Feline Friday

You are all dying to know how Jass has settled in. No? The girl likes the boys, with Phyllis being second in line, after Kosov. I am third on the tree.

Haz I settled in and feeling relaxed? She keeps sitting on the warm chair that I have left. I can change lounge chairs, but not my computer chair. I metaphorically kick her off. 

What tv show is this, wonders Jass.

I'm a girl cat and I need to feed my kittens. This interests me.

Food, close by.

I can catch food.

"I don't like the boiled and cooled water from my bowl. I like the chlorinated and fluoridated water straight from the tap best." That the rule that she isn't allowed on kitchen benches seems to be ignored. No one told Jass this important hygiene point. I pick her up and put her down, but no one else does. 

Oldest Niece's cat Trixie, rather like Jass. 

One week has passed and today Jass will visit a vet nurse to check that her spey wound has healed nicely. It has, and that she is thriving. She is due a flu vax too, so I hope that can be done at the time.

The shelter suggested Jass could come down with a cold once she left the shelter. She has. Kosov thinks she is dying and must be rushed to a vet hospital. She has sneezed a few times and made coughing noises.

Ondrewww, she is lethargic during the day and sleeps a lot. 

Yes, Kosov, that is what cats do, and she just jumped up onto the bench, so that doesn't indicate lethargy. 

Ondrewwww, she is unsettled and awake at night.

Yes Kosov, that's because she has been sleeping during the day and cats are nocturnal animals. 

Ondrewwww, there is muck running from her eye. 

Yes Kosov. I know the experience well. She has a cold and that is to be expected.

Ondrewwww, her poo smells bad. 

Yes Kosov. Cat poo smells bad.

Ondrewwww, I am worried about her health. I've never had responsibility for a living creature.

I hugged Kosov and told him not to be a silly duffer and not to worry, and to stop being a hypochondriac on behalf of Jass. He lightened up then.

I talked on. We had three cats, one uncontrollable and killed by a car, the other two dying of old age. I kind of know about cats. Trust me Kosov. If I judge she needs medical treatment, I will take her straight away. 

Apparently a cat harness with a pretty pink bow has been ordered from Temu. Jass may then visit 'the outside world'. 

I wouldn't be dead for quids.
