Yeah, the angle of the dangle can be worrying...Feb 17, 2020:
Fuzz Aldrin about to make a moon landing...

One small squat for Krista...
(Don’t worry, I knew when to stop the camera and fetch the Bissell.)

This is why that crooked tail always worried me.
That tail told a tale. If I saw it like that, I was either grabbing her to move her to cat jail or grabbing a litter box to rush under her before she squatted. But I guess this one time I wanted to capture that moment for prosperity?Yeah, the angle of the dangle can be worrying...
Well, yeah, it certainly looks that way. Looks like something I'd do.That tail told a tale. If I saw it like that, I was either grabbing her to move her to cat jail or grabbing a litter box to rush under her before she squatted. But I guess this one time I wanted to capture that moment for prosperity?
Yeah, there's a rude cliche about that, that you probably know.What always baffled me is that's her food plate that she's squatting next to. Why poop so close to your food? If she turned around, I'm sure there was a litter box in the front room on the other side of her buffet line.
I don't think she was having cognitive issues. She seemed to be a clever girl right to the end. Urgency maybe. But she would sit there for a minute with the her poop flag flying (the crooked tail.) Sometimes I could chase her to a box. Sometimes I could get one next to her and she'd reluctantly use it, "oh alright." It was just a great mystery to me. Out of all the square footage she could have chosen, she chose next to her food.Yeah, there's a rude cliche about that, that you probably know.
Well, it could be urgency, or it could be that she was having some cognitive issues, or both. But as unhappy as it may be, in retrospect, without this, we would not have Fuzz Aldrin, Poopernaut.
As has been said by someone or another who was very wise, "One never knows with cats, do one?" (Actually, it's just "One never knows, do one?" attributed to Fats Waller. But a lot of us cat lovers attach the "with cats" because, well, one never knows!) A lady such as Krista never tells her secrets.I don't think she was having cognitive issues.

In other news, I saw Buddy/OC in the window of my neighbor the other day while I was driving out for something. It was just a brief glance over. But I saw an orange cat in the window.
And the bed seems to be working out without the topper. Finally! I didn't think I would like the bed that firm. But I think it's just what I needed. We shall see this weekend. I am looking forward to sleeping in and watching cartoons on Boomerang until one end or the other says I need to get up.
AOC was/is a her. She's in the neighboring apartment community. I have not been back there since September when I tail-gated my way through the gate to go looking for OC. It was that weekend that OC's current guardian, my neighbor, rescued him and got him chipped and snipped. Thinking about my neighbor, she did a good thing for him. She already had her limit on cats and took one more in. Except for the month or so that they were feuding, I'd say she's doing right by him. It's crazy that he was literally a day or two away from going down to the shelter. I was planning to take him down that Monday. The neighbor took him off the "streets" that Saturday before.As has been said by someone or another who was very wise, "One never knows with cats, do one?"

I was thinking of OC and also AOC (him, not her) this morning. Very glad to hear OC was viewed through a window. Progress, I hope!
Sounds like a good plan for the weekend. I like Ren & Stimpy and Spongebob, myself. Also Peg + Cat and Daniel Tiger.
Oh, I stand (or in this case, sit) corrected -- it should be, "Not her -- the other her!" ) Are you positive? The face looks like this cat could be male. And 75% or more of orange cats are.

Since it's Boomerang, it's traditional Saturday morning cartoons: Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Scooby Doo.
This is the first and last time I saw AOC.
Pretty sure. I looked at the rear view but didn't flip her.Oh, I stand (or in this case, sit) corrected -- it should be, "Not her -- the other her!" ) Are you positive? The face looks like this cat could be male. And 75% or more of orange cats are. Male.
Really glad about OC/Buddy. *I wonder what his name IS.*
Well, those are good, too...hope you enjoy in comfort!
Yes, I know this sayingWell, it is a popular saying that cats make a house a home. This has always been true for my family and for me.
This is what I was curious about. So, your cats will inherit your home? That's interesting. It seems it's legal in many parts of the world, but here in Italy, where you can't leave the entirity of your possessions to someone who is not family.As for legality, in USA at least, you can consult with an attorney who is well versed in animal law and ensure that your estate is passed to your cats. It is entirely legal.
Those are her timed feeders. Or “the shoes” as I sometimes called them. Because that’s what they look like to me. Because of the steroids and the lymphoma, she was hungry all the time. The feeders helped me keep up without having to plate every meal—which was every three to four hours day or night. She would get acid barfs if she had to go much longer than four hours.You didn't let a day pass with taking a photo of your Krista. You did a great job, I'm not that consistent.
What are those two "aliens" in the second picture?
Such a beauty! And I love her sweet, ladylike voice and purrings.And this is the earliest video I have of her from a digital camera (back before phones did it all.) This is also from the first months I had her. There was no break-in period. She loved me from the moment we met at the shelter. But then she loved all people. She was more dog than cat in that respect. Any knock at the door and she came running to answer it and greet whoever was behind it.

I've been working on a Krista Sounds video. But I can't remember where I found that video or where it is stored. That's the one video I want to include before I wrap up production and put it on YouTube.Such a beauty! And I love her sweet, ladylike voice and purrings.

Okay. I just realized I can save that video from a right-click menu. Uploaded to Google Drive. This evening I will figure out how to get it from Google Drive into my Camera Roll. Maybe this weekend I'll finally have the Krista Sounds video ready.
