Saturday Surfing, July 20th, 2019

July 20th, 2019 by Karen 8 Comments

OK, cat ladies, brace yourself…

It’s officially kitten season.

The pet adoption application at the top is from the Marin Humane Society, and it doesn’t mean there’s going to be another kitty all up in the mix here anytime soon. I’m merely filling it out “just in case.”

Am I emotionally ready for another cat? I’m not sure, to be honest…but one of the lessons I’ve learned as an adult is that you’re never really ready for much, and I figure that since the Humane Society keeps applications on file for six months, if I keep my heart open, and if I’m lucky enough, Tabs will send me his purr-mission to provide pet assisting services to a new feline friend. 🐱

We’ll see.

Knowing me, I’ll probably come home one day with three cats, a dog and a rabbit…

I’m going to stop by later today to drop off my application and perhaps play with a kitten or two (gotta get my fix!), but first, it’s Saturday surfing time. 😄

    We have lost 3 cats in the last 14 years and in all cases, we got kittens within 2 months or less. Not saying that’s what you should do, everyone is ready in their own time, but it helped us to have a new little one to snuggle with. And laugh at. But my Fluffy, the first one who passed, was my Tabs and I still miss him something awful. Every cat is different and the new one you get will have a different personality than Tabs. But you’ll love him/her for themselves. Good luck, I know you’ll do this when you’re ready.

    Love Sting! Always have, always will. Shape Of My Heart is song perfection. Check out his guitarist Dominic Miller’s music sometime. He is amazing.

    The right kitty/kitties will find you when the time is right. I am certain.

    I’ve seen that pop of colour on the inner corner recently and I want to try that!

    Awe, well you’ll know when you’re ready for a new kittie, because you’ll fall in love and take one home LOL. K-sera. Just let it happen. 🙂

    My clumsy Mina Ballerina fell in the bathtub with me on multiple occasions but it never stopped her. Not long before she passed she went into our jacuzzi tub to lick bath water after my bath (lol) and got stuck because it was so deep and she was so chubby and clumsy. Zack had to rescue her 😹 When she was really little she’d try to drink out of the potty like the big kitty and fall in.

    We had to let our beloved Blaow go to cat heaven a couple of weeks ago. I grieved pretty hard, as in crying like a baby. 15 years of love and fun helps me smile when I think of him. I went to Pet Supermarket to return unused cat stuff and they had the most adorable kittens for adoption. The funny thing is they looked like Blaow! I was so happy to see them. I felt like Blaow was sending me a message. Since I’m retired and want to travel I’ll wait before getting another pet. But I can see how another pet could bring more love and fun to my home one day. You guys have a lot of love to give to a kitten/cat when the time is right.

    Your TJ’s is obviously much more interesting than mine, lol. I bought cheese (and Midsummer Night’s Cream!) there today and none of that happened.

    Ummm, excuse me with that orange on top, fuchsia on bottom lip!!! I love that! Says the person who went to TJ’s, Homegoods, and Joann Fabrics today with no makeup whatsoever. (I know, right? Who have I even become? I’m just that tired.)

    You will never love another cat the way you loved Tabs but I think getting another one will help fill the void. Our shelter is overrun with cats and kittens right now too. And my parents, who live out in the country, just had a stray cat wander in that someone probably dumped off, makes me so mad. On a happy note, we had a family get together today and it was so fun! Happy Caturday!

    Cats LOVE water – they just hate to get wet. We always put new kittens in our bathroom/walk-in closet when we first adopt them. They all were fascinated with the shower door & would watch the water running down the door. Either that or they were watching us shower 😂. Adoption advice – get a pair. We adopted 2 sisters and to this day they still snuggle and sleep together. So entertaining too when they were small

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
