The kittens don't like Hills m/d and are therefore extra grouchy about the reduced rations. They don't realise that working off their frustrations by energetically playing Chase! is perfectly in line with The Evil Vet's Plan [FX: bwh-ha-ha]. A shame that I just heard someone hiss :-(

My immune system is banging away at something - the lymph nodes at my throat feel almost 'mumpy', and those under my arms, like buboes :-( The doctor thinks it's the stress (I also have an autoimmune condition). So I'm mostly confined to barracks today (and by the heavy rain).

Upsides: It's spring!; I have a chickpea cooking project (the search for perfect hummous continues, and I need outstanding chana daal recipes?); I have lots of online volunteer noodling to do; I have Skype (do you?)'; I have kittens; and I've had no more emergency phone-calls from the hospital (yet).

I've been meaning to ask you... is your vet familiar with Siamese and Orientals. Does he know they all have that bag of loose skin just forward of their back legs? Only if said bag of loose skin contains loads of fatty tissue can the cat be regarded as fat. Can you feel Mr Pointy's ribs? (A much better way of telling in this breed.)

Of course, he was always known as "Three breakfasts Lupin."

The vet seemed to have some familiarity with orientals. I can barely feel his ribs, and there is definitely some fatty tissue in the bag. We've been free-feeding Boofy because he lost so much weight with his thyroid, but clearly that problem has now reversed!

I take it you're a fan of Six Dinners Sid, also poster kitten for the polyamorous world :-)

Mais oui!

Also of Slobcat.

And Mog.

Six Dinner Sid is my hero.

As for breakfast, add in there lunch, dinner and anything else going. That cat is a vacuum cleaner.

There is now an audio version of SDS available, read by Peter Sallis ... [FX:faunch!]

Mr Pointy has reduced to a fine art the knack of charging around at 100 miles per hour going Wong! ... and making a bowl full of food instantaneously disappear at the same time,.

Did you notice how he also does a stunning impersonation of the Skekses?

I bawled my eyes out in Waterstones over the final Mog book (couldn't bear to buy it)!

I know what you mean.

And we can claim Judith Kerr as one of our own, as she is married to Nigel Kneale.
