"GET MEOW-OUTTA THIS THING"!!

Uploaded: September 28, 2010

Description

Thought this would be a funny entry for the MT! My sweet little Heidi had a surgery 2 weeks ago, and she had been in this thing the whole time, bless her little heart!!
She has been a real trooper and gets to take it off for grooming and the like. She got used to it the first day. In this image, she is just yawning. I call her my little satellite dish. LOL!! Taken indoors with flash, cropped, clonned, adjusted curves, contrast and saturation. Thanks for looking:) *MT*

Exif: F Number: 3.2, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/90 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, ISO: 140, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 21.20 mm, Model: KODAK Z740 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA

When I saw this one and hadn't opened it yet my thoughts were "PLEASE tell me this was entered into the MT!!!"

YES! SO GLAD! This one SCREAMS to go on to more rounds! :D

Our Kitty Lucky-Boy had to wear one this summer, too. 6 days. His eye got scratched by our other cat during an "exchange!" while we weren't around!!! Hehe! "Your Satellite dish!" Cute Laura! :))) VERY PERFECT for the MT!

GREAT LUCK in the next rounds!

ROFL! This is great!! My Ally got one when she was spayed, but she had such short legs she kept falling over it, so I had to cut it down a bit so she could get around. #8936191

Poor little Heidi! She may just be yawning, but I know she's got to be miserable in that huge thing! Anyway, this is a terrific theme entry, Laura.

Heidi reminds me of my dilute tortoishelle cat, Babe. Torties are known to be tempermental, but Babe's the sweetest cat ever! #8937947

Hi Sam! Thanks for stopping by. Heidi had her stiches removed on Monday, and Dr. said we could take the hood off today, but she scratched the site too much (side of her face) and she irritated it. So back on it goes. Ugh!! I am surprised at how well she gets around, eats, sleeps and jumps up on the chairs. Thanks again, Laura:) #8937952

Laura E. Swan level-classic September 29, 2010

HA! Laura, Tell them about Day ONE and TWO with that thing on! Now THAT is comical and sad at the same time! #8937954

Mark Dodge September 30, 2010

Very funny! Great MT entry. Hope your sweetie is doing better, and thanks for the big smile this morning. Best of luck! #8939104

Laura L. Gonzales level-classic September 30, 2010

LOL EM!! You are so right! It WAS very comical, and when I had to put a wrap on her hind foot to keep her from scratching.....She was shaking the foot, her head ect. What a sight! Bless her heart:) We will both be glad when that comes off!


Thanks Mark! Glad it made you smile. So nice to meet you. Thanks for the great comments and for stopping by. I must say though, you have an awesome gallery! Thanks again Emmy and Mark!! Have a supper day:) #8940269

Laurea- I know we should'nt laugh at their misfortune but it is funny to watch them. Got such a kick out of your story and got my day off with a good laugh. Am glad Heidi is taking it like a trooper and wish her a speedy recovery. Wonderful picture of her.
Have a fantastic day my friend. #8940783

Hi Paddy!! Thanks for asking! Been well, but had some clean up to do on my computer. Had to transfer pics to another drive, and clear some old files that I didnt know I needed to and never have. Took several days, but gained around 15gb of space, and I really needed it. I am SO not a computer person, LOL! It is all done now. Yeah!! Thanks again for asking, you are too kind:)) Blessings~~~~Laura #8952555
