The significance of the number 23.

Well I am back, and its been a close call I am telling you. I felt really sick. I was carted off to the V.E.T. where I had large numbers of needles stuck in me, for no apparent reason. Then I found out what had really been going on. I was lying there when I overheard my human talking to the V.E.T. They were talking about the number ’23′. The V.E.T. was saying

‘it was 23! We have never known a cat with a result that high before!’

And my human was saying

’23? Good God!’

I dont know if anyone out there knows what they are talking about but its clearly some sort of code.

Then my human was saying

‘ its not going to be easy feeding him seperately’

and the V.E.T said

‘ its really important’

and my human said ( are you ready for this? )

‘I know…….if I dont he will die!’

Now I have been thinking about this…………23 must be the name of a type of poison. That explains why I am being fed seperately, Sinner has been poisoning me again! I have been complaining about this for years,and no one takes a blind bit of notice!

This was confirmed today! I saw some food down there and my human said

‘ you can’t eat that it will make you ill! ‘

What more proof do you need!

Fortunately my human has realised at long last what is going on, and now she watches every mouthful I eat! She won’t allow the other two in the same room when I eat, they have to be fed seperately. Positive proof is that I am now feeling much better”

My life hangs by a thread, you have no idea what it is like having to live in these perilous surroundings!

I have to go back to the V.E.T next week, she says, to have more tests………checking to see if there is any more poison I expect! Its most unnerving!

Doesnt anyone out there care?

Boris is in hospital!

His current lives rating is about 4 out of 9 ( see Boris’s veterinary history)!!
He has lost a lot of weight recently, and become very dehydrated, and had some ketones in his urine. His kidneys etc are still working fine, although he has been vomiting, so his pancreatitis may be rumbling. He went into the V.E.T.s and came out but started to get dehydrated again so had to go back in. We dont think its anything too serious but his V.E.T has deserted him by buzzing off to Cornwall on holiday. Why she didnt cancel it I dont know. However, she did email me from Vancouver last time she was on holiday and I was worried about his insulin, so I suppose that will have to do. I am anticipating he will be discharged Monday, having cost Petplan hundreds of pounds. I am convinced one day his little body will be found hanging from Battersea Bridge with bricks on all paws and a suicide note attached, saying he didnt want to cost Petplan anymore money……..I distinctly saw some men in Balaclavas hanging around when I bought him home the other day. He is not in a very good mood, and will doubtless take it out on all and sundry when he gets back. No further bulletins will be posted unless there is a sudden change in his condition. He is ‘as well as can be expected’ Such fortitude is an example to us all! I am taking him  some grapes.

A cause for celebration.

At least that’s what the other two cats are saying! Poor Boris has been a bit unstable recently and is spending the night at the V.E.T.s. You can guarentee he will be in a terrible mood when he gets back.Meanwhile the other two are enjoying the rare luxury of doing what they want without his Lordship intervening. They can eat their food uninterrupted, sleep in front of the fire, sleep on my bed without getting shoved off……….

Poor Boris has been a bit queasy, we think perhaps his pancreas has been playing up and this morning he was off his feet.

We had all better put your ear plugs in when he gets back tomorrow! It quite tempting to leave him there its so nice and quiet!

My reputation is restored!

I have been feeling a bit perkier since my human took me to the V.E.T.s I have no idea why……………anyhow I have been restoring my reputation as Ratcatcher General. I used to be the top ratcatcher in this neighbourhood but after Sinner poisoned me I felt too tired. However, these last three days I have caught three rats in three days. Now you think she would be pleased wouldn’t you? Yesterday I left one in the back garden for her and she didn’t eat it so I bought it inside and started to eat it myself….she went ballistic, complaining bitterly about a headless rat at the foot of the stairs. She should look where shes walking! Theres no gratitude from this woman. What did she expect me to do with it? BBQ it? I even ate the tough part myself (the head). Here we are with nice fresh meat and she grumbles.. that its disgusting! She would rather eat food from a shop that is several weeks old!I don’t know why I bother at times. Anyhow Sinner wasnt very pleased. You can see by his face….some cats just don’t deserve any sympathy.

How miserable is that!

Imagine humans with fur……………..

They just couldn’t leave it alone, it would be coloured, streaked, gelled, be beaded, glittery, made into bunches, back- combed, shaved off….the mind just boggles………..  

Just look at how odd they are with hair, that little bit of fur they still have left, those who have got it shave it off and those who havent comb it forward to pretend that they have. Wheres the logic in that?

I am firmly of the opinion thats its just as well humans dont have fur.
