Three for TED
Took Waffles, Francis & Marble off to TED for their booster shots and annual
once-overs. Saw a new TED at the practice. A lady TED. Francis, scourge of TEDs since his unfortunate encounter with that darned fool young male vet a few years ago, was putty in the new lady TED's hands. Not a peep from him. No growls, no yowls, no hisses and certainly no bites. Makes me wonder if Francis's anti-TED thing is specifically and anti-male-TED thing. Marble was his usual wimpy self. He howled whilst in the cat carrier and promptly offered complete surrender as soon as I removed him from the carrier. Even Waffles, who could easily be Olympic champion in swearing at TEDs offered not a peep of resistance. All three duly had their jabs. Waffles may need to have the last of her teeth removed surgically at some point. Her remaining teeth are few and in not good shape, but they don't seem to be bothering her at the moment. Being an elderly lady, I'd like not to put her through the stress of an operation unless *necessary*. At the moment, it's not necessary. So it's a case of keeping an eye on her, checking her breath is not getting bad, making sure she continues to eat properly and if she doesn't - then that's when she'll have the risk of anaesthesia. But right now, she seems entirely content with life, she runs around, plays in the garden, hunts... does all the normal cat things and with seeming great enjoyment. Long may that continue. |

You know how bad Bandit(RB) was - putting one vet tech in the ER. But there was one doctor with whom she was always a perfect lady - he could poke and prod all he liked and she just sat there letting him do it without a peep.

enzymes help, even if I can't 'brush' them. Kyla "wafflycat" Took Waffles, Francis & Marble off to TED for their booster shots and annual once-overs. Saw a new TED at the practice. A lady TED.

Or so one of my cat fact books says. I'm sure we all know how rough a cats' tongue can be, and it'll cope very nicely with gooshy food. -- MatSav |
