purrs and kitty kisses from the J-Cats.

Charlee: "Our Dada says it was really hot in New York the whole time he was away, too. He says he stayed inside nearly all the time. Since he stays inside nearly all the time here, too, we're not sure why he bothered to leave to go there. We may forgive him ... Eventually."
Chaplin: "Keep eating, Katie! Your Mommy sleeps better knowing you're next to her!"
