Fr"eye"day

Honestly, what is it with this time of year and my eyes? Yep, I've gone and got myself an eye infection once more... :( It's not a bad one like last year at least and Mummy says I only need to have the drops in for a few more days now as it's clearing up, but it's just not fair! So ok maybe I don't wash my paws as much as I should before rubbing my eyes, but I don't deserve a week of drops in the eye or worse yet a ride in the PTU and a visit to the VET! Oh no not me, I'm a good boy...

Well at least Mummy'd arranged for it to be a Lady Vet, and one who appreciated my good looks and superior character. In fact the only thing wrong with her, was the fact that she hasn't learnt to talk Abyssinian, so she couldn't understand me when I told her to get her great big pink paws off of my gorgeous sorrel furs! But she did make the examination quick and of course My Mummy was by my side the whole time, so it's a trauma I will get over in time... well ok will enough treats applied! ;) Anyway Sue the receptionist is well on her way to understanding quite a bit of Abyssinian and fully understood me when I told Mummy that she could think again if she thought I'd co-operate when it came to drop application time. Nope I wasn't going to give in to her bribary, not no way... So other than my itchy eye and the nasty drops, I've been doing rather well this week with 24/7 access to the bed and lots of yummy treats, including some ducky jerky for kitties! :)

Oh well off to claim some more treats as I gather I'm needed for another round of torture and the application of a medicated drop to my right eye... Then I think I'll have a nap in the bed with my 'sis before lunch!

Just remember Mummy I'm not going back to the Lady Vet or any Vet for that matter, even if the Lady Vet comes from High River, AB and knows a lot of the places you used to live in!

Mancat Monday...

Well the resting did my eye good and it's almost back to normal, though I'z not supposed to have the conehead off until it's 100% normal, so I'z can't scratch it and mess it up again... Though I'z seeing the stand in VET on Wednesday and iffen he decides it's ok I can have the conehead off, and iffen he doesn't then maybe I'z won't let him live! It's not fair I'z got to go see stand in VET rather than lovelylady VET, or Sally VET... They'z on holidays and I'z gotta see an icky man VET :(

Anyway today is d'boy's 11th birthday and it seems that Isis got presents along with the box that arrived for him from Canada! She gotted a lovely play box and some sisal string... She even gotted to practice her present opening skills in prepurration for KissMouse Day and her 1st Birthday shortly after! It seems that all this getting older has gone to Dad's head and now he's senile, 'cause he tried to go to work this morning wearing his slippers! ;) He made My Mummy laugh lots when he came back to get his shoes... :)

My Mummy cooked us all a yummy roasty dinner last night as a bit of a treat for d'boy, and tonight he's getting my fave chicken! I'z sure My Mummy will cook me a little bit of chicken too, cause she knows how much I'z like it... :) After all it is my 2nd Gotcha Day Anniversary tomorrow and I'z not seen any treats or presents for me yet! :( Maybe I'll get a surprise?! I'z do hope so... :)

Finking Friday...

Mostly I'z been finking about my sore eye and conehead this week... Right now I finks my eye is getting better and so I've been pretty good about letting My mummy put the auntybiotic drops in, I'z not even put the bitey on her once! :)

Other than that I finks it's nice to snuggle with my little 'sis and watch Mummy work... Lifting one's conehead for long is hard work so now I fink it's time for another nap! ;)

Wonderful Wednesday!

It is I, Isis here! :) Ramses is off sulking about being a silly lookin' conehead... I must say watching him is nearly as entertainin' as pouncing on his cone was until Mummy tolds me off!

Anyway I'z got a new game to play now and so I'z happy! :) I'z got a pretty pink bracelet to carry around in my mouth and when it needs it I dropz it in someone's shoe and gives it a goodly pouncing! :) Then I picks it up and does it all over again... It's just the bestest of all games and I can and do play it for hours! :) Dis is keeping Ramses entertained too, so I'z doing my bit to help his eye recover and stop looking all icky and yuck!

Yes, I'z been learning lots of propurr medical terms like icky and yuck lately! Manky and revoltin' are other medical terms for what's wrong with my brother's eye. He's rubbed at it so hard that he's given it an ulster that the vet and Mummy could only see when they put special drops in Ramses eye, these made him cry orange for a bit - luckily this doesn't matter as his furs are already orange! :)

Now I fink I'd better go kiss d'conehead and make sure he's doin' ok 'cause it's time for his next eye drops and he'll need to to hold his paw while Mummy puts 'em in! :) Sees Napoleon I'z a good girl really... :)

Treatment Tuesday...

