OUR KITTEN KEATS became FUJI (the stray cat)

Our Kitten Keats must have strayed some from home, actually she was a very friendly cat and loved 

people. This story is in past tense since we have not seen Kitten Keats since September 7, 2025.

Here is a current picture of Kitten Keats

                                           K. Keats alias FUJI

Here is a picture of Kitten Keats with her brother Jethro. Both cats are tabby's, and I am very fond of 

this picture of them lounging on a pillow.

I knew Kitten Keats either had an accident, was shot at by a BB gun, a taser or was attacked by a swarm 

of bees or re-inherited her original flea infection.  Bruno my roommate brought her home when she was 

small, barely weaned.  She was infested with fleas as a new born, since mom was probably not that 

well  taken care of by her owners.  I had to keep Kitten Keats contained in the bathroom. I spent time 

combing the fleas out but prior to getting to that task, I gave her a bath.  As she got older she put her 

paw down and scratched the heck out of me when I tried to rinse the soap off in the tub.

Keat's was  Bruno's favorite cat. He adored her and he gave her special attention above the other three 

cats we had at home.  

friend used to come in through the kitchen window.  The last time I saw her, I noticed she was injured on her

 shoulder. It was a big wound, it looked as if someone shot her with a B-B gun.  I took off her flea collar

 and was ready to examine her injury.  I turned my back and she jumped on the kitchen counter and

 stood in the window. She looked at me with sad eyes. We connected and it was as if she was saying 

goodbye.  I could not reach her in time she jumped out the window and then was gone. 

It took some doing, but I actually found out that she was brought to the emergency room by a someone 

the veterinary hospital called a samaritin.  The samaritin took FUJI with them after a short stay in the 

veterinary hospital.

Fortuantely I asked around and someone I connected with knew a friend who had recently picked up a 

cat.  Oh lucky me I was contacted by the "samaritin" by text message. So I knew Kitten Keats was 

safe, or atleast she was with someone who cared for her.

a call by a lawyer / mediator about pet ownership.  So I have to negotiate whether we can have our pet

 back home with a legal professional.

KITTEN KEAT'S - MY MEDICAL REPORT

 

September 7, 2025    Between 8-9 pm Kitten Keats was admitted in the ER.

September 18, 2025  Kitten Keats last health status was recorded on her Medical Record.

Kitten Keats was hospitalized for 11 days.

It appears Kitten Keats had a gash on her neck. 

MM Attitude 

• MM stands for Mucous Membranes.
• Pink BAR indicates that the mucous membranes were a healthy pink color and the cat was Bright, Alert, and Responsive. 
• BAR stands for Bright, Alert, and Responsive.

It looked really serious to me, so I ran on it and put a poster on Petco Love Lost right one day after Kitten Keats left through the kitchen window.

And a gash on Kitten Keat's neck was the reported problem she had.  That is above and beyond potential bee attack or flea infestation.  Of course it came into my mind she was shot at, and the KABOB ZONE on College Ave, the manager had a threatening statement when I had inquired about her were abouts.  

His statement directed at me, was to call the police on this Kitten and have them use a tasor. Since the business is owned by Turkish immigrants, there may be a communication barrier.  But that statement seemed direct and to the point. If that action was taken - it would injure her. My inital thoughts about how she was injured - from a BB shot was not unfounded.  

DURING THE ARREST THE PEACE OFFICER WAS NOT HONEST WHEN HE WROTE THE ARREST REPORT

HE WAS DISHONEST (peace officer at RPI)

THIS IS WHAT HE WROTE

Something different than what happened.  What he really wrote down on the report implied that I was not making a friendly visit to the Public Safety Office at the college I graduated from , rather it implied I was intending to do some type of harm, and that there were threats of potential violence.

BUT what were the consequences? Years later you can find out what happened.  How did that arrest effect my life, my career, my family and my chances of ever working as an engineer after graduating from RPI with a master's degree in engineering?

Today in the news - arresting Senator of CA and comptroller of NYC

Time Newsletter

“We see time and time again with this Administration trying to precipitate a response by the misuse and the abuse of force,” Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said on the Senate floor. “This is more akin to authoritarian governments when you see a democratic nation having their Executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States Senator who is simply asking for answers to their questions… This is something that we should not tolerate.”

How will the arrest effect the Senator's life, and the Comptroller's future?

Journal about Gratitude: Fear and Self-Reliance

Do we desire to work alone (isolate) , or is better to build a network of work friends to lean on.  Reaching out to build accountability, we learn to exchange ideas, expand our knowledge base and create a great team of co-workers who really can achieve success together.  

Which part of self have I been relying on that has failed me?

