<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 1;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background: #000000;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: lime;"><span style="background: #000000;">I
made an appointment for him at the vet's.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">He
hid in a place where we couldn't get to him. I rang the vet's,
apologised and made another appointment, which was for the following
morning, as he had to be in early in case he needed sedation.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Morning
came and I managed to grab him and get him into his PTU. <span style="color: magenta;">Pinky
</span>arrived and was making coffee. <span style="color: #ff8080;">“Simba's
just gone out” </span>he said. He had his back to the cat flap.
<span style="color: #cc6633;">“Im right here Mummy” </span>said Simba,
and he was. Going to the kitchen, I looked out of the window and
there was alfie, halting in mid-three-legged run and grinning at me
mischievously. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">There
was no catching him. Once again I had to phone, apologise profusely
and make another appointment.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">At
first I thought Alfie had sprained or broken his wrist, but by now he
had a hard, black lump on his inner arm.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">The
next day we managed to get him into his PTU and down to the vet. By
now he had a full-blown, nasty abscess, which needed anaesthesia to
drain, so I asked if he could have his teeth done (which he needed)
at the same time. The vet agreed, as in view of his heart murmur the
less time he has to be anaesthetised the better.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">We
had to take him back for a couple of follow-ups and his arm and teeth
were fine.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Nice

<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #00ae00;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS, cursive;">Meanwhile,
the day after the first abortive attempt to catch Alfie, <span style="color: magenta;">Pinky</span>
tied up the back bedroom door so he couldn't hide in there again (the
door wouldn't stay shut). The next day was the one on which we
finally managed to get Alfie to the vet. When we took Alfie back for
his first follow-up three days later I was stressing out, not only
because of Alfie's injury but also because I hadn't seen Simba all
the previous night and day, nor had he appeared for his breakfast.
<span style="color: magenta;">Pinky</span> had bought a bolt and fitted it to
the back bedroom door when we got back from the vet's. I said, “Are
you sure Simba isn't in there?” “Yes” Pinky replied, “He was
in there, but I saw him come out”. “Please look again” I said.
He tried but couldn't get the door open. After cutting away the
rucked up carpet, out came Simba! Somehow he'd got back in there
while Pinky was tying the door. You can imagine my relief! (Bu66er
the carpet).</span></span></div>

Have you ever thought you should read the Bible? If so, go <a href="http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Main_Page">here</a>. I think most of you will be aware of this and have read some of it, but as it was Easter I felt like posting the link. As most of us beans have a sense of humour it surely follows that God does too!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wednesday I was just waking up, rolled onto my back, when Alfie jumped onto me and stood looking down into my face. "Aaargh" I said. "What's happened to you?" as I stared up into his red eyelined eyes. He didn't seem at all discombubulated but nevertheless, I bathed his eyes. The stuff was very thick and sticky so I couldn't get it all off, but here are some pics of him later:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Pinky brought me some lovely fresh vegetables from his garden, which I thought would go beautifully with griddled steak, so last Saturday I went down to the local Co-op to buy Aberdeen Angus beef - one of, if not <i>the</i>, best British beef you can buy, which I knew they sold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">None. No beef steaks of any kind. So, made a salad with some of Pinky's tomatoes, plus some cucumber and Greek-style yoghurt, accompanied by tinned salmon dressed with balsamic vinegar. Nice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Monday, went back to Co-op. Just one steak, a British beef sirloin, not specified as Aberdeen Angus and not one of my preferred cuts: fillet, ribeye or rump, but it looked halfway decent so I bought it. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Couldn't cook on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Won't bore you with the reason. Friday came and almost went... Felt so tired and cold! I shivered under the duvet. The Caramels were the bestest, bless their hearts. Alfie climbed into bed and cuddled up against my tummy, while Simba curled up in the crook of my knees on top of the duvet. I was the filling in a cat sandwich, gorgeous! Even so, I shivered, but eventually, zzzzzz...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Early evening I woke to find Alfie gone. Simba was still in position but as soon as I moved he jumped onto the dressing table and played music on the venetian blinds...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">We went downstairs and got "breakfast" again and oh gosh, last of the Whiskas' Pouches! This called for an emergency trip to the corner shop. You may be aware, dear reader, that I'm unsteady on my feet and this was the scariest excursion I've ever made. Suffice it to say that by the time I got home I was no longer cold.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">The steak was as tough as old boots. The mushrooms were bland and watery. I ruined the red wine sauce by reducing it too much and then topping it up with too much liquid due to clumsiness. I overcooked the potatoes (still don't know how) so they came out as hard as bullets (tasted delicious though!). Pinky's tomatoes were the redeeming feature - they cooked perfectly and were delicious!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Yesterday I went to the Eye Hospital for a check-up on how my squint is doing, accompanied, as usual, by my bestest frennid <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=690424575">Geoff</a>. My eyes haven't changed much, which is good, though I wish they would improve!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Anyhoo, while in Brighton we did what we usually do - a bit of shopping followed by delicious hot dogs from the stand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Geoff was bored out of his crust on this occasion because I was choosing lipstick (he hates lipstick!) and since all the shades have changed it took me a long time to choose, especially as Boots had an offer of 3 for the price of 2. Likewise with hair dyes! Eventually, a me chuffed with her bargains and a slightly grumpy Geoff made our way to the hot dog stand. "Whose turn is it to pay?" asked Geoff. "Well, I think it's me," I replied truthfully. Even if it had been Geoff's turn, I think I would have answered the same after what he'd had to endure!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Anyhoo, we enjoyed our lovely, delicious hot dogs and while doing so, noticed how few pigeons there were about begging us for scraps. On a previous occasion, we took these pictures on our mobile phones:</span></div>

