Hair, Smokie and Becky

Mom said this was her yesterday, 

and she did not care!!

Mom left us first thing this morning 

but later then she does when she

goes to work. She told us all

good bye and to be good. Said

she was going to help Aunt Kim 

with Smokie and getting him to 

the vet.

We all wanted to run and hide

with that V word being said

but mom left with that being

said so we all felt safe.

Aunt Kim texted mom 

at five this morning and wanted

to know if Mom would help

her gather up Smokie to take

him to the vet. Mom set the

clock and went back to sleep.

Mom got over there and they

had to get him out from under

the bed. Aunt Kim sort of pushed

him out with a broom and mom

grabbed him. She wrapped him 

up and held him while Kim drove.

Here is a pic of mom sitting in 

the waiting room holding Smokie.

She said he sat in her arms like that

for an hour.

See Smokie is an inside and outside

cat. Yesterday he came in and went

right under the bed. Then later he

got on the bed but Kim said he never

moved. This morning mom noticed

he was limping. Smokie had an 

abscess on his back paw between 

his toes. The vet shaved the area

and cleaned it up but she said that

it looked like something had been

chasing him and it bit him on the paw.

Anyway, he is on meds for pain and 

meds for infection. Mom said he will

be fine but this is the second time 

this has happened. Mom hopes she 

has Aunt Kim convinced that he

just needs to stay inside. 

While mom was at their house

she went looking for Becky.

Beck was in the window behind

the blinds, and looking at mom.

Mom said she loves us to pieces

but she also loves her niece and 

nephew cats also. I know she has

taken Smokie, Beck and Zu

all to the vets so Kim or Mark

don't have to take off work. 

Anyway, Smokie has meds in 

him and he is doing better. 

You know, us furs need to 

hang together. I am glad 

he is better.
