Today has mostly been about Mr Fidget so far. Vets this morning at 9am, for his vaccinations. Can't believe its been over a year now since we got him. Feels like he's always been here.
So, he was fine on the way there, just a couple of cries. Complained a bit more once inside, but didnt get really upset until another cat came in and was making lots of noise. He was fine for the injection, the worming tablet was more tricky, but we got it down him in two goes. The vet intimated that he might be a bit fat. She said, if i were to recommend one thing, it would be to take what you are feeding now, and only give him 2 thirds of it. so i pointed out that we don't actually feed him that much, and he never eats it all anyway, so he must be scavenging from other houses.
Not much we can do to control his food intake if he's getting it outside of the house, but in a show of good faith I've only given him half a pouch of food this morning. He went out for a bit but is now snuggled up in the quilt sleeping off his feeling ill. He hasn't sulked at me though, which is good.
Tidying up the house just now, went to put some LARP kit into my old laundry bin where we keep stuff for hand washing, and spotted a minidisk in it which had fallen in off the shelf. tipped it upside down to get it out, and some fluff came out too. lookd back inside and there was a large clump of fluff so I reached in and took it out. To discover that I was now holding the dessicated remains of a dead mouse. So, lots of telling Mr Fidget off for leaving it there, and now i have thrown it all away. I have explained to Mr Fidget that dead mice belong in teh garden, and if he feels like bringing us presents, he should just give us an extra cuddle.
settling down in front of the telly now, for three world cup games :-)
