I didn't sleep well last night, as I had L. Whale shut in the living room with an ablutions tray, as he was due at the vets this morning, to have his claw treated. He didn't want to go in the car carrier and I had to upend it and pour him in. I've just picked him up now, and he was yowling for sympathy on the way back, but the moment I let him out in the kitchen, he hobbled (he has a dressing on) across to the nearest feed bowl and stuffed his face. I have now lifted him up onto the sofa. He has a limp but not surprising as the outer claw removed and proud flesh treated, under anaesthetic. I asked them to trim all his other claws too, as he's not keen on letting me near!!
I have hardly been at home all day as I have been backwards and forwards to the computer repair place as well as the vet's. My computer had acquired a pretend McAfee threat, so needed sorting, and I have had to move to Chrome for browsing as for some reason Google Blogger had had a hissy fit and we couldn't work out why the photos wouldn't present as they should so I could load them. So I spent the hour or so I did have at home knitting and have done E. Bunny's other ear and sewn the inner and outer together and now I'm on the other arm. I watched another repeat of Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild, and was just starting on the 2nd half of the Great British Throw Down when I had to go and collect my computer. Some more of that tonight and carrying on with the Roman Empire by Train with Alice Roberts.
Tea tonight is the other half of last night's boughten chicken curry. Just the thing for this perishing weather.
Anyway, one more photo from Brecon Museum and I will put some more up in the morning.
Wow, the red kites carving is amazing.
ReplyDeleteCats know how to make a fuss. Glad he's sorted.
I thought it had a lot of energy in it. We have so many Kites in this area - truly blessed for that.
ReplyDeleteL.W. is very sore, I will give him that. He has kicked off his dressing already! but will doubtless manage to make it up onto my bed tonight, along with the other 3.
Cats - who'd have them. When I take Sheva to the vets anyone would think I was going to murder her, and when I've managed to get her into the basket, have to protect the back seat of the car in plastic as she's either sick, wees or both. Managed to get Iris's birthday pressie today, a Pandora bracelet and a couple of charms, not cheap but she's worth it and she was so thrilled to be choosing what she wanted. But Granny has bought it home until 1st March. Perishing cold here. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeletePoor Kitty. Two of my cats have been to the vet. I creep up behind them to bundle them into the carrier. I don't know what would happen if I have to take the third one. He would fight and I would get scratched. Let's hope he stays healthy.
ReplyDeleteEven a cat who is enfeebled can resist going into the cat carrier--and Little Whale obviously didn't think being tipped in was to his best interest! I've kept cat wounds or stitches clean with a bit of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball--unless there is deep infection that seems to help after a surgery.
ReplyDeleteI've recently noticed McAffee trying to get me to 'bite' on a fake virus infection . One could wish a dire 'pox' on the individuals that sit in a dark room dreaming up viruses, fake news, porn--whatever!
Poor baby LW. If he won't wear the dressing must he have a cone or donut? What is an ablutions tray?
ReplyDeleteGReat that you have a shop to fix your computer.
