Happy Caturday! Today we have a follow-up visit with two cats from reader Georgiana Y.:
I finally got a got photo of my new fur babies cuddling together, Storm is a long and sleek one year old house panther and Skye is an almost 5 month old kitten who is a little tornado of energy.
Happy Caturday! Skye is adorable and Storm is such a pretty panther!
Haven’t been around much the last couple days…had a minor medical procedure Thursday morning, which went fine, but I couldn’t keep food down for the rest of the day. Don’t know if it was just the anesthesia or that combined with the fact that I went into it with a migraine. Ended up staying over at my parents’ house. Yesterday when I woke up I still had a headache but I at least felt like I could maybe eat something. Just gonna take it easy (and do some laundry) this weekend.
Hope you feel better soon! Poor kitteh! Even got the Mickey Mouse ears to join the Club. No tasty meeces!
Oh Allein! In spite of the aftermath, it sounds like your procedure went well. So that’s good.
I haven’t had too many procedures that required anaesthetic, but I do remember one in my 20’s where the anaesthetic made me quite ill the following day.
Georgiana! Love love love the kittles. Awww. So sweet together. 💕 My two fave colors!
I have no real attachment to the monarchy but the death of the queen has left me oddly taken aback. Like a suddenly missing piece! She’s been there my entire life (65!). And I loved her Corgies!
Have a good weekend peeps!
I think the last time I had anesthesia was when I had my wisdom teeth out, almost 30 years ago! I didn’t have this kind of reaction to it (the painkillers they gave me were another story, but at least I could just stop taking them, which I did after two doses; I didn’t have too much pain, anyway).
I too am saddened at the Queen’s death. She was around all my life too (58). 70 years on the throne is amazing.
I read yesterday that when she became queen Winston Churchill was prime minister. Newly appointed PM Liz truss and Churchill were born 101 years apart (1874 and 1975).
Oh God, perspective can be shocking sometimes!
Speaking of God, I saw this tweet “from God” the other day…
“I saved her as long as I could”.
Many people find it humorous (as I believe it was intended to be) but many go “awww”.
Also, that makes Liz Truss the same age as me (she’s just over two months older) which…😳…I mean, I’m certainly not old enough to be in charge of a country!
Hee hee Allein! I feel the same way. But then again I could probably do better than some leaders?? Uh. Then again I wouldn’t want to try!
And maybe the most disconcerting thing for me might be that there will now be someone else’s face on my money! I’m sure I will do a double take once that comes down…🤣
I read that he will face the opposite direction on the new currency.
Sending you big purrs and virtual hugs. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself–trying to power through will just cause more trouble later.
And HAHAHAHAHA at this meme!
I hope you get better soon, Allein!
Definitely get some fluids and rest.
They’re gorgeous! And probably keep you on your toes Georgiana, plus well entertained. ‘m sitting here with a lap full of puppies slowly getting my day started.
Feel better Allein. I’m like you and not doing much. Getting a haircut today and besides running a few errands that will probably it. Too tired, and too warm anything else. Besides the hot weather (which continues), we now have a tropical storm off Baja Mexico which is giving my area rain and humidity. It’s like they relocated SoCal to the tropics. And I still have no A/C. We haven’t seen rain since who knows and of course it decides to pour the day the tech is scheduled to come out. At least they called to reschedule early enough that I didn’t sit at home wasting 5 hours. “Only” 3 more days to wait. So frustrating!
Oh, also I got a 5% coupon from Adagio teas for my upcoming birthday so I’m doing a little shopping while I drink my mocha hot chocolate.
And my prints from the David Zinn store came yesterday, so I need to put them in their frames and figure out where to hang them. (I have six frames so I still need to find something for the other three.)
I got “Nadine and the Chartreuse Respite”
“An Evening of Adventure”
and “Nadine and the End of the Tunnel”.
I also had “Nadine and the Reading Palms” in my cart but it disappeared because it sold out before I finally decided what I wanted to order, but now it’s back.
