Number 1 in a continuing series.
Young Roxy is currently a bit unwell; what with having some general anaesthetic last week and having varoius bits removed. She’s managed to pick up a little infection in the wound so we’re having to feed her some tablets.
Now, feeding cats is a complicated procedure, up to fifteen steps are required according to this reputable guide. The final steps are as follows:
14. Consume remainder of scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room. Sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15. Arrange for RSPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
However, when Roxy doesn’t simply eat the tablet like a treat, there’s only one step required to get her to ingest it: surround said tablet in meat. The above guide recommends bacon, but I find that fitting it inside a cocktail sausage does the job nicely…
We misread the instructions and now our little Mogwai will only take her medicine if it is concealed in a cocktail. It’s a bloody pain having to shake a Manhattan 4 times a day and then give it to the bloody cat…
Funnily enough, that works well for me as well. I find that work tends to have a bit of a fit when I produce Asda’s pre-mixed mojitos and claim that it’s for medicinal purposes.
