h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Miah has been limping. Her front left paw is sore. Susan noticed it on Thursday evening, since when it has got worse, but not massively. She isn't in pain, and still wanted out last night (aye, and didnae come home 'till after 4, on a cauld dark windy rainy night).

Anyhow, Susan has taken her off to the vet. Susan and I are supposed to be lunching at my mother's today. Hopefully, the vet won't take too long.

I'm still half-tempted to go to see Hairspray today. I was dubious about the thought of a remake - how to improve upon, if not perfection. then, at least, CLASSIC Gonzo) - but then I saw the pictures of Travolta...

This morning is pretty much the same as last night, except with a wee bit more light.

Vet diagnosed cat bite, mmmn. You should have heard her curse swear and growl. The previous five patients had let out three brief yelps between them.

It obviously was sore, a quick drain of the pus, antibiotic and pain killing injections have helped. The vet gave me antibiotics tablets for her but did not hold out much hope of my getting her to injest them. I am considering making up a gallon of salt water and dipping her as a dish of warm water and cotton wool might leave me with a trip to casualty.
