Is that pronounce “Our ICKS Lives” or some other way. (Kidding. And I say that because I know there are people who follow BCN who will take me seriously.)
Good morning and happy Tuesday/Bluesday, orbsters and orbabies. I think I’ll leave the heartthrob to you young’uns. I’m looking forward to see how the hostage/fake cheese exchange will work.
For those who don’t know, Kit is based on Patch from the soap Days of Our Lives a few decades ago. and he was hot too! not quite as hot as Bo, but still plenty hot! (I’m partial to dark haired men!)
Hey, guys!! I have a cat that has allergies and was chewing her fur to the point the vet said to have her wear t-shirts. Finally found out she had a skin condition and we were able to fix it with oatmeal baths. (Don’t worry, she loves her bath.) Anyway, I had gone a little crazy buying sweaters and shirts and hoodies. So, yesterday I was taking some food to the local shelter and took her wardrobe to donate. I wasn’t sure if they would accept. Boy, was I wrong!!! I was unaware of all the cold puppies and kitties. Please, if you want to do something wonderful, donate to your local shelter.
. . . has anyone ever heard of the program, “Keeping up with the Kattarshians”? I like TV spoofs with KITTENS! They are SO cute! If you have not seen this short program, promoting the adoption of cats, then watch this short intro:
“Big screen TV” reminds me of the time shortly after my family gave me a Kindle for a birthday present. I developed a bad case of bronchitis a few weeks later, and my youngest had a bad respiratory virus as well…we would lay in bed together with the covers over our heads, watching movies on the Kindle, or as we dubbed it, “The World’s Smallest Drive-In”
Managed to get two of the younger cats from the colony in for surgery today. (I posted pics on Discord for anyone who wants to see them.) Stormi is a super sweet natured baby. (She’s Dee’s littermate.) She let me pick her up & slide her into the carrier without a bit of argument. Harmony, on the other hand, has her mother’s temper. I had to lure her in with a can of tuna flavored cat food, then close the door quick. (I took them yesterday for an overnight stay.) As soon as the door closed, she lost it! That carrier was bouncing everywhere. Fingers crossed that they do well. Plus, one of the vet techs kept commenting on how gorgeous Harmony is & what a wonderful housecat she would make. Hopefully, she will decide she wants to keep my girl!
I like the near ‘Knight Rider’ vibe that Kit there seems to convey … But isn’t it weird that mice (lady mice, I know) seem to be that ‘into’ a cat in the first place? Maybe Mr. Chase is just that magnetic? :)
We often post sad stories about our kitties, here’s a happy one! My 14 year old alpha cat emeritus, Flynn, who has congenital heart problems that have turned into chronic congestive failure as he’s gotten older, had his checkup and blood work today to make sure his meds are working. He’s hyperthyroid, too. His results all came back normal and even his heart sounds were good, considering his history. What a nice Christmas present!
Anyone who is in touch with Shaunnmunn, please tell her we miss her and hope she will be back on BCN comments soon. It’s just not the same orb without Shaunnmunn!
Orbsters – some help, please? I drew the name of one of our nurses in the Secret Santa exchange. She has a desk here in the office but mostly works in the field and, consequently, no one in the office really knows much about her. I’ve exhausted the standard Starbucks card and candy, so I’m now out of ideas with three days still to go. $15ish spending limit (thought about a gift card to a local store where you can buy scrubs, but $15 won’t buy much there).

“Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang
Do-lang, do-lang…
He’s so fine
Wish he were mine
That handsome cat over there
The one with the wavy hair
I don’t know how I’m gonna do it
But I’m gonna make him mine
He’s the envy of all the mice
It’s just a matter of time.
He’s a soft purring guy
Kinda quiet and shy
Makes me wonder if I
Should even give it a try
But then he really can’t shy
He can’t shy away forever
And I’m gonna make him mine
If it takes me forever
He’s so fine
(Oh yeah!)
Gotta be mine
(Oh yeah!)
Sooner or later
(Oh yeah!)
I hope it’s not later
(Oh yeah!)
Gotta get together
(Oh yeah!)
The sooner the better
(Oh yeah!)
I just can’t wait, I just can’t wait
To be held in his fangs…” Et cetera :-)

Managed to get two of the younger cats from the colony in for surgery today. (I posted pics on Discord for anyone who wants to see them.) Stormi is a super sweet natured baby. (She’s Dee’s littermate.) She let me pick her up & slide her into the carrier without a bit of argument. Harmony, on the other hand, has her mother’s temper. I had to lure her in with a can of tuna flavored cat food, then close the door quick. (I took them yesterday for an overnight stay.) As soon as the door closed, she lost it! That carrier was bouncing everywhere. Fingers crossed that they do well. Plus, one of the vet techs kept commenting on how gorgeous Harmony is & what a wonderful housecat she would make. Hopefully, she will decide she wants to keep my girl!

The forum has gotten so long that i rarely get the opportunity to read it all any more.
My comics queue is long enough that i don’t always get through it during the day.
This is the first that i have heard that Shaunnmunn is missing.
Can someone enlighten me on what’s Up?

I think that “big screen TV” will have a dead battery very soon, unless Alice has also figured out how to wire the mousehole for electricity.
