Happy Fursday friends. It’s a pleasant 65F (18C) 🌞 and looking like a comfortable June day here in the woodlands of MO. #Today after my workout I’m beginning my house painting in the cathouse. All of the catwalks, ladders and rails will be refreshed with a purple coat of paint. The walls were scrubbed and look pretty decent so it’s not too hefty of an endeavor. The tricky part is confining the 3 kitties in the back room during this process. Dommie is such a bully, he might need to be crated.

If the storms aren’t severe my husband and I are going out to dinner to celebrate our 31 yr anniversary of our first date. It’s actually June 5 but he has an appointment near the city today. We’ve always celebrated the 1st date anniversary since we lived in sin for 13yrs before marrying. 😜

We’ve been married since 2006. But we were both fine with living together. The decision wasn’t very romantic, health insurance was the reason. 😂
The Dude ran like the wind from the cat box to the back of the recliner with so much force he almost knocked it over. He then look at me and said “what?” 😼 #Today#CatsOfMastodon
Happy Friday friends!
I spent the morning outside with a cup of tea enjoying the lovely 60°F (15°C) 🌞 weather. Dude missed his lap time 😾so I’ll have to make it up to him after my workout.
This morning we said goodbye to friends visiting from afar, it’s sad they live such a long distance away. We’ll miss their funny stories, lively spirits & just communicating alongside good people with similar mindsets.❤️
No plans so far #today, but that may change.
The weekend is in sight! 🙌🏼 #CatsOfMastodon
To add on to my Monday morning ☹️ Dommie door dashed me for the first time since he’s been an inside kitty in 2020. He was out under the house for less than 3 minutes and came to the door with a huge tail. 🤭 #Today#CatsOfMastodon
Morning Friends. Maybe the good morning will arrive later #today. I woke up terrorized from a mass shooting nightmare. I immediately checked my phone next to the bed for the news. These nightmares have happened before, usually they are hospital dreams. The worst nightmare was in the morning of Sept 11. I won’t describe the carnage. We were camping in CO so when I woke up I figured it was from the high elevations. But, no.😢
I have high hopes this Monday will improve, it has too, I’m retired! 😁😘
Happy Friday friends!
It’s party cloudy, 55F (13C) this morning and reaching 70F (21C) by this afternoon. I think a convertible ride is in our future, & blow the stink off.😝 Heading to the Loading Dock in Illinois. It’s a beautiful drive, mostly slow cruising & crossing the river with 2 ferries. The wkd is crazy there so we avoid that at all costs.
My hubbys lower back issues have been relieved with 4 treatments of acupuncture and PT. So the long drive #today will not be a problem.👏🏼
😘🤗 #TGIF
Happy #TongueOutTuesday 😛
Dude left my lap briefly for his morning hydration.
I slept over 8 hrs according to my sleep study! So nice to be home & in my own bed.
I have a heartwarming story about my weekend. The 5 of us friends were going to dinner in one SUV on Sat evening. The back right tire made a pop sound. We safely pulled over. We could see a piece of metal embedded in the flat tire.
It wasn’t 10 minutes a young man pulled over and then another young man.
Cont…
Happy Tuesday Masto friends.
This is the last health update on Little Guy. Yesterday he climbed the narrow steps to the window perch where he eats & sleeps on his heated bed. After his partial paralysis from blood clots he was unable to maneuver the steps. I tried to post a video of him trying & falling 2 wks ago, but it wouldn’t send. He is 100% mobile now, the clots have dissolved & he has no noticeable damage. His heart murmur & BP are managed with meds & the power of love! 💗 #Today#Cats
We took Parker pooch for a convertible ride, but we had to stay close to home because his guardians forgot his car seat. We went to Cuivre River state park which is a 15min drive and a beautiful park. It’s 88F (31 C). He was too hot with his fur coat on, not right for April.
I hope you all had an awesome weekend. #Today
Happy #Caturday
It’s been a busy week here in the woodlands of MO.
Some of my friends know how our week began. Little Guy (LG) gave us a scare with partial paralysis in his hind quarters. He was diagnosed last year with a heart murmur. On Monday his BP was severely elevated & his heart was failing, he had thrown clots to his rear legs. With heart & BP meds on board he is recovering. His left leg is stronger, his right is compromised. He is a resilient & determined LG. ❤️ #CatsOfMastodon#dogs
My kitty, Little Guy is going to the vet right now. Last night before bed his hind legs became partially paralyzed. He is the kitty that was a diabetic w/insulin injections but a year he ago went into remission. I immediately checked his BS & it was 167 normal and today’s was normal. In November he was diagnosed with a heart murmur which leads me to believe this condition is a “saddle embolism.” It maybe very grim. 😞
Send me some healing vibes. It’s an hour drive so I’ll toot later. #Today
Happy #Caturday friends!
I slept wonderfully last night after a rough day yesterday. The latest Covid booster I received on Thursday kicked my butt 24hrs later, but I feel pretty good this morning.
The sun is shining, squirrels are terrorizing each other for seed, birds are singing their spring songs and Dude is asleep on my lap.
Enjoy your weekend and be safe. ❤️ #Today#CatsOfMastodon.
