Tomato the Cat (6/49)
This is Tomato, the Best Friends newscat! I think she may not be around anymore, actually, because her homepage hasn’t been updated since 2004, and she was rescued in 1987 (at the age of a few weeks old), so it’s been a while since Best Friends has even made a peep about Tomato. But honestly, … Continue reading
Meet Macaroon (2/49)
This is Macaroon, one of the beautiful cats you can sponsor or even adopt from Best Friends Animal Society. She is a perfect example of the loving care BFAS provides all animals, ensuring that every animal has a place to be cared for their whole lives. You see, Macaroon has been living at Best Friends … Continue reading
Breeding Defects
I saw someone on Etsy is selling items to raise money for their Bengal kitten’s cataract surgery. I hope they are able to do so, but honestly, unless they magically obtained two purebred Bengals at no cost, they should have been prepared for this additional expense. Bengals are known to have cataract/vision issues. Many purebred … Continue reading
Adventures in Hard of Hearingness
So :A: and I are talking about the cat, and how she’s playing with a little catnip mouse, who we call Mickey the Insult Mouse. Mickey has a very dirty mouth, and Yum Yum has to smack him around from time to time. So she was poking at him, and then she sat on him. … Continue reading
NAD: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Morning
So I have to catch you up on what’s been happening since Monday. Tuesday was pretty uneventful most of the day. Okay, I’ll be honest…I don’t remember what I did. Definitely looked around the exhibit hall a lot, signed up with HOVRS to get their new MVP device and a Purple Number, chatted with former … Continue reading
Pictures and Videos of Amanita
I’m done uploading pictures and video of Amanita. She is sitting on the desk with me as I type this. She is very finely powdered now. Sigh. To view all the pictures and videos, look here. What follows is my favorites.
Amanita’s Gone
Thank you everybody. She is gone now. It was so hard. When we were driving to the vet, I couldn’t cry…I felt sad but I couldn’t make myself cry. As soon as we walked inside I started to cry and I didn’t stop until it was all over. It took a really long time, we … Continue reading
Amanita’s Fate is Set
I’ve posted about this on Facebook, Lit, AllDeaf, and Twitter. It’s time I shared it here. We are having Amanita put to sleep tomorrow. My sweet little girl, who I named my website after in 1999, is senile and has kidney failure. She hydrates herself okay, but over time she has forgotten all about the … Continue reading
Cat Advice Needed
I need some advice about our cat, Amanita. She is in the early stages of kidney failure, but she’s managing it herself – she drinks a lot, and therefore pees a lot. She is old and stiff, so she has to be kept up in the bedroom where her litter box is. This is a … Continue reading
Shoppingks
Mischa keeps having bad dreams. He woke up hissing a little while ago, and just now he was growling in his sleep. Today we went to the outlets at Leesburg; it was more crowded than I would have liked, but less crowded than I expected. I needed to go to Lane Bryant to exchange some … Continue reading
