*****Official (??) June 2014 Thread -- Party Like It's Hot!*****

[MOpGrad2013]

Bad news: I think my oldest cat has died. She's 17 years old and is generally an indoor cat. Sometimes she sneaks out and lays on the deck. She can't jump or climb anymore so the 6 foot fence keeps her in. Well, she is not in the house anywhere and she is not answering our calls. The dog has alerted at the barn (shed), but we can't get under there. I am hoping hoping hoping that she somehow got through a wood slat and ended up in a neighbor's garage. On top of her age, she has some dementia and incontinence. Did not sleep good at all because I kept doing checks--where can a cat hide?

Meanwhile, DH's grandmother was taken to the hospital again last night. They believe another stroke. She is 91 years old and has Parkinsons and congestive heart failure. She fell a couple of weeks ago and broke her shoulder so she has been in nursing home for some rehab.

We are expecting the worst in both cases. But also accepting that life must go on.

FelineVintage--Our younger cat was also feral. Her mother was killed by some dogs and DD raised her. Little girl was 4 weeks old when she came to live with us. She is now 12 years old, but no one believes we have a second cat. It takes alot for her to come out and say hello. She tends to get on the bed with visitors while they are sleeping and leave a tuft of fur by their faces.

Enjoy your trip over here!

CAT FOUND and alive !!

She seems to have suffered some hearing loss because she is not answering. She is drinking and eating fine. She was in a closet, but we had checked it several times. So grateful. I would upload a picture for you to see, but I have technology issues.

She's a Calico Himalayan. Both our babies are calico. The youngest is short hair and sheds so much more than the oldest.

Ok, I can finally eat something. Then I am going to clean this house.

Great day at MK yesterday, except for lots of rain. Cancelled the Festival of Fantasy parade:-( But we had fabulous dining : bkfst at Crystal Palace and dinner at BOG! Have heard a lot of mixed reviews about the latter, but we loved it : the food, the atmosphere, the Beast (who is absolutely huge!). Only downside was the very dry/ crisp brownie underneath the Grey Stuff. And we saw the Celebrate the Magic Castle projection show which was amazing! Bonus for DDs was getting to ride 7DMT during EMH, wait went down to 30 minutes :-D

The question is where CAN'T a cat hide, even when they're old and frail! I'm glad she showed up.

I got my Betty when she was 4-5 months so there was always a chance I'd never get to touch her but I always knew she's an absolute soft sweetheart and if I did win her trust she'd be putty. I was right! The other two have very clear no go zones when being fussed, although Chilli doesn't mind so much she'd rather you didn't. Betty on the other hand couldn't care less where I touch, she's too busy enjoying the attention!

Now I'm counting the hours until I can check-in online for my flight, all antsy

No kidding, my 24 hours is in about 1 hour 40 minutes. I did SW Early Bird, since I am at work (it's lunch now) and I couldn't be sure to be uninterrupted. Anxious to see what boarding numbers we got.

Otherwise, trying to tie up as many loose ends as possible at work. It's kind of hard for me to be gone. I'm in a pretty good position right now though, so there's not much that can't wait until my return.

Oh my goodness, MOpGrad2013, I'm glad kitty turned up!

 

[Dreamport]

MOpGrad2013, I'm so glad your cat is okay and will be thinking of your DH's Gran. kalee45 it sounds like a great day to me! We're in the teens now. I'm not doing a dang thing to pack until we find out DSis' schedule for that week. Good news is hopefully some new recruits are being trained soon.

 

[bjscheel]

Just quick checked on our SW boarding numbers for tomorrow. I just checked DH and he has A25 & A23 for our two legs going down there. So we did pretty good. Now to make sure we're paying attention. Last time we flew SW we had a B number but were chatting with someone and ended up boarding with the C's because we weren't watching for B's.

Hooray for you!

I just want to say thank you so much for the good thoughts for our baby girl and Grandma. Silly cat doesn't even know why I am hugging on her so much, but she'll lick up the attention.

Start packing, team. Our holiday is here!

For those who have a bit longer to wait, keep watching youtube videos. DS3 said "NO turn off" to the Tiki Tiki Room. Guess DH is going in there alone.

My college started summer session today and I'm already overwhelmed Chemistry just isn't ever going to be my thing! But I did meet a nice lady in class who is currently in the army but before she joined was a pastry chef at the Swan & Dolphin! Disney is definitely my thing! 12 more days, I think I can make it!

 

[rainydayplay]

My youngest was a feral and it's taken nearly two years of work to get her to love being fussed by me but she will have nothing to do with any other humans. I'm hoping she gains a little bit of confidence in that respect having someone else here for two weeks. No-one but me has ever seen her in the flesh!

I had a cat before that wouldn't have anything to do with anyone except me, but he was a house kitty before I got him.


MOpGrad2013, so glad your kitty was found! My timid kitty got out of the house and was scared and wound up running off, never to be seen again. When I moved back home, we wound up with a couple of porch kitties. The big one doesn't care who touches him or how, but there's a move coming up and I'm worried about how both will take it.

You WILL be able to study this Chemistry and soar with it. You are stronger than you think. Don't let others make you question what you are doing.

DD will be taking the HS Chemistry over the summer so that in August she will be ready to take on the Advanced Placement course next year. I am hoping she will be handed some online resources for the summer. If she gets them and you want me to, I will post or PM them to you.
