Cat Fun
Posted: Sat 27 January, 2007 Filed under: Animals, Domestic 2 Comments »Ah yes. another tale of the Psycho Cat.
A while back, the stupid little fluffy git fell off the kitchen worktop, and bashed his eye on a cupboard knob on the way down. It blew up like a football (well, a cat-sized football) immediately, and resulted in a feline black-eye that took about a week to recede. But after that all was well,
He came in earlier this week, and the same eye was all squinty and closed. It wasn’t causing him pain or anything, and in fact he didn’t even object to us touching the area around the eye. And that is how we knew he really wasn’t well. So Herself took him to meet the local vet.
He had damaged his eye, but it’d got better. Then he did something else to it – obviously no-one knows what – and now it’s ulcerated. Roughly the size of half a 5p piece. (probably about 5mm across, for non-UK readers) Nasty, in other words.
So we now have eyedrops for the fuzzy little fucker. He’s supposed to have them twice a day. This has led to some great fun, as you imagine. Psycho Cat is NOT a happy cat. And because of this, he’s stalking the bed at night, waiting for any sections of flesh to fall within range of his claws and/or teeth. My leg looks like a pin-cushion.
Forgive me, I am laughing. But only because I am well aware of cats having extremely good memories and a slight vindictive nature when it comes to retribution for things like Evil Eye-drops. Bless them.
Oh that’s awful. I laughed earlier at your description of “psycho-cat”. The vet said darling zoe (my own feline) was “very laid back”. (Avoiding the word “cool”, for obvious reasons.) Next month she has to get her teeth scraped though, and her chronic gingivitis treated. I might have to administer antibiotic tablets, so all advice will be welcomed.
