PB, some yum e yums and a LWT

[Ollivander84]

I started a new thread as we hit 1k

Spart - as far as ringing the vet goes, for some reason being a regular victim of bankruptcy, wounding with intent and paying off damaged pet medical staff with fine wines has limited appeal to me, but Mr C needs regular appts for his thyroid.

Nurse Lee kissed me on the cheek.

Mr C got a jab and you got a kiss :).

Mr C has had an unexpected bonus - they shaved his neck for the tests and he's loving a nice cool furless throat, he's stuck it under the fan.

Ollie has destroyed two full wet pouches and half a bowl of dry food
He's even eating food he wouldn't usually touch

The effect of steroids.

A little bit peckish momma

They say human flesh tastes like chicken. I like chicken...

What about cat milk? It must be cheaper given he Insists On The Best and it might slake his fearsome beastly famished cries.

He's had some kitten milk
Pay day tomorrow so I shall stock up. He's gone under the bed now for a food coma nap

Well blimmin' done. You must be shattered after all that sprinting about with plates and drinks, like a lone waitress serving a coach party. :) Mr C has had some iced water and is now spreadeagled flat on his back in full sun.

He's got chocolate ice cream on his whiskers.

Home to hungry cat. Another pouch down. He just licked my arm I feel like I'm being sized up for a midnight snack

It's the salt! They get hot and need minerals replacing.

Not cannibalism. Yet.

He's pacing the lounge and howling at me
I have offered pets, treats and toys. None are what he wants

He might have been, er, testing boundaries. Just been ripped out of bed to serve another feed. Thought of O as Mr C headbutted me, all wobbly and confused, into the kitchen, ignoring my squeaky pleas for the loo.

Be warned... Olli may become a cat of firm views.

Are you all right after the Ginge love that shredded your hands?

How goes it C - have you got to the stage where doing nothing is a) possible b) not stressy or painful. I hope so. Expect PB has been reclining in state throughout, thanking you silently for the LW weather.

My hand is fine however I've developed some kind of random eye infection in one eye. Ollie keeps blinking back at me

cat kisses for you. Get some stuff from the chemist, they can give you antib drops that do the trick fast. Lovely.

What's the most stupid thing anyone can do when a GP says Do NOT do this yourself? even tho it only looks like hard foot skin?

a) book a podiatrist appt as instructed
b) as above, enquire re cost, slam phone down
c) youtube, ebay for scalpel, v smug re learning new skills, stab yourself in artery.

Within minutes of the ebay package arriving. To be honest, moments. Mr C came to check if I was all right, sweetly.

I have some golden eye ointment.
diy for the win, I lanced a stye once

Oh Lana you didn't try to get a corn out did you?.

You could try Footner? Don't blame me if your foot falls off though. And perhaps wait until the stab wound has healed

No, just attack the cracked callus on my heel but I dropped the scalpel into my foot instead. All fine now, it's stopped. I am a git

I'm a podiatrist, I don't take a scalpel to that part because the skin isn't as thick as it looks and it's a bugger to dress.

Apply doublebase gel 2 x a day, don't rub it in or it wont work.

A colleague of mine dropped a 15 blade scalpel into a branch of the femoral artery, blood everywhere in minutes and the dr couldn't stop the bleed so she had to have an ambulance to hospital so she didn't bleed to death.

The patient she was treating when it happened and saw the massive pool of blood complained he had to come back a later date to complete his treatment.

You can guarantee that patient's a male MNetter. Your poor colleague. Lucky escape.

You are brilliant, thanks so much. Thank God entirely because of you I don't have to do The Limp of Shame back to the doc. No need for wig & wooden leg false name etc now.

The cat's checked serving duties are unaffected and has lost interest.

Home and with a chamomile teabag on my eye. Ollie demanded eye wiping too so he's sat purring while I wipe his eyes with cotton wool

Typical.

How many kg did his snacks weigh today?

I haven't a clue. He's had three wet pouches/trays and half a bowl of dry food
Zooplus order gone in, postman might do his back in lugging that lot
He's on Asda own brand pate at 30p a tray while he's eaten this much!
