Scrobbled!

Waiting under my fleece for a

bit of TLC ...








Archie got scrobbled by a cat yesterday ... while harmlessly pottering around outside, enjoying the sunshine and a nibble of grass he was ambushed by an evil kitty which leapt into the garden on top of him. Covered in bites and scratches and hobbling around on three legs after the close encounter, he had to be whisked off to the emergency vets for antibiotics and an eye check. The Madwoman had to go back again later for painkillers and anti-inflams as he was in so much pain from his lame leg, which had also become really swollen and tender by this time. It hurt so much in fact, that he took to the sofa and refused his dinner. Angel did offer to eat it for him, but wasn't allowed to. Off to our regular vet this morning, where he had a much more sympathetic reception as well as more drugs, and is feeling much better as a result.

Too much to expect get any well wishes or treats we suppose after the total lack of them when Angel got bitten by a bee - but maybe you'd like to join our campaign to rid the world of evil kitties?

I maintain my love of cats, madwippit, but I am sorry to hear poor Archie got scrobbled by a cat gone to the dark side. Because I quite like dogs too...

Thank you for your kind wishes, Sue! Of course, we aren't advocating stamping out all felines - only evil kitties. We'll be quite happy to put up with nice ones, although they will of course, be expected to prove how nice they are ...
