Manflu Monday - Step 4 - Operation Daddy!

Step 4 is simple - Never give up a good opportunity to teach your Daddy a lesson!

Well it seems I have Daddy just where I want him at present, his defences are low and he's in the mood for laying around under a pile of blankets! I shall therefore be putting in quite some time and effort to his training today... ;) I think I shall start with the demand feeding and maybe work on up to clicker training if he starts to improve later today! :) Oh yes you really do have to take advantage of all your Daddy's weaknesses to get one perfectly trained... ;)

Now come on Daddy, my belly wants a rubbing, get it right or I'll just have to disembowel your forearm! Oi, that bit of blanket is MINE, you really do have to learn to share Daddy! ;)

Mancat and Manflu Monday

It seems that D'boy has responded well to our treatment, My Mummy's on the mend if still unwell but Dad seems to still have raging manflu really badly... So badly so in fact that My Mummy is going to have to take him to the vets in a bit. The thing is we're a little concerned that due to his advanced years (he's well over 20 yrs old now you know) and the serious condition he's in - well you know what we're worrying about...! :( I mean he's a good Dad and has over the years become quite expert in giving belly rubs and general fusses, so we'd kinda like to keep him. Honestly when he's not suffering from manflu he seems fit and healthy, so paws crossed the vet will think he's worth the effort too! ;) Oh and My Mummy seems to like Dad as well, so I'm sure she'll put in a good word for him with the vet... :)

Other than that Mummy fed me the bestest chicken ever this weekend and it seems all the family have clubed together to buy us cats some nice new beds and pillows to match! Oh yes, Tigmut'hep has a soft and comfy new single bed that he likes to share with D'boy, while Isis and I have a brand new memory foam double bed sized matress arriving later in the week, though we already have some very nice new soft fluffy pillows to share with My Mummy and Dad... We're both very excited about the imminant arrival of the new matress as it's supposed to mold to our bodies and kind of cradle us as we sleep! It took ages for Dad and My Mummy to find just the right one for us, so I hope they got it right - after all a cat likes to be very comfy when it sleeps! :)

A Mancat's work is never done...

It seems I am working round the clock at the moment as My Mummy and all the other humans here have gone down with a bad cold... My Mummy even says that it's more yucky than that dreadful and deadly disease "Man Flu" - so it's gotta be bad! :(

So I have been up and awake much of the night making sure that My Mummy had somekitty to snuggle with, while she turned from hot to cold and back again and Dad wheezed, coughed and gave off more radiant heat than a total nuclear meltdown on his side of the bed! Even D'boy is sick and whiny, so much so that even Tigmut'hep can't interest him in a game of toy cars or Lego...

I must say Isis is being a good little nurse kitty too, she now wants a cute little "candy stripe" uniform, though I've told her she can't have one until she still can resit putting the bitey on a moving toe under the covers! ;) Well it's most off putting to have your sick patient suddenly bolt upright and screaming, when you've just got them nice and settled and were starting to doze off too...

Mancat Monday...

It seems Dad's home with manflu today... So I'z gotta compete for My Mummy's attention! Now come on Mummy, you can't zoom groom Dad, nor can you play "belly rub or bunny kick" with him... Not to mention the fact he's a walking bag of snot and contagion?! ;) I'z pretty sure his face is going to explode soon and that could be scary... Yes, that's right Mummy you want to spend your time with me, doing mancatly things like fussing me and telling me how wonderful I am! :) Oh and Mummy you can use that nasty pill giver thingy you use on us so we don't put the bitey on your fingers when being given pills, on Dad when you give him is cold and flu tabs - that way you don't have to get that close to him! After all I wouldn't want My Mummy getting sick, it'd mess with my routine for a start! ;)
