this little girl had a birthday yesterday

 and is now 84 cat years old, 17 in people years



Lola.

I thought of buying her (me) a cake to celebrate, but I really don't need the extra calories. 

I gave her half a can of tuna instead and the other half got mashed with mayonnaise and spread on my sandwich.

      The Happy Whisk; I always make sure to get the springwater tuna so she doesn't get any salt, since salt is not good for cats, they get kidney disease too easily.

      Linda's Relaxing Lair; she is beautiful and the vet always says "I can't believe she's this old".

      Val; she was stretching while changing position to continue her napping. I don't think she even knows what cake is.

      Margaret D; she is sweet, though it took us several years to get used to each other after I got her from the Animal Welfare, she was quite ill at the time and we battled through three years of different foods and treatments. Now she only sees the vet for her "manicure" three times a year. (claw trimming)

    17 years sound a long healthy lifetime to me, but perhaps I am thinking of dogs. How long do cats live on average?

    Happy birthday Lola, I the servant of cat Rosie have my birthday today ! Rosie is 19, I think that makes about 100 in cat years. She didn't want anything, for food she is a strange cat, she never eats anything else than the cat food ! no meat, no tuna, no chicken, she sniffs at it and then disgusted walks away !

Sunday Selections # 726

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

I thought this was worth sharing...

  In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...