Love all of those!
Wow! I need to do some shopping!
I’m going to have to check out that store. I do follow him on Instagram, but I don’t check it very often.
Love the Nadine reading series. Would be perfect for me.
Georgiana, your kitties are adorable!
The weather has finally cooled down in my area, so I have some energy and am contemplating my fall cleaning. It might be a bit on the warm side today, but at least the nights are cool.
Love those prints!!
You made superlative choices for your art collection! Thanks for sharing them! If I didn’t already have too much for my walls, I’d rush over to check out Zinn’s store.
BTW, if anyone has any suggestions for where to look for inexpensive prints for the other three frames I have…(they’re 8×10). I was thinking maybe nature photos or something like that.
Hope you feel better soon ALLEIN.
AJ I hope you get your AC pronto and you’re absolutely right Skye and Storm do keep me on my toes. As an example, we thought we lost Storm last night, see before bed I was giving some treats to Skye and Minnie and Storm didn’t come like she always does. I asked my husband if she was sleeping in the bedroom, he went to check and said she wasn’t there. We started looking all through the house and couldn’t find her and I was starting to panic that she escaped when my husband went out earlier to look at the stars.
As a last resort I went to check the bedroom myself and there she was sleeping under the bed with a paw sticking out. You see my husband doesn’t like lights so he never turns on the big ceiling light so he was looking in a DARK bedroom for a BLACK CAT 🤨
I hope everyone has a good weekend.
That’s hilarious, Georgiana! So glad you found Storm safe and sound.
House panthers are very tricksy. Scorpius does the same sorts of things to me.
They are just gorgeous! I’m so glad you have youngsters in the house, after losing Beans.
I remember my beloved Felix cat, a completely white kitty hiding on a white shopping bag.
I passed him at least 100 times while looking for him when the white shopping bag suddenly blinked at me…
15 minutes of cute animals for when you are stressed…

Okay the little Hottot bunny who supposedly could surf had 2 other amazing tricks!🥰
The pup who waited and waited and did not eat the treat until the human came back in the room and gave the OK. The intense focus and discipline! I don’t think I would play like that with a pup
It’s the weekend, and the last day of hot weather here. Unfortunately, we also have forest fire smoke, which has me coughing badly.
Georgiana, Storm and Skye are beautiful. And that is definitely a very long arm. The whapping factor at your place must be off the charts.
FIL going in for minor surgery, to clear a bladder blockage. I’m feeling rather apprehensive about it.
Have a good weekend, everyone. Stay safe.
Storm and Skye complement each other very well. They’re so striking together!
I need to get off my couch to go grocery shopping, but can’t seem to work up the energy. The 4-day work week felt super busy and I just want to veg. However, it’s the last weekend before my trip to Chicago for a wedding: I have to finish my outfit for the big day, embroider more names on the ring bearer’s pillow, and decide on other outfits. You never know what the weather is going to do in Chicago, adding to the fun!
Then there’s the usual chores, more unpacking (no, I’m still not done), and trying to sell a bunch of stuff via Craigslist. Hmmm. Maybe it will be a relief to get away for next weekend.
Hugs to you all. Don’t let the heat get you down! We’ve got cloudy, rainy, cool weather here for a few more days, after a long spell of near-100 temps.
Storm and Skye are so beautiful. Storm looks so shiny!
Gorgeous picture of gorgeous cats on a gorgeous quilt
Storm and Skye are gorgeous!
Sympathy and strength to those who need it, for whatever reason.
I’m a bit burned out with work—don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have work, but I’ve been going full tilt since January and I’m not as young as I used to be … as Elizabeth’s death reminds me. I was in England for her Silver Jubilee. I was in Edinburgh when Diana was killed. I seem to have lived through a lot of history …
I have mixed feelings about the relevance of the British monarchy today, but I wish Charles well. He’s inherited a very difficult position. Money isn’t everything, and his actual powers are constitutionally extremely limited.
