Monocle Monday

Kitties!

Salem here, with a State of My Sight report.
Last week Daddy noticed that my left eye was all crusty.  I knew I should have gotten busy and washed my face before he woke up--then he never would have seen it!  Oh, who am I kidding, Daddy is the Chief Eye Booger Cleaner around here, he was bound to see my gooey eye eventually.  (Mommy is the Nose Booger Checker, in case you wondered what she was good for.)

Mommy looked at my eye, and it wasn't too red, so they decided to just monitor it.  This meant I was examined a half a zillion times throughout the day, you know, just the sort of attention we Cats detest love.
Meh. 
Later, Mommy squirted saline in it to wash it out.
I was NOT impressed.

The next day my eye was still red so Daddy crammed me into the dreaded carrier and carted me off to the vet!  I was very quiet in the car and in the examination room.  The vet was very nice to me, and when I got a shot, it didn't hurt--and I got drops to put in my squinty eye. 
The worst part of the whole ordeal was that I got weighed!  
I am a svelte 12.7 pounds.  Daddy (that traitor!) told Mommy the news along with my Eye Report.
Mommy decided this was a good reason for a new nickname; "Winky Waddler"!
She's an inaccurate poopyhead.
I don't waddle, I SWAY!  Saucily.  And I'm not winky anymore, either, because my eye is all better.

So there!

Of course, I can't stay mad for long...
...she does have the thumbs.


Happy Monday!

    Hahaha - Äiti loves your nickname. And she's thinking of calling the something Widdler - which I am not so sure about......

    You are incredibly brave with your eye infection . far more brave than Äiti and hers.

    Mommy *is* a poopyhead--waddle? As if! You is just a beautifully curvaceous ladycat, and I got all fainty just glancing at that second-to-last picture. I need a little recovery time before I come back and take a full-on, good lo-o-o-n-n-g satisfying look. I might ask the Human to print it out for me.

    Salem you have the most lovely tummy I do want to bury my fingers in your fur. I'm sorry you have had a poorly eye and glad it is better. Leo had to go to the vet last month with a high temperature and he shook the whole time. His little heart was going pitter-patter so fast the vet hadn't examined such a scaredy-kitty for a long time! He's all better now too. Monty is very like you but as he's so nervy and doesn't really relax he burns off lots of energy and stays sleek and slim, I'm hoping one day he'll get a tummy more like yours! Love from Leo and Monty and their mum xx

    Hi Salem, Mr Darcy here - I feel for you - I went to the vets a few months back as I was feeling under the weather and the vet had to go and weigh me! So not only did I end up on horrible meds, but he put me on a diet too - it was not a good week! I hope it works out better for you and that your eye feels better soon. I think that when humans go to the doctors for an eye infection the nurse should pass comment on their weight too... it's only fair!!

    We're glad your eye is better Salem :) I wonder if this is a tuxie thing as Austin has a tendency to have a runny left eye on occasion? Doesn't go crusty though. He goes crazy when I try to inspect him all day long! Sheesh!

    Salem, the sadistic part of me wants to know what your mommy would nickname my definitely not svelt double broken eyed human. Could you ask her please? It would give me a laugh! Please could you also tell your mommy that we're having major email troubles here? The little man in the box decided to start a war, but he blew himself up. I thought I'd finally got rid of him, but the human went out and bought another talking man in an even bigger box. She says Computer's a nightmare to set up though, so she's still struggling! She says please could your mommy send her an email so that we can have your address again!

    They might have the thumbs, but they're still inadequate.
