Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006Luthien & Muezza.Glorio
Just a little update on the wee ones who are not so wee any more! Luthien has been on Tapazole for severe hyperthyroidism since August and is tolerating it well. She had been a nice round 12 pounds once upon a time, but by the time she got diagnosed she was down to 6.25 pounds poor thing I could feel every blade of bone along her vertebrae. But now the fat pads are finally filling in and she is currently weighing in at 7.6 pounds. That's ~1.5 pounds over three months or so. So I am very relieved that she is heading in the right direction. However, she has one little problem. Muezza.Glorio, who is not even five months old yet, tipped the scales at 8.2 pounds, and is thoroughly enjoying throwing his weight around....particularly at her! I guess she provides him more sport than a little stuffed mousie, but sheesh! Plan of attack: TED next week, schedule him an ASAP nicking. (old yorkshire farming term for bloodless castration of calves....been reading Herriot again). Perhaps it will get that smirk off his face!! He's so sweet to me, but he really loves persecuting poor Luthien! --tension Hmm..... Awfully quiet here. [crickets] > Just a little update on the wee ones who are not > so wee any more!

Most of my cats have had names related to Lord of the Rings, going back many years before anyone thought of doing the movies, and Glorfindel was a heroic elf from those books. The kitten is black in certain lights, and dark, sable brown in other lights, and in the right angle, you can see definite tiger stripes on him too. He looks like he has a somewhat Abyssinian physique, and I have read that the Prophet Mohammed of Islam had a favorite cat which was an Abbysinian, and the name was Muezza. This cat was sleeping on the sleeve of his robe, one day, and the story goes that when he had to get up and leave, rather than disturb the cat, he cut off the sleeve of his robe and went about his business as the cat slept on undisturbed. I like that story, so now we have a Muezza. But my five year old daughter insists on calling him Baby Glorio, and every time I tried to type just Muezza.Glorio see? I can't do it without adding Glorio!! So I guess he named himself, or something. --tension tension_on_the_wire skrev: > > Why is he called Muezza.Glorio? > > You might have told this before, I do not always have time to read [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > --tension Thank you. And now ... How do you pronounce Muezza? Elisabet > tension_on_the_wire skrev: > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > And now ... How do you pronounce Muezza? > Elisabet Well, I'm not exactly sure how it might be pronounced in Arabic, which I assume is the original language, but my guess is it's either Mwezza, or Mooezza. We tend to say Mwezza. --tension >> tension_on_the_wire skrev: >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > but my guess is it's either Mwezza, or Mooezza. > We tend to say Mwezza. And here I was thinking it would be pronounced "Mooetsa" like in Italian. How wrong can you be? :-( Tweed > >> tension_on_the_wire skrev: > >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > And here I was thinking it would be pronounced "Mooetsa" like in Italian. > How wrong can you be? :-( No doubt following it with a name like Glorio must have made it sound like an old latin music notation...you know.... Mooettza.Glorio.Fortissimo!!! I even have to close my fingers together to get the right emphasis! 8^P --tension |
