Went to fetch my darling kitty, Splodgie, who has now had to have the front of his nose lopped off to catch the cancer that has spread there. For those of you who know him, you will know him as my darling who introduced me to the concept of kitties-without-ears as a result of his ears having to be removed. Now he has no ears and a "Peke-faced Persian" look. So, I guess if mother will not allow me to gather any more animals - one of which would be a Persian and the other a canary (I KNOW - totally incompatible - but that's me!), I have to make do! :-)
He had the op on Wed last week, and I was finally able to fetch him this afternoon - and he is such a brave kitty! But, he has a rather kitty-urine smell about him, so I had to upset the two dogs by giving him his meds and then dousing him with good old Elizabeth Ann's baby powder - hopefully it will do the trick on the smell - but he also needs a good brush - and Splodge doesn't DO brushes! I also need to add a face mask of sorts (usually a tea towel or something of that nature) and then I can brush him. There is just too much hair that flies all over! Oh well!!! :-)
I plan to try painting this at some stage - but don't have the courage just yet. He loves sitting in the trees and watching the world go by! Something one specialist vet told me I would HAVE to make sure happened - i.e. keep him inside from 9am to 3pm. Lovely in theory, but my boy loves being out at that time of the day - and so it goes back to that age-old quandary - are our pets here for us, or we for them?
Okay, enough philosophising!
Hopefully - will speak soon!
