Cat news: An update on Mr. Silverman

April 7th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Cats

Here’s what Dr. Sakamoto said when she called me following the surgery: “Silverman’s had his last dental.” When I recounted the telephone call to a friend on the beach this morning, she looked stricken. Seeing her face, I realized I needed to clarify. Silverman is fine, or as fine as you can be after losing [...]

Feline Friday: High anxiety on this Good Friday

April 6th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Cats, Photographs

Poor Mr. Silverman. We were back at VCA for a check-up this week, and his remaining teeth are in bad shape. I guess diabetes can do bad things to your mouth, and in his case, it has. So I delivered him to VCA early this morning for dental surgery. No food after midnight. A half [...]

Feline Friday: Late but not forgotten

March 30th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Cats, Photographs

Mr. Silverman belatedly welcomes you to another Feline Friday. For those who don’t recall Silverman’s background…he moved in back in September 1999 while Meda and I were on the mainland for a week. When we got back home, there was this strange cat on the deck making himself right at home with our other cats. [...]

Feline Friday: Not a moment too soon!

March 16th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Cats, Photographs

Do you suppose Mr. Toby was dreaming about a new iPad? I guess I’ll have to keep track of my credit card this week to avoid unauthorized kitty purchases! In any case, it’s another Feline Friday and the Kaaawa Cats make another of their regular appearances. –> See all of this week’s Friday Felines!

Romeo’s YouTube video now past 406,000 views!

March 9th, 2012 · 3 Comments · Cats, Photographs

I think we have to get Mr. Romeo fitted for sunglasses so he can better act the part of the “star”! Last night, while I was trapped in a condo annual meeting that lasted almost six hours and had more ballots than a divided Republican convention, Mr. Romeo’s YouTube video counted its 400,000th view. By [...]

Feline Friday is here!

March 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · Cats, Photographs

346,795. That’s how many times Mr. Romeo’s “Wake up call” video has been viewed on YouTube as of just before 11 a.m. this morning, Hawaii time. He seems unconcerned about his spreading fame, although he has been slimming down from his former pudged-out profile. And he has finally got past the obsession with the stray [...]
