Hearing Everybody Knows -- Concrete Blonde

She Lives!

Picture from Hometown

For reasons far too complicated to go into here, but which involve some recent, intemperate comments of mine about a certain professional sports organization with an ursine theme, I've been accussed of the sort of bad, bad person who would eat a kitten, and verily, my own kitten. To counter this terrible libel against my personal character, I present Ghlaghghee, just this morning returned from the vet, where she had her ovariohysterectomy (which, if one parses out the greek roots here, suggests that both her uterus and her ovaries were taken up and out). She's fine, although a little sluggish and tired -- which is of course to be expected. Let's see you be all full of zip after your reproductive organs are excised.

Anyway: Kitten is alive and undigested. Let the feline-snacking assertions end here and now.

Yes, the dog is fine too. Thanks for asking.

    Oh dear ... was scrolling down your journal page aimlessly petting the girl kitty on my lap. Then as our kitty looked up at the computer your kitty's picture came into focus. Man! Did that make our kitty jump. Ran from my lap faster than warm syrup off a pancake! Is your kitty like one of those Thunder Cats, or just into being real unsociable at the moment!??

    "That only proves that you didn't eat THAT kitten, what about the other two cats?"

    They've had long, productive lives. That's all I'm going to say.

    That's a happy looking kitten for having major surgery. Cats are amazing animals.

    Eh... proves nuttin' I don't see a newspaper or some other easily identifiable dated item to prove this picture is recent, so I'm going to assume this is just a coverup and your belly is filled with fur balls. Heheheheh... write on. ;-)
