Ouch Maeze, I hope it will heal speedily.
Yikes, EFB!
I have been useless for days because on Tuesday our youngest cat didn't come home. To top things off he was acting strangely lethargic and we
were going to keep him in that day but he snuck off before we closed the cat door. AND we had just removed his collar with adress tube for a flea treatment. And while he is chipped, they recently changed the rules so that only vets and police may have the equipment to scan pet ID chips.
None of us could understand why he would have gone outside if he didn't feel well. Previous cats had always hid around the house when ill, even if we never knew where exactly. But we had looked pretty much everywhere and couldn't find him anywhere inside. Figured he may have had a brain bleed or something that made him act abnormal. We had one of those before.
Honestly, we are all pretty sure he lying dead somewhere outside and none of us wanted to admit it, but it remained to be seen if we ever would find out for sure. And we had travel plans for next week too.
Still, I was poised at the computer today to compose a missing pet leaflet to post around the neighbourhood when mom opened the washroom door and there he was. Right as rain.
Whatever it was, he must have slept it off for three days safely tucked away under the washroom shelf. So his instincts are sound at least.
Funny how pretty much immediately after we found him I feel like I can think again.
So that's one donation to the local cat shelter for today (and another one for a vaccination programme because I've had it with This Effing Year.)
