The trials of Tigger

[Dextrous63]

Tigger being my 8 year old cat, who some of you have been offering kind words and thoughts about over the last few days.  Thank you.

Took him to the vet who couldn't find anything broken in his rear off-side paw.  So he has been given some pain killer, and we have to keep him indoors.  If no sign of improvement, the next step will be an X-ray.  In which case, I intend to present myself at the nearest hospital with a self-induced broken arm and sneak Tigger in with me to radiology so I get the picture for free.

Obviously, while there, like any good tradesperson, they found that he has a heart murmur.  We opted for the monitor-it-ourselves-for-the-time-being-by-counting-his-breaths-rate-per-minute-while-he-sleeps approach for the time being instead of the ECG.  I shall have to think how to fake a heart attack and where to shift the sticky pads to on him and off my body at hospital.

I'm sure our one time radiologist on here might be able to offer advice.

In the meantime, we shall have to create a small en-suite for his litter tray somewhere within the house, as he has to be kept indoors for a while.

Naturally, this will involve having to get up numerous more times per 24 hour period to let our other cat in and out.

Pets, eh?
Dontcha luv 'em?
