  • If These Guys Can Get Along … - June 20th, 2008
  • Okay, I know. Really crappy, badly backlit picture, I know. But the only camera I had within quick, easy reach was my iPhone.
    The point is, if Kiah the bird, and Darjha the cat can both happily relax on Donna at the same time, why can’t the supposedly "enlightened" and "intelligent" humans get along?
    Moments after [...]

  • Whither the Cats? - August 20th, 2007
  • I was reminded that we also haven’t written about the cats lately, so, here goes:
    My initial comment was that “I haven’t killed them yet,” which is true.
    Shadow continues to make great strides towards becoming a “normal” cat. Normal is in quotes for a reason — what exactly is a normal cat, anyway? He no [...]

  • Some Things I Haven’t Written About In A While … - August 17th, 2007
  • Kiah – The bird. Remember her? Shortly after we got her, I took her down to the avian vet for a check-out. It seemed to the vet that she was generally healthy, but, a bit under-weight. She weighed about 76 grams that day, and a bird her age should weigh at least 85 grams. Well, [...]

  • Geren, Kiah and Darjha - July 2nd, 2007
  • So, I’m sitting here in my office, working on the computer. Darjha is passed out on the floor next to me, and Kiah’s sound asleep on the perch.

  • Helluva Week - January 12th, 2007
  • It’s been a helluva week. I really don’t remember being this stressed in a while. I don’t even remember some days!
    I do know that our little government PEG channel, Howard County GTV, went on the air on Verizon FiOS in both Howard and Anne Arundel Counties today at 12:44PM. Our set up is not quite [...]

  • Cat From Hell - January 11th, 2007
  • I’m not sure what happened, but, literally over night, Shadow has gone from being an almost reasonable cat to the Cat From Hell. So far today, he’s actually attacked me twice. Drawn blood, even (and that, I really, really don’t like).
    Here’s the story.
    This morning, as I was scurrying around getting ready to go to work, [...]

  • Another cancer-kitty update… - November 15th, 2006
  • Smokey’s acting like his old perky self and we haven’t seen a seizure since last Friday. Some seizures can be caused by food allergies, and Mr. Smokey was getting bites of ham lunchmeat all last week as lunches were being made in the morning. (I’ve never seen a cat so absolutely nuts for [...]

  • Smokey update…again - November 10th, 2006
  • took the big guy back to the vet this morning. he had his ultrasound & aspiration on Monday, which showed the extent of the tumor. The cytology was inconclusive, but that means it’s not likely lymphoma, which shows up in a very clear way. Next option would have been to see the kitty oncologist/surgeon, for [...]

  • Smokey update - October 16th, 2006
  • Smokey (you remember, the balding cat?) doesn’t have FIP.  That’s the good news.  That bad news is we don’t yet know what he does have.  The skin biopsies should be back by the end of this week.  In the meantime, his personality has returned to very close to normal.  I guess the 2x/day dropper of [...]
