Holiday Triage

Kitties!

Keanu here.

Please don't tell the Nevada Kats, but I slept with their Mommy!

She made me a really nice towel bed, on top of the regular bed.  (talk about swanky!)  

Now, do you see how my right cheek is all puffy?  Well, Nevada Mommy noticed that too while she was petting me.  Naturally she investigated, and I had an abscess...so she lanced it for me.  I was a Very Good Boy and didn't whimper, not one tiny bit!  

I felt eversomuch better with all that gunk out and settled right in for a good sleep.

zzzzZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

And it's a good thing I slept so well because the next day my employer Daddy Tommy boxed me up into a carrier and carted me off to the vet, where I got my cheek flushed out and an antibiotic shot.

And then it was back to work for me!

A Cottage Cat's duties are never done.

Happy Friday!

Whitey Wound

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

I have some disturbing news to report--I almost vent to the vet!

See how my fur is a little manky behind my ear?  I had an abscess that I didn't tell anyone about which drained.

Last week Mommy noticed that I was glued to the sofa for a couple of days (not my usual spot), and that my eye was a little runny.  She told Daddy that I was perhaps due for an Unpleasant Excursion if I didn't perk up.  Well the next day I was all crusty and gooey behind me ear and right away they knew what had been going on.  It's hard to say how I got punctured; I wrassle with several of my housemates daily and we are a pretty rough-and-tumble bunch when we play.

I was back to my usual sunny purrsonality as soon as I got cleaned up (thank you Daddy!), and Mommy put a warm compress on my ear off and on for two days to hiss me off encourage it to heal.

My other ear is just fine...

All the better to discharge my Guard Duty:

Making sure that this Cat Grass is eaten responsibly!

We all have been producing some spectacular green yaks...everywhere.

Happy REAL Caturday!
