SHORT & SWEET SELFIE

This is going to be short and sweet today…just like me. My typist is having some eye issues and wants me not to talk too much. Since I lost my hearing, I have been talking a lot more and very loudly.

So, I am just going to post those blogging tips and call it a night, except for

  • blowing a 💋 to a certain man cat
  • and apologizing for my blurry selfie.

MEOW LIKE A PIRATE DAY 2018

Not So Wordless Wednesday

 

 

The boys are participating in Meow Like a Pirate Day. The girls said they were not interested this year.

Says who? Whoever said that was lying. We girls think it is super cool to be pirates.

The boys are all dressed and ready to go. You girls seem to be sitting around in your furs.

We don’t need costumes to swill grog and rum and search for buried treasure.

Not dressing up sort of takes the fun out of it don’t you think?

Arrgh! I guess you’re right. So here I am in my costume.

 

Pirate cat Misty May

 

Do you have a pirate name?

Of course; though, I think whomever came up with it must have been blind. I am known as Calico Mary Kidd. It’s obvious I’m a tuxie not a calico.

Do any of the other girls wish to join you as a pirate?

I guess not…maybe that rumor about not participating wasn’t so far from the truth.

Should we check out the boys and see if they are dressed for the activities?

Yeah…why not.

Pirate cats: Cooper Murphy, Mau, Sawyer

 

Wow, they sure look like swashbucklers. I wonder what their pirate names are?

We are Captain Roger Kidd, Captain Sparrow the Funkmaster and Iron Davy Rackham.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of milk. Mau says I’m too young for rum or grog and that I cannot drink alcohol with my medication. Pffft! Oops, I mean Arrgh.

Do you scalawags have a ship?

As a matter of fact we do. Unfortunately it is in need of repairs, as you can see. We are disgruntled landlubbers for now.

 

 

Due to our inability to set sail and pillage some villages, we are setting off for some parties. Captain Roger Kidd and Iron Davy Rackham are heading over to the Tabby Cat Club, and later Captain Roger Kidd will join me at Cat Scouts.

What about Calico Mary Kidd? Are you taking her with you?

I guess she can tag along with us to Cat Scouts

Gee, thanks, Captain Jack Sparrow Funkmaster. So kind of you.

Have fun today! Don’t get yourselves into any trouble.

Arrgh! Arrgh! Arrgh! Arrgh!

Key to speakers: Mom/Sawyer/Cooper Murphy/Mau/Misty May

Though we have not been wordless today, we are joining the blog hops at Create with Joy and Comedy Plus.

Wordless Wednesday at Create With Joy

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY M & MM…A DAY LATE!

Well, as usual, Mom screwed up. She should have posted yesterday to say happy 14th birthday to us. She often is confused these days. So much sadness and heart break with friend upon friend leaving for the Rainbow Bridge. It almost doesn’t seem right for us to celebrate. But…

First, I (Mau) must thank my lovely and beautiful wife Allie (Friends Furever) for my birthday card.

 

 

She didn’t have to do anything more for me, but she did. And can you believe Mom made me wait until my birthday yesterday to open the gifts she sent? Maybe the wait was worth it. Wow! My prezzies are terrific!

 

birthday gifts

 

She sent this special new blanket with nip in it and three very cool toys. Mom and Dad were going to put the blanket on their bed for me, but I refused to get off of it.

💗 Thank you, Allie! 💗

 

If you think my gifts look like goodies you’d like to have for yourself, they are from Catching Lizards. To go there, click here.

Misty May and I thank Pipo, Dalton and Petcretary Ingrid (Meezer’s Mews and Terrieristical Woofs) for the beautiful card. They never forget a birthday.

 

 

I made a cake for our celebration in my Cat Scouts Bake Shop. Please join us for a piece, as well as some noms and bubbly.

FILLING IN ON FRIDAY

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #121

 

Friendly Fill-Ins is a blog hop hosted each Friday by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). The sentences to be completed can be found on their blogs each Thursday. This is a great way to learn a bit more about your fellow bloggers. To join, click on the Fill-Ins badge.

I needed some help from Kitties Blue to complete today’s fill-ins. All our fill-ins are in teal italics.

1. Mau: September is the perfect month for a big birthday celebration for Misty May and me. We’ll be 14 on the 17th.

Friendship Friday - Mau and Misty May kittens

We were cute kittens and liked each other when we were youngsters. Not so much now!

 

2. Mom Janet: This month, I am looking forward to our construction project beginning. Excavation was finally completed yesterday.

3. Calista Jo: My morning routine always includes gobbling down my breakfast so I can steal Giulietta’s. She is a slow poke and will always back off when I show up.

4. Cooper Murphy: I have a love-hate relationship with Mau. We like to bathe each other at night, but before meals we like to get down and dirty with wrasslin’, kickin’, growlin’ and hissin’. (It’s really all in good fun!)

We also are joining the Feline Friday blog hop at Comedy Plus. To join click on the badge below.

SUNDAY SELFIES HOP BEGINS FIFTH YEAR

Sunday Selfies: Week #211

Today we begin year five of our Sunday Selfies blog hop. For those who have supported us from the beginning or have joined along the way, thank you for your support. We are always looking for new participants, so please invite any friends or new bloggers you might have met.

I asked Misty May to host the hop today, so she could show all her admirers how much better her left eye looks. The corneal ulcer has healed and the inflammation is nearly gone. We continue to give her eye drops and will until they are finished. She’s not happy about that, as you can see from her selfie. It’s by far not her grumpiest look, but still not that of a happy camper.

OH GOODY…ANOTHER VET VISIT!

Tuxie Tuesday with Misty May

A day without a trip to the vet would be a darn good day for Kitties Blue. Yesterday was not one of those days. Here’s the evidence.

Misty May's vet visit.Several days ago Misty May’s left eye began draining a lot and was closed most of the time. We started putting the terramycin ointment in it from when the eye “icks” were being passed around, but Misty May just took her paw and rubbed it out.

So…yesterday Miss Misty May was whisked off to the vet. Dr. Neel is at the beach, so she saw another of the wonderful doctors at Vinton Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Wiegard stained her eye and discovered a corneal ulcer. This is the second occurrence. Misty May also had one of these in January during the “ick” epidemic. You can read about that here.

These ulcers are more common in dogs, but Dr. Wiegard said she’s seen several cats with them recently. Such an ulcer can be caused in a variety of different ways. The cat may have sustained a blunt force trauma or received a laceration, possibly from the claw of another cat, a thorn or any other sharp object. An ulcer also can form as the result of a chemical burn. We know that’s not the cause of Misty May’s ulcer. I suspect she may have had a dustup with another Kitty Blue, as she is our resident bully.

We were told at the time of the first ulcer that Misty May’s cornea might remain occluded (which it didn’t) after healing, but her vision would not be effected. I don’t know her prognosis this time with this being the second occurrence in the left eye.

Our patient received an injection of antibiotics, is taking oral anti-inflammatory meds and is receiving two different eye drops several times each day. She is not a happy camper, especially as we are making her stay in the house. She will see Dr. Wiegard on Thursday for a re-check.

So that’s our most recent and expensive vet adventure. And though Dr. Neel was not in the office, she found out all about it on Tom’s Facebook page. She cannot escape the Kitties Blue crew even when she’s on vacation.

We know everyone is already purring and praying for Sawyer, but if you can add a few extra for Misty May, we know it would help.

Watch for an update on Friday.
