Paws, Ollie, Captain V and all the rest

[Papergirl1968]

New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

I'm allergic to sugar soap - come out in a hot rash all over & have breathing difficulties. I think my DF somehow thought I was like that on purpose, to get out of helping him decorate, but he couldn't deny the rash and the Darth Vader impressions.

Just searched ingrown toenail removers on Amazon - it looked like a medieval torture catalogue! Mine doesn't currently do big thick browths, it just decides to get regular infections. 2 weeks antibiotics, and that entire toe is still a darker hue than the rest of my foot.

Ah I see, I thought it was just a bit thick. www.candure.com/candurer-toe-ingrown-nail-clippers-nail-nippers-cutter-solid-stainless-steel-podiatry-chiropody-instruments-4-5-11-43-cm-perfect-solution-for-ingrown-nails-and-cuticles-as-well-ce-approved.html

Give them a good soak in bleach before using.

Ooh, look at those bad boys You'll hear the shriek when I'm done, see it as a thank you.

Sorry to all for lowering the tone - and thanks to Fluffy for acting as a lockdown medical consultant of note

I bought a microplane foot file. Ollie watched me horrified as reams of dry skin fell off

Those are similar to mine, Fluffy.

Emotional journey: first catnip mouse.

Aww, Lana! Looks like Cap’n Valentine enjoyed his play.

Has he ever had a toy mouse before? It’s amazing how their instincts tell them what to do isn’t it? We have no hunting skills left.

Ah well reminded. The Molly mice have been put way for a few days, time to get them out methinks!

I am in achey heaven. My chiro broke lockdown rules to give me a treatment (both theoretically on 12 week isolation). I know really REALLY ache, but have the knowledge that I will be able to sleep now and feel sooo much better by tomorrow.

First Mouse. Cap'n' made friends with it, prior to sucking it.

When it comes to hunting skills, my primordial brain was pre-programmed millennia ago for yellow sticker.

Ollie has helpfully developed a limp
Extra points for mid pandemic and the one day the vet is closed

I wonder why they livk them? Asbo would dribble all over his.

How bad is the limp?

Which leg? Last time it healed overnight, don't worry Queen. Give it till the morning.

That mouse has been licked to death. Or drowned. Luckily there is a spare.

Having had a good prod, it's his back leg possibly hip however he's scuffed all his back claws so it looks like a VET trip

My Diagnosis: pulled leg muscle having missed a skid down a wall (Dr Lana, MD (failed)).

Can you trim the claws - they grow like mad at this time of year anyway.

M&S has started selling Dreamies. Now that's customer power in action - Capn V wrote to them while I was asleep the other day.

Can't trim them - he's lost them all literally stumps left
I've sent the video and pics of his claws to vet nurse friend who thinks he's either been scrapping with another cat LIMPY or been clipped by a car

Oh blimey, poor Ollie

Oh poor Ollie 😢 hope he’s better soon

I'm not rushing him to out of hours because he's behaving perfectly normally, eating, demanding OUT NOW MAMA and happy. Plus the OOH are awful so would rather hold off

Oh no, sweethearts, tsk. Limpy's a bugger. How is he in himself?

I've shamelessly copied your cottage pie and Capn V is bouncing round the kitchen like a very large, very enervated, orange pompom.

Can Ollie use his tray ok?.

He obviously wants a sample
In himself? Being a pain in the backside as usual he's having a nap but isn't hiding away or anything

@Fluffycloudland77 saw him use it this morning so he's had a wee

Oh poor Ollie! That Limpy looked as if he liked a scrap but some drivers are definitely using the reduced volume of traffic to speed.

I made cottage pie too ClientQ Supersimkin2. I must be very suggestible. I was going to make lasagne but there were a lot of potatoes in the veg box so it was good to use them up.
