Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Cruising cats: Storm update
Thanks for the purrs and other good vibrations. I just got of the phone with Jim on Genesis in Savannah, Georgia. The storm passed with about 5 inches of rain (over 2 days) and a lot of wind (about 30 mph) and a 9.5-foot tide. This is only about a foot higher than usual, so not bad. Genesis is fine, having shrugged off this storm as a weak imitation of what we've previous experienced in Texas. A boat came in on Monday about the time Jim returned from Atlanta. Later that evening, the man tripped and fell off the boat onto the cement dock and broke his wrist. Jim took him to a medical urgent care place because Jim was the only one at the dock with a car, having rented one for the drive to Atlanta. The man is scheduled to have surgery today. I bet he could use some healing purrs. Cinder and Rosie are out of incarceration. Jim picked them up late yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. Cinder was still a little woozy from the dental cleaning. They scraped the stuff off her teeth, but she did not have any bad teeth or need any extractions. She has a prescription for a liquid antibiotic that she needs to have every day for a week. I'll bet it's that pink stuff. Jim said he gave her a dose this morning and she protested, but then decided it was O.K. I'm glad he's the one who will be dosing her. She's got a mind of her own. The clinic people said they loved both our kitties. They said Rosie was one of the best cats they'd ever had there, and she even got a note the equivalent of a gold star written on her chart about wonderful she is. Jim said they were quiet during the car ride back to the marina. When he got them out of the car, the wind was blowing and it was raining, so they made some editorial comments as he walked them down to the boat. Once he got them onboard and out of the crates, they were fine and seemed relieved to be back. But all the excitement is not over. Some of Jim's Army helicopter buddies are coming in to visit. I expect that Cinder will demand to be admired and Rosie will endure. Annie, checking in from Oregon Yeah! I'm glad all is well. It had to be worrisome for a meowmie so far away. > Thanks for the purrs and other good vibrations. > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > Annie, checking in from Oregon So glad to hear the Genesis weathered the storm ok, Annie! What a relief! Sorry about the man who broke his wrist, but it's a good thing Jim was able to help out. Purrs for his wrist surgery. That's great about Cinder's dental. I hope all goes well for Vino too when I finally decide to take him in (probably when Dennis is next home). And what a good girl Rosie is, you must be so proud :-) I hope you're having a good visit in Oregon.  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I've very relieved to hear you guys (and your boat) rode out the storm well.

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk I really enjoy reading about the boat trip, Annie. Hope everything goes well with your family visit and that Jim and the furbabies can tolerate being without you for a while. God bless, and have a happy rest of the trip.

Purrs for the guy with the wrist operation and we're all glad that the owners and the Genesis (and Jim of course) came through the storm fine. As I write this, we are getting the tag end of the storm. It has been gusty with wind speeds between 17 and 34 MPH, I have no idea how much rain we got, but it was wet enough that we had to almost literally shove Speedy out the door to do his business this morning. For the first storm of the season, it isn't bad, but then I don't really want to experience a bad one. I'm spoiled. Pam S. glad everyone is ok. <snippety> > The clinic people said they loved both our kitties.

Glad to hear the cats are out of jail and that all went well. You must be so proud of Rosie! :o) Purrs for your boat neighbour's wrist. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for the man with the broken wrist and also for Cinder and Rosie, Polonca and Soncek |
