Now that Henry has lost his nuts, so to speak, I see them everywhere.
woozy but fine
Henry has come through his op with flying colours (orange yellow and pink in this case). I collected him a mere hour after the procedure, he slept (more or less) for another two, then proceeded to jump on the kitchen counter. Lothar winced – but Henry obviously felt no discomfort as he jumped down again. And up again. And down again. Up to now I only had girl cats so I was a bit surprised but quite happy about his speedy recovery.
guilt
It is quite impressive how much guilt a cat can induce simply by turning his back on you. Or sitting in front of his empty feeding place. Or sitting on your lap. — He even managed to give me a blazing headache.
the kindest snip
Henry is not impressed with us. We forgot to feed him today.
Actually, we didn’t. He is not having any food because he is going to the vet this afternoon to be neutered. – Yes, I know it’s the sensible thing to do. For catdom in general as well as for Henry’s personal well being. But still … *sigh*
top of the morning to you
There’s nothing like waking up with a neck brace.
do what you must do
After being rubbed down by me yesterday, Henry decided today without my urging that a good clean was necessary. He looked kind of embarrassed but also defiant.
naughty corner
Henry came home smelling … well, not of roses. As he showed no intention to clean himself in a hurry, I dragged him into the bathroom, took a damp wash rag and pretended to be a cat mommy and mopped him down. I only have a few scratches to show for it but also a much sweeter smelling Henry.
I didn’t send him in the naughty corner, he went all by himself.
fingerlicking good
No idea where I had my index finger earlier but it seems to taste awfully good to Henry. He is busy sandpapering it with his little spiky tongue. My finger is already raw.

chore disabler
“Thou shalt not iron!” — I love Henry.
opposable thumbs
It has been said that if cats had opposable thumbs and could therefore operate a tin opener they wouldn’t need humans any more and take over the world.
I think we are doomed and it’s our own fault. We sell cat food not in tins anymore but in little boxes with aluminium lids and in aluminium pouches. Have you seen what a claw can do to these containers?
Right.
