"The Human is up before I wanted to get up.  Gonna sit here and sulk about it." - Explorer the Cat.

Sulking is a dying art.  I can't even remember the last time i sulked.

Same here.  I pout more than I sulk.

"You're not going outside today. I'll just rest on this comfy puffy jacket." - Explorer the Cat.

Our oldest cat, Loudmouth, is not long for this world, I'm sad to say. Mrs. Prof was going to have him put down today, but due to complications in vet schedules, that won't happen until tomorrow. Loudmouth has been suffering from something upper respiratory for the past few months. He's lost a lot of weight and is coughing/sneezing up blood now. We've had tests done and have ruled out everything save some very nasty alternatives I'd rather not discuss. So, tomorrow afternoon, Loudmouth will be put down, followed by a necropsy and cremation. I'll post a memorial picture here once the deed is done.

He will be sorely missed.

[mlooney 3,417]

I'm so very sorry for you.

"I'm not in the way.  You haven't made tea yet, so you don't need this part of the desk.  I keep telling you that, why don't you remember?" - Explorer the Cat.

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

 

So long, Loudmouth. You will be sorely missed. We will remember you from better days.

[mlooney 3,417]

I'm so sorry for you.

It’s always sad to lose a long-beloved pet.

One of the hardest things I've had to do was take a cat to the vet to be put down. It wasn't my cat, the owner was gone, so I had been caring for it, and we bonded. It came back one day dragging it's crushed back end; it had been run over, likely by someone who thought they were being clever. The vet offered to let me leave, but I owned it to the kitty to stay with her so she wouldn't panic. She was gone a few moments after the injection.

I feel for you. I know it's tough.

"I'm really not in the way here.  Not gonna stay here, but I'm not in the way" - Explorer the Cat.

Ooo, the mega-butt warmer, nice!

Because I keep a lot of smallish items on the butt warmer, she doesn't sit on it very often.  When she does, items tend to fall off.

[Don Edwards 548]

I thought that was what cats are for - to make things fall off.

"So I'm in the way right now.  Just chill and wait a few then I'll move to my corner of the desk.  You know it's mine, I just let you put your tea mug there" - Explorer the Cat.

 

[mlooney 3,417]

"This is my spot.  I let you use it to keep your tea mug sometimes.  But it's my spot" - Explorer the Cat.

"Why is The Human waving his hand around?" - Explorer the Cat.

[mlooney 3,417]

"You didn't make the bed when your alarm for making the bed went off.  Too bad, wait until I get off of it. How does mid afternoon work for you?" - Explorer the Cat.

 

[mlooney 3,417]

"Chill.  I'm just resting here for a few minutes. By the time you have your tea is done." - Explorer the Cat.

"I think I like this box better on its side than upright.  So I knocked it off the chair and now I fits so I sits." - Explorer the Cat.

 

[mlooney 3,417]

"Gonna run around the house for a bit.  Might help The Human on the desk after awhile, but keeping my options open!" - Explorer the Cat.

The street sweeper just came by about 30 minutes ago, then returned for the other side of the street 10 minutes later.  Explorer freaked out both times.  Hid between the bed and the wall.  She's just now getting over it.

Talk about hearing aids in the medical thread remind me of my father.  With or without the hearing aids, he would often have selective deafness.  But the master of the art who taught the skill to my dad was his dog.  She could hear you perfectly, when she wanted.
