OUCH!!!!

Tom: I am doing the writing today, since Sen-Chan is a little... incapacitated...

We went out this morning. The sun was shining, briefly, and #1 thought he could have a quick romp. Needless to say, it was the usual thundering gazelles scenario:





And then, all of  sudden, #1 noticed that the gazelle wasn't thundering in quite the same way. He was limping badly. So, she brought him back into the house, checked him out and found that he wouldn't put any weight on his left rear paw. She called the vet who said that he had probably just pulled something and to let him be for a few hours, and see if it got better spontaneously. There was no really sensitive area when #1 handled the leg, so she decided to wait. Sen-Chan saw this is a golden opportunity to loll about, looking distressed and handsome (probably hoping that Isis would rush over to nurse him...)






May I just mention that he got onto the sofa back and bed unaided... Anyway, we had to go out for lunch, and he did seem better when we returned. He is putting weight on the paw, although still limping a bit. So, hopefully , that will be the end of this little ouchy episode.

In conclusion, here is a photo of me, in case you might miss me otherwise:

  12. Dear Tom,
    We would indeed miss your stunning form if not also included, so thank you. Also, to our eyes, you blend in with the grass and trees so well.

    And thank you for assisting Sen-Chan by blogging for him during his recovery. It's not always easy being a cat! He sure makes recovering look GOOD!

    Purrs,
    Abby & Stygia

    PS. We miss Ms. C but we have been keeping very, very busy with our own game of herd f thundering elephants. Can't lose our skill with that just because she is not here to see it.

    Hope you feel better soon.
