Small update on jury duty and cat

[jack_ryder]

Don't have to go in today, but have to ring in tonight to see if I go in tomorrow.

Can't wait till this is over.

BTW - Trixie is in hospital - she's having an abscess removed and hopefully we pick her up tonight. Last night was odd without her around and murasaki_1966  couldn't sleep for worrying.

At least we know she wasn't involved in the cat fight that went on outside our window at 4am.

Trixie, that is. I don't think murasaki_1966  was involved either.

oh noes! Poor Trixie!

She had got in another fight and we found a lump in her stomach that was sensitive. She had to go to the vet anyway for her vaccinations and he suggested that the abscess be removed. She should be fine tonight (she appears to have a kind of resignation when she goes to the vet now - doesn't struggle or cry, just waits for it to be over.)

Ha! Smersh is like that. He gets what it's for.

Best wishes to Trixie!

These days we always keep our cats inside at night. There are too many other cats in the neighbourhood, and too many fights.

I hope Trixie is feeling beter tomorrow!

We've tried to keep her in at night.

Oh, how we've tried.

It's when she somehow got her paws on a circular saw that we thought we should put a cat door in.

Unfortunately you have to train them from kittenhood. Both of ours have always been kept in at night, and these days they come inside of their own accord as soon as it starts to get dark. We've never managed to train an adult cat to do it.

Yes.

Trixie's "kittenhood".

From what we could work out, she was pretty much an abused street urchin.

Who has now taken to eating her food off the kitchen floor. She doesn't like it in the bowl.

She is without many distinctive cat behaviours but we love her just the same.

From what we could work out, she was pretty much an abused street urchin.

With a background like that it's probably quite impossible to keep her in at night!

We used to have a cat like that. A street kid cat. She hated the entire world, except for us! But with us she was really friendly. Vets were terrified of her - she'd become Psycho Killer Cat as soon as she got into the surgery.

glad murasaki wasn't involved.

I was tempted. It was bloody noisy.
