Medical Update

Thank you all so much for your good wishes! I have a luxating patella caused by my heroic charge into the front fence to defend my yard against an interloper. The Humans have told me that I will be going to a third vet next Wednesday for a surgical consultation. After that, I will have knee surgery to become a bionic Dog.

For all our Dog and Meowy followers, think very carefully about heroism. You don’t always get a medal. Sometimes, all you get is a visit to three–count them, three!–vets for your trouble.

Did you think you could participate in the Meowies’ Friday Night Catnip-fueled celebration because you are much bigger than the Meowies and therefore should have a much higher capacity for the ‘nip?

That was a mistake.

There are not enough hairs on your whole body to make up for last night’s miscalculation.

Teachers

Posted on by sevencatsandcounting

Good teachers must keep tabs on their pupils’ progress in order to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and set reasonable learning objectives.

For example, here is the Rookie Kitten’s interim progress report:

Paw-to-Paw Combat: Above Average

Sneak Pounce Attacks: Excellent (maybe too excellent)

Growth Rate and Energy Levels: Off the Charts

Facing the Right Way on the Treadmill: Needs Improvement 

Objective: Teach Rookie Kitten to face the right way on the treadmill. Turn the treadmill on HIGH. Take a well deserved nap.

Oh boy, I’ve got my paws full with this one.