Getting back to basics and being totally honest with myself - things do not not always work the way I want. I have to acknowledge that I do not have total control over what happens in the future, and I have do not have total control over other people.  This is something I have to accept as truth.  

How time unfolds. Feelings, beliefs and what actions people take.

Taking time to ask get inner guidance is a constant battle in this work-a-day world.  It takes self-discipline to set aside time to reflect in a journal. To do or not to do - an honest self assessment by attempting to reach your inner self when you need guidance.  Asking for guidance and reflecting on the result by writing about the impressions you get in a journal is a common method to test your decisions and to stay in sync at work and home.  

Can I rely on myself and why not, what fears did you have?

Asking for and receiving feedback as a gift of knowledge. Working to accept criticism, in whatever form it takes.  

Define criticism: the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes rather than receiving criticism as  ______? 

All the daily decisions you make add up to a series of events that lead you from the time you wake up to the time you lay your head on the pillow.  And all those decisions really matter in every aspect of life.

Early Spring: Mid March - Late April

We are smack dab into mid June. June 13th exactly.

And Bruno decides to go crazy pruning the hedges. The kid Nate has a record, and Bruno is into music so they get along. Just released from a youth detention center, Nate ends up on our lawn. Our front lawn that is, he plans to mow it and does just that.

Comment:  I thought good, what a better way for a youth to live life, lawncare and trees. It was a new beginning for Nate.

Bruno gets the Earthwise hedge trimmer from Ollie's and Nate starts the project.  No good I said, the time of year is not right for a major hedge trim.  Always cut them in early spring and early spring in New York is mid March to late April.  

Since the two butchered the hedges, stepped all over my flowers I had to pray to the source. I knew it was coming, I spent too much time planting that garden and it was destined for trouble.  Knowing Bruno looked angry and too hot on keeping his dismissive behaviors safe. Talking to him is out of the question and pleading even worse. The nature of the beast might enjoy the pain over a lost effort. Source concluded daisy's were better off in a vase ergo the plant regenerates new flowers anyhow.

Turn the homesteading over like a pile of compost with a shovel, I resorted to asking myself if restoring the hedges to order, would mean using the trimmings create a new hedge plant? 

My search results were "Yes, it is possible to turn twigs and branches into a plant through a process called vegetative propagation, specifically stem cuttings."

The environment is blooming and this process is best done in summer: Mid June - Late August, and that is perfect timing. Keeping the silence, knowing the damage was done _ I ran off in mid morning to study chapter 6, algebra and trigonometry.

Journal About Gratitude: Self-Care and Self-Indifference Day 1

Gratitude is real appreciation. I make it in the now - very present and very needed to recover from the hard knocks and hard times I experienced in Troy, New York.

Trying to brush off the idea that things had not gotten that bad to beginning to ask myself how this indifference clouded my vision of my current realtity.   Was this indifference a feeling or emotion that crept in soul, a little bit at a time causing decisions that where based on an attitude of indifference.  I sat and thought a minute, have things have become disordered because my decisions became focused away from important life goals.  Somehow I was lead somewhere I did not want to go, to a place where actions were out of alignment with a real vision of the original intentions I had in mind for my life.   

At home the signs were there, my roommate did not want to talk to me and started spending more time in bed - resting.  I spent my efforts trying to coach, advice, fix and help with the feelings in the home environment as a result of a lull that took over our lives.  When I called on the phone, there was silence on the other end of the line.  When we first met each other, his dreams where shattered by how this lull caused ill health.  He was bed-ridden for months, staying under cover during the cold months - hibernating for the winter.  

Despite this, I still wondered why the house was unkept, and why clutter was piled everywhere. The mess was something I felt I could conquer but I was only kidding myself.  After failed attempts at trying to connect to my roommate, I started a journey to recovery, looking for all the whys and hows to remedy my situation. Facing facts about failed my job search in which all the efforts of planning a career went out the window. My wallet was screaming feed me, instead of a much wanted income, we began collecting food on the free line.  

A trap was set where a free pile of really good food, was a temporary fix not a permanent fixture.  And feeding the unemployed fellows that spent their lifetime savings, or disabled people who unable to find their way into work.  As the years rolled by, this attractive habit of relying on free food, became a crutch.   Since time went by with less progress, I have reconsidered whether I could help with the clean up any situation including the renovation of this home. 

His silence was followed by a change in character.  A necessary review of what would open the doors of communication, collaboration and progress towards positive change.  I had a unwavering spirit where giving up was not part of my plan. This plan was about learning to work with impossible characters on impossible causes starts with self-care.

Self - care believing in a growth mindset starts by finding true appreciation for my life.