Thanks everykitty, the VET was as nice as she could be, but I'z have now got 3 lots of drops to take for the eye... :( Oh and the indignaty of wearing a cone collar on my head!

One lot of drops I'z only need putting in once a day, the antiebiotics I'z need twice a day and the third lot I'z needs 3 times a day! Oh and I'z need eye baths in saline to clean it up 2-3 times a day too! :( You'z see I didn't leave my paw sore eye alone and have now managed to give it an ulcer, hence the cone collar of indignity!

Just to add to the trauma of it all Isis has turned evilz! She seems to thinks my cone collar of indignity is really a fun toy that needs pouncing on from great heights! :( She'z been caught laying in wait for me behind furniture and doors... She seems to think it's a good idea to play kill d'collar while it's still on my head! Just you wait 'till I'z fighting fit again and I'z will give her such a bopping! :)

Oh and if'z you want to torture your catparents real good for making you suffer this sort of indignity, it's a good idea to go crashing round their bedroom at all hours of the night! ;) The sound of a cat stumbling around with a cone collar on is guaranteed to wake even the heaviest of sleepers... If all else fails bribe Tigmut'hep to go play squish the bladder first thing in the morning! He's a true master of the art of bladder squishing, not only standing on just the right spot to insure greatest pain and need, but shifting his weight from paw to paw while he does this just to add to the torture element, while purring and looking as cute as possible to make them prolong the torture of their own free will, "cause doesn't the kitty look cute!" ;) Now if you can manage to get your evilz little 'sis to put the bitey on their toes about this time you'll have them outta d'bed so fast you'll be amazed at how speedy they can be! Oh and now it's time to take full advantage of the warm bed they've just vacated... :)

Post Party Report...

Oh dis has been great! Loadsa 'nip and food and yummy treats for all, plus boxes to play in and cats to socialize with... Not to mention My Marie to snuggle! :) It's gone a long way to making me feel better regardless of icky eye... Oh and a visit from the lovely Miss Peach too! :) It's all so purrfect... Now where did that 'nip banana go?

Sorry for Isis nutty behaviour, but it was her first time on d'nip and it kinda went to her head! ;) As Tigmut'hep pointed out, there's not much to get in it's way between her ears... I think he's being a bit hard on my little 'sis, but have to agree she was a bit of an airhead over the weekend! ;)

My Mummy and family gotted back just like they said they would and helped clean up d'bits we'd not managed to do ourselves without tellin us off! So thanks to everykitty for helpin' us tidy up the worst of it... :) What My Mummy doesn't know won't make her all grumpy and cross! ;) In fact she even cooked us all a roast beef dinner with loadsa yummy gravy, so we had the purrfect end to the weekend... :)

The only down side is that my eye is still not doing well, so I'm back off to the VET this afternoon... :( But My Mummy says I can go in the posh, luxury PTU and take Isis with me to hold my paw, 'cause I'z a big fraidy cat when it comes to gettin' poked by peoplez I don't know! Specially in de eye... Well I can see 'em comin, so what does she expect?! ;) So for now I'll go sleep off some of d'nip we finished off last night... I may have a puffy eye, but at least I don't look as rough as Tigmut'hep and I'd like to keep it that way, thank you very much! ;) Just look at him, he's sufferin with a bad 'nip hangover...

Finking Friday...

Oh boy do I have some finking to do this Friday! Firstly I'z got to make sure that we'z got every thing we need in for d'party tomorrow... Lots of 'nip, lotsa meat, stinky goodness and our yummy chicken jelly with extra fresh 'nip added! :) Plenty of places to nap and relax on and of course the cat run for fun and games, likez my fave game of how'z d'squirrel! ;) I really must try and grow my tail furs more fluffy... Then I'd make the purrfect mega big squirrel! :)

Den I'z gotta fink of a good hiding spot so'z My Mummy can't find me at free O'clock when she wants to take me and 'sis to d'VET! :( I'z not told 'sis yet, cause I's didn't want her getting all upset and worried, but I'z going to get her to join me in a game of "Hide and Sneak" later when My Mummy starts lookin' fur us!

I finks it's time for my annual rejection from the VET and even though I'z hears we'z going in the big, huge, mega luxury PTU together I knows it's still goin' to be real torture... Just look at us, does we lookz like we needs a trip to the VET?! What do you mean one of my eyes looks a little bit sore and I need my booster shots... I'z purrfectly fine and it doesn't matter how much the VET likes seeing me I dozn't likes seen herz! :( I'z dozn't fink Isis needs a microchip to ID her, I'z can sniff her out where ever she hides, can't you?! What doz you mean you can't sniff her furs like that and tell it's my 'sis? You'z beans are mighty strange even if you'z My Mummy! ;)
