Thankyou for your helpful advice yesterday. We were particularly appreciative to see that mum should not try to comfort us too much, or we would think something was wrong. We didn't know that. So she will do her best to try and keep things normal. Whicky, you are a very clever kitty:)
My friend Goldie asked how my eye is, and this is mum's report:
"Great! He is not blinking or squinting, and it all seems to have cleared up on it's own! The vet is mystified as to what went on, as are we. Looks like Fui is even weirder than we first thou-".
That's quite enough from you, thanks mum!
This morning mum and dad took Odin and Thor back for their hoohaectomies. They bought three little girl kittens home with them! They had horrible ears, so mum took them right back. They had one of the worst cases of ear mites the shelter people had seen, and spent aaaaaages getting all cleaned out. Hopefully they are more comfortable now, and can get forward with the business of being a kitten.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce:
Miss Polly Smitten-Kitten, a cute little floofball.
Miss Sally Smitten-Kitten, a lovely little tabby (like me, except I'm not little).
and Miss Penny Smitten-Kitten, a little tabby and white cutie pie.
The girls are about the same size as Freja, Apollo and Athena. Loki has taken on the role of kitten sitter, and seems to be really enjoying it.
Apollo is coming along in leaps and bounds. When they first came home, mum was a bit worried about him, as he was very lethargic, and not too interested in food. With some TLC, and some special attention from Loki (he is such a good kitten sibling!), he is now thriving. He is very funny, too. When the Smitten-Kittens first got here, they were pretty nervous and hissy. One of them was lying on the floor by Apollo, and she hissed at mum. Then Apollo looked at mum and gave a little half hearted hiss. Mum told him he was a silly billy, and reached forward to give him head rubs. At that point, he started purring his head off. He's a funny kitten head:)
I'm staying up tonight to watch the Inauguration with mum. We have to stay up till 3am before it starts! After seeing what I looked like in my Obamicon picture yesterday, I have Presidential aspirations.
(Fui, Australia doesn't have a President. We have a Prime Minister).
Yes but mum, I didn't want to leak my desire to be World Overlord too soon! So shush! Anyway, we hope everyone is having a happy week so far:)
Fui's eye is still a little puffy, but is looking better. The vet had warned that if it wasn't looking better in a couple of days, they would need to put him under to make sure there was no injury to his conjunctiva, but at this stage we don't think that will be necessary. Which is very very good!
