take me to the feeling
I don't think I have ever seen this cat in a state of anything less than complete boneless lassitude, so it doesn't seem that unlikely
I'm very jealous, although I do meet some cats walking round who love. One just down the way from me I met the other day and he/she was so quickly their back I was a little bit distrustful. Surely we humans should have to work for that honour?

Ok, need to tell some one, my Wilbur just beat the shite out of me. It’s my own fault. Tonight when he came in after his “sentry duty” I was bugging him. Having had a little brandy I obviously went too far wiggling his bum calling him the bum bum boy. Actually I’m in real pain he went for left side of my face and next thing immense pain and blood streaming down face dropping in living room kitchen bathroom floor and sink.too scared to open left eye in case inside eye. Whew! Big gouge under eye and over brow. Wilbur has very thick claws which no one can trim and those teeth! Winnie my other is so docile. It was my own fault but it is quite bad and has turned into black eye. Eww, blood is even under boob on midriff and on left slipper. It hurts and I’m no whiner. I refuse to yell it’s not his fault we love them they don’t like when our behaviour changes.

Not being over dramatic. But maybe a visit to the hospital?
Cat inflicted injuries are really good at getting seriously infected, seriously fast. I saw a medical program once where someone ended up in hospital for a week on a antibiotic drip from a cat attack. Cats claws are really dirty.

Seriously Mab - get professional medical treatment (your doctor, a primary clinic or hospital, it doesn't HAVE to be accident & emergency) soon, that wound will need cleaning and you may need antibiotics. It's your face after all and too near your eye to be messing about with. A bit of clawing on the arm or leg would be different, you could wait until the limb went black and dropped off (joke....) but if it's your head, I'd go for proper help and treatment.

Not to worry you too much Mab but I recently came across an incident where a man was bitten by a dog, seemed ok but a couple of days later was taken to hospital and died of sepsis. So I would echo to seek medical treatment and seek emergency medical treatment if you develop a temperature and/or flu-like symptoms.

Mrs Voltz has been concerned about Clive's eyes. Both are cloudy he is not in any discomfort and can see perfectly well enough to hunt and fight with his brother but for peace of mind we took him to the vets for another check up. He had one last year of so and was fine.
This evening was different. My blood was drawn.
Seems he's got a few teeth that need coming out and whilst he's out they're going to do a few blood tests and a general look around

Just had an email from someone who had heard about Pablo dying on Saturday who said he has a litter of 8 black and white kittens that were born on Saturday and would we like one. The old hippy in me says that clearly, Pablo's soul has transferred into one of these cats so we should immediately bring the wee man home (the anarcho punk in me obviously says get a fucking grip of yerself).
Need to wait 8 weeks to get him/her but questions for the experienced cat owners: Can you realistically bring up a kitten if Mrs S works in the mornings? I'm often working from home but sods law says that the day kitten arrives I will be sent to work away for a month. Can we leave a kitten on its own for 3-4 hours a day? What other things do I need to know? Obv need to get it sterilised and vaccinated. Anything else? Pablo was a rescue so had been sorted out before we got him.

I have left kittens on their own while out at work a whole day and they've been absolutely fine. I left a 7 week old kitten who I'd inadvertently got from her mother too young with my (then) middle-aged tom. They quickly became best mates. I wish she got on as well with her current companion.
When I got home from work I frequently used to find my cats in the same position on the bed as I'd left them in when I went out.
Microchip as well as vaccines and neutering.
