Kittizen Tasha is back at the Vet.

Her "third" eyelid on one eye was looking odd over the weekend, and very pink this morning. She has a abscess behind the eye, probably connected to the infection that was in her gums. The vet tried to drain the abscess but apparently in their early stages, they are hard, and not easy to drain. So she will be on antibiotics and possibly another operation next week, possibly needing the eye to be removed.

I assume cats can manage with one eye, particularly as they are not dependent on catching their food.

I know that in comparison with flooding in Texas, and North Korea threatening Japan, Tasha's health is "small fry".

It helps considerably that the Vet explains things and the options and future treatment. I just hope the infection does not reach her brain.

Means a lot to you, though, and hence to us.

Mrs LL returned from her mum's with a DAB radio. I assumed it was for me, as she is more of a telly watcher. " I thought I would have it in the kitchen for when I'm cooking" was her reply. Won't get a lot of use then I said

I am now wearing my Veterinary Nurse outfit.

Tasha is in a very sorry state, I will not go into the gory details. She is very wobbley and has a plastic cone on her head. The vet has printed out all the details of her operation today, the care plan and what to do next, and all the relevant telephone numbers, in case there are any concerns.

GWS Tasha

Morning, it is grey and a bit chilly here.

Schrodie thought he would have porridge this morning. Mine!

Bournemouth Air Festival starts tomorrow. I hope the weather brightens up for the weekend.

Eeurgh, I'm soaked, I've not been outside in the rain but Kizzy has and she decided to share her sogginess with me by rubbing round my ankles and then jumping on my lap.

EDIT - Now Fifi has come in and done the same.

I think modern cats are too soft. My parent's old cats lived outside and were fed on milk, crisps, mashed potato and dinner scraps, mind you some of the meat scraps were slices of beef which my mum used to bring home from work.
They also used to get together outside our bedroom window at night for a group sing song.

My son just brought this to my attention http://www.puddingclub.com/pudding-club-meetings

In other news, Coventry is a bit damp this morning, it's also dull grey and cool, a total contrast to Monday's hot sunny day.

for you and Tasha. Here's hoping the abcess can be sorted without her losing an eye. If it comes to the worst, yes they can function perfectly well. A friend of ours adopted a blind cat in Saudi - he had lost both eyes and got along absolutely fine (as long as furniture wasn't unexpectedly moved).

Best wishes to Wol and Tasha.
I have just booked for a weekend of cycling in the Peaky District.
The current plan is to stay in a pub and ride the Tissington Trail, the Highly Peaky Trail, and Monsal Trail too.
I just hope the weather isn't too or generally

I like the Tissington Trail. Nothing to do with it being flat obviously

Another rat to dispose of this morning. 3 and counting

In other news - Ivan has developed a taste for layers pellets. Hope he isn't going to start laying eggs

I didn't know that Flagondries were such cycling fans.

Here is one taking a close look at my wheels.
