LIFE WITH OUR NEW SLAVES
- Part Two
In the last
issue of Cat Chat my sister, Sykie, told you about our move to our new
slaves, Yvonneand Malcolm. She has nagged me into putting paw to keyboard
to tell you what has happened since (mostly to me!)
In early December when our slaves were writing Christmas cards I was
in deep meditation on the dining room table when the peace was shattered
by a loud bang as a silly pigeon crashed into dining room window just
behind me. The shock of being so rudely brought to life caused me somersault
onto the dining chair aggravating an old war wound, which my slaves
knew not thing about.
A few days later my No. 1 slave discovered by my frantic and fruitless
digging that I was having trouble in the litter tray department and
1 was taken to the Cat Clinic in Southsea where a nice (Aunty Patti),
not knowing my medical history, thought 1 had feline cystitis and gave
me tablets take which weren't too bad. It was only when the problem
returned in the New Year that an X-Ray revealed the extent if the injury
to my back. I was given a further course of treatment but before this
had time to work I had to be rushed back to the Clinic on a Saturday
night where Patti's colleague Trudi aided by her husband Simon, both
dressed in evening wear and on their way Patti's birthday party did
some unspeakable things to me, which did the trick.
I have had to make several visits to the Cat Clinic since, where the
nurses Lisa Dawn and Rachel have helped me to recover and become members
of my fan club.
Sykie, meanwhile, has had to join their weight watchers group as she
has become a real eat ing -machine and we are now on special (and different)
diets. This is causing our slaves some problem which we are probably
making worse as we are having great fun in swapping dishes, meaning
they cannot be too sure whether we are eating the correct quantity of
our diets. Just to make matters worse for them, but to cause great fun
for us, we are still having our fish ration which we have been able
to increase, as I will only eat my tablet mixed with fish while I like
eating the majority of biscuits from a dish hidden beneath their pillows
while they are asleep at three or four o'clock in morning!
Life is still good fun for both of us despite my troubles and long may
it remain so! Dictated by Prof with a few chuckles from Sykie in the
background to his No.1 slave Malcolm.
