cattywumpus the cats have something to say tuesday january 22 2019 we re baaaack i m sorry to have been away for so long much has happened one big sad event was the loss of skootch i dearly loved my old kitty he was over 18 years old and i just couldn t bring myself to write or blog about it perhaps at some point i will do a skootch tribute which he richly deserves i went through a lot of changes in my life even before losing the kitty i still have louie and wilbur and they are wonderful kits they keep me company and they keep me on my toes the best thing to happen in my life has been my exploration of ceramics about 4 years ago i started taking clay classes and i became addicted to going to the clay studio i started out by doing lots of cat imagery on my dishes surprise surprise and i have now expanded my imagery to include other animals coyotes rabbits antelope and jaguars and have expanded my forms to include bowls sculpture and vases i now have a ceramics web site which i will list as a link on this site i will try to start posting again here as time permits louie and wilbur still have quite a lot to say posted by ann boyajian at 3 55 pm 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cat humor cat illustration silly cats thursday october 27 2016 louie s gotcha day yes today was louie s gotcha day i didn t exactly ignore him he insisted on either sitting in front of the computer screen or plopping himself on my lap as i worked he s kind of a large lump but i love him dearly and wished him a happy day as soon as i post this i am going to throw him and wilbur a gotcha party with plenty of fresh nip from our neighbor lynn s nip patch posted by ann boyajian at 5 14 pm 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday january 13 2016 three bad kittehs three bad kittehs is right so skootch peeing on the rug was very upsetting i recently had to have all of my rugs cleaned that particular rug carried extra emotional meaning since it had belonged to my dear parents for a number of years skootch had been on prozac for inappropriate marking behavior when lucy was alive i had gradually weaned him off of it and it had been a couple of years of no marking but that has come to an end obviously skootch is now back on prozac louie is determined that i get up when he is ready and he has been quite successful in dismantling the lampshade on my lovely grandfather s cloisonne lamp it is on the other side of the room from the bed so i have to get out of bed and chase him away from it at that point he jumps onto the warm spot of the bed that i had just vacated purring and showing me his soft belly normally wilbur is the good kitty in the morning he lets louie do all the bad stuff but i think he was inspired by louie s shenanigans and decided to get in on the fun posted by ann boyajian at 9 53 am 19 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday december 18 2015 mom s been busy yup i ve been busy last summer i got a big book project right after wilbur s bat encounter then i traveled when i came back i had to finish the book when that was done i dove back into clay projects had to make plates for the holiday sale now that s over time to blog and catch up i ve really missed my bloggie friends really missed all of you i will try to catch up as best i can posted by ann boyajian at 3 06 pm 16 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels catching up thursday july 16 2015 catching up 4 as i sat in the kitchen with my crossword i became aware of an odd ticking clicking sound kind of like a cricket i looked into the dining room and saw wilbur playing with something then i realized it was a critter and then i realized it was a bat i shrieked and scared wilbur away the poor bat was injured it tried to fly but it could only hop i scooped it into a box and tossed it out the door into a bush then i called the vet i didn t know if wilbur had brought it down or one of the other cats if it had bitten him if it was rabid the vet said that since louie and skootch had both had their rabies shots that week they were protected but since wilbur hadn t gone in and had his shots he had to be in quarantine for six months for an indoor cat that s what i call a pass but they told me to observe him for any abnormal behavior and not to let him bite his brothers hah he bites skootch almost daily so there i don t think the bat was rabid but those are the rules i even got a follow up call from the state department of health and in six months i have to bring him to the vet to get his shots great i can t wait posted by ann boyajian at 2 52 pm 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday june 21 2015 catching up 3 i had been dreading wilbur s trip to the vet sure enough he proved too wily and determined for me in between each attempt at loading he would run away and hide i would coax him out with treats and toys and i still couldn t get him in during the third attempt he drew blood and i admitted defeat i called the vet and cancelled his appointment posted by ann boyajian at 11 08 am 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels sassy wilbur sunday june 14 2015 catching up 2 louie and i had a very noisy ride to the vet unfortunately it s a half hour drive he got an a from dr jeff got his shots and back we went to the house my plan was to swap out louie for wilbur in the cat carrier and then immediately return to see dr jeff i know it seems like a ridiculous amount of driving when i could have combined taking the two cats at the same time but i had taken them both before when they were younger and not as strong and i couldn t face loading them into carriers at the same time posted by ann boyajian at 3 31 pm 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels louie vet visit trauma saturday june 13 2015 playing catch up we are going to have to play catch up first this new look is my new graphics tablet i am going to try to do some posts with it as you can see my first attempt looks a bit primitive and i now have a cramp in my hand from clutching the pen anyway this week was cats to the vet week first came skootch who is a dream to load into the carrier and a fairly good traveler well he can t meow so that s part of it dr jeff was impressed with his overall health he is an eldercat and his blood work was very good the groomer said he was a very good boy for her i left feeling relieved and pleased plus he has always been frail so for him to have gained half a pound was a big deal two days later came louie i decided to take louie and wilbur separately as they are not easy to load or to travel with they were scheduled for the same morning 2 different appointments posted by ann boyajian at 11 02 am 13
