Friday
Drat!
It
happened today. I got carted off to the vets. I knew it
would happen. My stomach is still not good. They shoved
the thermometer up my bottom, (I so hate that!) and told
mum that I had a stomach bug. They gave me some paste
stuff and sent me home. I'm so hungry. I got no food yesterday,
or today, hopefully I will get fed tomorrow.
Saturday
I got the brown paste squirted into my mouth this morning.
It was AWFUL! But at least mum made up for it by
giving me some breakfast shortly after. My first food
in 2 days. I am SOOOOOOOOO hungry, I wolfed
it down so quickly in case she changed her mind. I got
the paste 3 times today, it's so horrible to have it squirted
into your mouth… I seem to get it all over my whiskers
and it's not nice.
Monday
It's a nice day today and mum is in the garden. I have
been asleep under the sheet that she is sat on. It's nice
and cool in the dark, and I can feel mum's leg next to
me so I am a happy kitty.
Wednesday
It's been another nice few days and I have been in the
garden lots. I rarely go outside the garden, but stay
and keep mum company. I have been sleeping under bushes
and plants, but staying within sight of mum. I hate being
on my own.
They stopped squirting the paste into me today. That must
mean that I am now better. What a relief!
Friday
It's too hot for me today. I have been asleep on the big
bed all day. It's much cooler there. Mum has been outside,
and I keep popping out to check she is still there, and
then going back up to bed.
Saturday
Mum and dad painted the big wall at the back of the garden
today. I went out to help them, but all I managed to do
was get paint on my tail and side. I hid inside until
all the paint and brushes were put away. It's another
really hot day so I am staying in the cool.
When they finished painting the wall they got this plastic
thing out and filled it with water. I think it's called
a paddling pool. For adults, they certainly behave like
children sometimes! I went out for a look, but as soon
as I realised it was a big pool of water I ran away… just
in case they decided to push me in. I hid upstairs until
they came inside and put the paddling pool away.
Sunday
They were out in the pool again today, so I stayed inside….
I'm not risking it in case I get a surprise swim.
Last night I managed to escape. The bedroom window was
left open and I managed to get out onto the garage roof
and out onto the street. I heard them calling me at bedtime
but I wouldn't go to the house. It's been ages since I've
spent a night outside… it was such fun. I was so tired
today though, and spent it asleep on their bed. I spent
the night playing with Fishy…
Monday
Not
such a nice day today. Spent the day bird watching through
an upstairs window… what an excellent way to pass a day!
Wednesday
Mum
was out most of the day today and I spent it in my room
watching the birds on the garden. Mum put down some grass
seed on the lawn and the birds have been there all day
eating the seeds! I bet no grass will grow!
Thursday
I spent ages outside today. I managed to escape this morning
when mum was emptying my litter tray. I sat on the garden
wall and watched the birds and insects. I saw the big
white cat, that I don't like and chased it off my garden.
Horrible thing, this is my territory.
Friday
I'm
not well again today. I have an upset stomach again. I
don't feel well at all. I spent the day either squatting
in the litter tray or asleep on my cushion. I didn't feel
like playing or moving.. just sleeping. I'm definitely
not well.
Saturday
Oh dear.. No food again today. They still had some of
that awful paste left and I have been given that… no respite!
This afternoon they noticed that my tail has a new kink
in it and it's really swollen. Both mum and dad tried
to look at it this evening. It's really sore and I don't
want anyone poking it. I nearly bit dad when he had a
look, and I batted mum with my paw when she tried to look.
They can see it's swollen and infected, so no doubt I
will be back at the vets soon.
A new thing arrived in the garden today. It's wooden and
tall, with a square bit on the top. They filled it with
some food and left it in the garden… I soon realised that
it was a bird table. Loads of birds were feeding off it.
I was, of course, locked inside… so it's like home cinema
for cats. I can watch out of the window but not get near
them.
Sunday
I was bird watching today. I was crouched in front of
the French windows, below the window so the birds couldn't
see me. I tried to run for a bird, but bounced off the
window.. I forgot it was there for a moment!!! D'oh!!!
My tail is really hurting me, it's very swollen and I
keep licking it to stop the pain, but it's not working.
I know I will be going to the vets tomorrow. I hope it
helps.
