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...

Thursday Thirteen

Here are thirteen things My Mummy didn't do at the Dr's that I might have tried on my vet if he showed me a needle that big, as well as things I've done to take My Mummy's mind off of the shoulder pain:

1. Mummy says she didn't bite the Dr.
2. Mummy says she didn't even scratch the Dr.
3. Mummy didn't even scream the surgery down according to Dad!
4. Dad didn't have to chase Mummy and catch her and drag her back to the Dr's for her shot!
5. Mummy didn't need to have a bath when she came home, so I guess she didn't even pee herself with nerves!
6. Mummy didn't have to be bought home from the Dr's in a PTU!
7. Mummy didn't get a treat bikky from Dad for being good at the Dr's! :(
8. I stuck my claws into Mummy's leg so she stopped thinking about her shoulder!
9. I rewarded Mummy for being good by giving her a new fur coat!
10. I rubbed my head against Mummy's shoulder to make it feel better...
11. I didn't bug Mummy for cuddles all night, I just slept quietly between her and Dad!
12. I didn't jump on Mummy like I usually do to wake her up and poke her in the shoulder, I just stood up in bed and asked her to wake up in my bestest voice!
13. I've offered to cuddle with Mummy in bed all day if she wants to rest her shoulder that much, it's a huge sacrifice to make, but I'm a very devoted and loyal kinda mancat so I'm only too pleased to offer this sort of intensive care to My Mummy!

Wonderful Wednesday!

It's me Isis! :) I've been busy keeping Dad warm in bed while he was feelin' all yucky and icky, seems he got cat flu or something nasty like that as he says his head feels like it wants to 'splode and his nose is certainly 'spoldin' lots! But he's been a good ickle sick kitten and let me look after him's properly... :) I'z done sitting on him to warm him up, while groomin' the little furs on the back of one of his hands all nicely! He must have liked that as he fell off to sleep and let me groom it for a good 30 mins, when I was done it looked lovely and pink and clean! :)

Then I followed him downstairs and watched TV with him, perched on the back of the sofa and purrin' in his ear as hard as I could to make him relax! This must have worked as he soon was up and about doing stuff for work on the computer, all wrapped in a blanket I made a nice nest on his feet and groomed the furs on his legs next! Honest I'z never groomed so hard in all my life and soon his ankles was looking mighty good and pink too! :) Mummy kept bringing him mugs of coffee, which like a good Momma cat I tested to make sure it was good and not too hot for my paw 'ickle sick kitten Dad...

I'z is going to be the bestest every kitten Momma, 'cause today Dad got outta bed and went back to his work! All my attention and nursing efforts must have worked real well... :) He's all fixed and better and told Mummy he was sure he'd feel better at work as he was sure he didn't need any more of my intensive nursing efforts! It's obvious from his comments that I'z done my job real good and I'll be just as good a kitten Momma as my big sister Noodle is! :)

When I'z bigger I'z going to be just like her and go and visit Dan (not for Napoleon's eyes) and come home with a belly full of kittens all my own! :) Mummy says I can play Momma cat and ickle baby kitten all I want then... I'z can clean 'em and feed 'em and snuggle with 'em 24/7 and they'z going to love it all and not complain like my big brother Ramses does about how humiliating it all is, specially when I start with the cute 'ickle baby talk to him! ;)

Anyway I've had enough time day dreamin' about kittens and now I need to go clean up any stray cat bikky those messy boys have dropped around our food bowls! Then I'd better check all the cat toys and make'z sure they'z good enough to play with, once that's all done I think I'll check out all the cat beds and other prime napping spots and make sure they'z good enough for guests! :) It's a busy life being the only girlycat in a house... Those lazy boys seem to need me to do everfury thing for them! ;)
