Other Cool Things

After I moved Limpy into my office, Gray stopped coming into the room for her nightly desk nuzzle time. With Limpy now moved to Florida, Gray finally figured out that nuzzle time is safe again. Last night:        

Limpy has been spending his days in the yard, nestled in the tall grasses. He seemed to enjoy this. At dusk, I have been bringing him into my office, to spend the night. Weeks ago he made it clear that he did not like the ‘house’ I created for him across the room from where…

I am quite thrilled…teary-eyed, actually…to report that the huge hole in Limpy’s neck has closed up! This means that the infection (a likely cat bite) has drained, and healing is fully underway. His entire neck and upper chest are now devoid of fur, and fresh pink skin is much in evidence. Based on experience, this…

    Limpy is on the mend, bite-wise. His neck wound grew ever-terrifying, and most of the surrounding hair fell out. But, the hole in the skin, which grew and grew, suddenly started shrinking and is now smaller than it was in the beginning. I expect that it will close up soon. Tomorrow, he will…

Young people have no idea who Cary Grant is. The actor, who died in 1986, was one one the most elegant and sophisticated of actors to grace the silver screen. Today, I wondered if Limpy is the reincarnation of Grant. Since his most recent…trauma…Limpy has been living in my office. He will likely live out…

With the introduction of Limpy into my life two months ago, my life shifted. From Day 1 of Limpy into my daily routine, my schedule has revolved around the poor dear. I ever check that he is OK. I fret about him. I spend time with him. “You’re such a good boy! And sooooo handsome!”…

Called the vet this morning and described Limpy’s condition. “It obviously an abscess that expressed. That’s normal. I’ll give you some medicine, and wash the area with soap and water for a few days. Cats self-heal really well. There’s no need to bring him in.” So…OK! He’s still scarfing down food, and today he has…

This is a political post. If interested, please scroll down.                                     Do you know how many hearings there were on the Banghazi tragedy? One? Two? Four? Maybe, I dunno, eight? Nope. I had thought there were ten. Nope….

WARNING: This is a powerfully disturbing post. No, Limpy is not dead. But, he’s gotten much, much worse. This post will be gross to read. Proceed at your own risk.   It has been a shocking day. I woke, and went to the fenced yard to feed the cats. Limpy was not in his little…

When I got up this morning, I was surprised to find that Limpy’s box on the deck was empty. I looked around, and saw that he had dragged himself into the tall grasses. As I approached, I also realized that he had, ahh, done his morning business nearby. This is what I get for waking…

A few weeks ago I posted about a very old, very injured stray cat I found in my yard. His left, rear leg was useless, and his right, rear leg was barely functioning. Something very bad had obviously happened, and the healed-over scar tissue on his legs was obvious. How he had managed to find…

So, y’all know that I got a blood clot in my left calf, and need to keep it elevated. Here, New Kitty is assuring me that everything is gonna be OK:      

Recently, I did a post about a stray cat with injured back legs. The left leg is useless. The cat can use the right leg but it is obviously an effort. I named the cat Limpy. The vet said it appeared to be tendon damage rather than broken bones. I asked if anything could be…

In 1992, a disastrous fire broke out at Windsor Castle, causing tens of millions in damage. A lot of people said it could not be rebuilt. But…it was. Under-budget and ahead of schedule. And with nary a cent of taxpayer monies. While people, understandably, focus on the royal family, what amazes me…and thrills me…is the…

So, y’all know that about three weeks ago I developed a blood clot in my left calf, which hugely swelled up. I was put on blood thinner (I keep wanting to write paint thinner), and the days passed. This past week my ankle and foot also swelled up, scarily. So, another trip to the emergency…
