A Long Day Out

"Lynn took off early one morn this Fall fur to see museums.  They were not close to home at all but she said worth the 180 round mile trip.  She did git home in time fur my late late brunch and then supper."


I went to Alliance, Ohio and saw the 
Cat Fanciers Museum.  Cheap fee of $3.
So many statues and dressed cat dolls.
I thank Miss Vicky at Eastside Cats for the heads up
on this place.





"Willie, here's pink fur you."


Luck Cats that are coin banks and tea pots too.


And who did not ever eat Jell-O!


"Not us kitties, Lynn."


Even the restroom was decorated.




And this was teeny tiny.

"Lynn and I hope we have not bored anyone into a nap.
She had such fun looking at all the kitty statues.  And there
is a library with lots of cat books she has read!"

And some important cat show history and photos of 
blue ribbon winners from years ago.

Time 'er achangin'

 "I am sorry to purr that my time on the catio is coming to an end. The horrible trip to Dr. Feelbad left me is such bad shape that I have little interest in goin' out.  Lynn spent 3 days UTB with me, on her belly, to hold my noggin in one hand and brush me non-stop with the other.  The man who rubs my belly ran to the store at 5:30 AM the second morn to git me lots of lickable treats.  Nevfur evfur had 'em afore.  Lynn tried enticing me to eat one drop of lickable at a time on her fingers.  3 days later I finally felt like a short and quick trip to the rest of the house.  Now I'm eating my favorite crunchies but spending most of the day and night UTB.



"From  now on I will be gittin' my fresh air out the window
while Lynn is feeding the winter birdies and filling the 
water baths fur them."


"I miss my moths and having Chippie dare to
dart across the catio in furont of me. Now he
sits outside eatin' acorns and sticking his tongue out at me."


"He just doesn't understand I am inside plotting my 
strategy fur next Spring.  I just know he'll be thinking he's 
safe then."


"He'll be as safe as this 18 month old doe.
She doesn't know it yet, but a boy will be looking fur
her soon and furry soon.  Then she'll have babies
fur the furst time next Spring.
Lynn has had to give up the bike fur walking the
hills at home.  She's gone less time and gits lotsa
company furom the deers and skwierlls."

Orange Glow

 "Lynn, who heard of an orange Christmas tree?  What were you thinking?"



"Folks, Lynn had me working hard on this tiny
orange lit tree.  I had to rearrange the lights and
put out the Autumn dolly and gourds.
She 'bout wore out my sharp claws and I got
lotsa needle pricks."



"Lynn said we were trying for a Fall kinda
light fest or some such thing.  Mostly it keeps
me awake during leg time at night.  This thing
has been lit since late September.  Fur Halloween 
and such."

"She went a bought a brand new 5 foot 
pre-lit Christmas tree.  I will not have to do
the lightin' on it.  Just help hang ornaments. So I'm
just pawsitive my soft tender toes will not 
git prickled."


"Of course, silly Lynn wanted to show off her furiend
who lives at the water spigot outside.  She uses this tap
fur most of her bird bath filling and carrying buckets and
buckets of water during the drought.  She says this guy
never gives her any trouble and she LIKES him!  Yikes."

"I got home furom the v-e-t dental appointment with all
my pearly whites.  But they nipped my claws!
I am less itchy now at 2 weeks later, and not barking yet."

Trip to Dr. Feelbad

 "What a sorry tail I have to tail.  Lynn grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and stuffed me into a tater sack and dragged me off to the V-E-T.


"They did not git me a private room as fast a usual.  They do
not like me singing the cat song fur it makes the dogs howl.
But I had to sit in the tater sack fur 15 minutes whilst doggies
paraded by me to go git doggie baths,  boy are they nuts."

"Then the gurl took me away and the vampire nearly sucked all
my bloods out and they squeezed my tummy to make me pee.
Lynn felt wet bloomers when I got back to her.
Dr. Feelbad came in and gave me a steriod shot fur my
itchy ears as the Zyrtec is not working.  He stuck telescope down
each ear to try to see my brain and he listened to my heart.
He said it murmured to him.  I did not do that on purpose as
I really do not like to talk to strangers.  He tried to pry my
jaw open to see my tooths but I wouldn't let him.  He was 
afraid ifn he got in there, I'd snap shut like a 'gator."

"So the story is I have to git my tooths cleaned on Oct. 30 and 
it will be the last time 'cause of my heart talking.  I also git a 
chest Xray that day and my claws clipped professionally.
He says he wanted me to take steroids fur my ears but I
can not now.  So he put me on DOGGIE medicine called
Apoquil.  Lynn hopes I do not start barking."



"The only thing good that came out of this was the vet did say
he liked my cute grey nose!  When I got home I hid the rest of 
the day and that's a long time 'cause we went there super early."

"Lynn says she let you know what comes of dog medicine and
stuff."

Yaking up hairballs

 "Lynn has been cleanin' up my upchuck hairballs a lot this summer. She says she's never seen me do such a job or as many."



"I've been makin' Lynn give me brushies 3
times a day, too.  My grey onesie is just sheddin'
more fur this summer."



"I have been leaving these hairballs anywhere I feel.
They have been on the patio, which Lynn says was 
the easiest fur cleanin' up. I put one on my pink rug
and the man who rubs my belly washed it fur me.
 Then there is the kitchen flooring.
 so she can just pick up and swipe with a wet cloth.
 
But the funniest is one day when she was watchin'
TV furom our chair. She did not hear me 'cause she was
watchin' Marshal Dillon. I upchucked on my beautiful.
and thankfully washable,  turquoise blankie that was a gift.
She did not hear me and when she put her bare feets down,
she stepped right in it!  I ran away, but purred a big laugh."

Well, Precious I can say I was in a predicament to get up
after I had messy feet.  I had to wipe them off on the
lovely blankie and then clean and wash it .  I will watch
where I step from now on.

We interrupt with breaking skwierl news

 "Lynn, come quick!  We got furs outside and I need to git out there to help."



"This one breached the catio fence and clumb
up the screen."


"There's a tuxie cat outside the fence.  Lookie see."


"I've seen this fellow afore."


"Lynn git this skwierl offa the door!  He's barking like crazy.
And I think the tuxie is takin' off without takin' the skwierl with him."

Sometimes we have drama here better than cable TV.
The grey squirrel hung for about 10 minutes after the cat left.
I wanted him to calm down before I tried opening the door.
His hind foot was on the screen and his front were holding
onto the porch light.  The second he heard the latch, he
threw himself off and over the 3 foot tall fence in
one fell swoop.