Where are the cats when you need them? Every time I plucked up enough courage to look, there was Boris, standing in my bath, looking up at me angrily. He was too big for me to attempt to rescue him but I felt sorry for him so I poured a little water at the opposite end of the bath so at least he wouldn't die of thirst.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Oh joy! The Caramels were having a mad 5 minutes earlier and Simba followed me up to the bathroom... I hunkered down and played with him. I tapped the bath and he came over, almost jumped in, but didn't. Simba doesn't like to be picked up so I usually respect this.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">However, when we repeated the game, several things happened simultaneously: I tried to pick up Simba and put him in the bath and while he struggled I saw that Boris had come over to the side of the bath. One of Simba's arms was stretched out and suddenly Boris <i><b>jumped</b></i>!!! I thought he landed on Simba, who meanwhile was legging it out the door while I fell over...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">I picked myself up, brushed myself off, and started off downstairs... AAARRRGH! Halfway down there was Boris, on my t-shirt...</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Later I pointed out to Pinky that all seas are on land (think about it...) therefore the Brighton Aquarium, being full of sea water, could be a (very small) sea, hee hee!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">Anyhoo, yesterday, Thursday, I did have to go out, and oh joy! It looked like Boris had found his way out of the bath. I turned on the taps at shower setting and, remembering a previous Boris incident, gingerly lifted the non-slip mat. *Shudder*, there he was, clinging to the bottom of the mat and looking a bit wet and bedraggled. "Aaach", I screamed quietly, while dropping the shower and turning off the water. Boris climbed onto the shower-head and so I picked it up by the hose and swung it out of the bath onto the floor. Boris crawled off it and made his way slowly towards the window. He crawled up the wall and disappeared behind the radiator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 100%;">This morning I noticed a web spun between the left side of the window and the radio (which sits on the windowsill). No sign of Boris, but there were several dead flies (yes, I'm still fly-wrangling) on the sill... Good job Boris! Happy New Year!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I turned to greet him and, "Arrrrrrgh, where have you been Alfie? What have you been up to???"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZjDm-ifFlRs/TMhrl_KXquI/AAAAAAAABmo/pGZDfj0bsaE/s1600/P1010603.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZjDm-ifFlRs/TMhrl_KXquI/AAAAAAAABmo/pGZDfj0bsaE/s640/P1010603.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; text-align: justify;">I got up and went to the kitchen, knowing Alfie would follow me. He did, and while I was wetting a cloth he jumped up to his feeding station and stared at his empty bowl. I approached him, wetted cloth at the ready, thinking he would not appreciate being washed, but no! He purred and purred as I tried to get the black stuff off him, to no avail. The cloth only darkened slightly.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; text-align: justify;">Goodness knows what this stuff is, but it's not oily, doesn't flake off, and is odourless and tasteless (yes, I know... I did... But I was worried it might be poisonous...).</div><div style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire. The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded by the mouse’s behaviour. He said: ‘I have no idea where the mouse came from – he just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. He didn’t take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself.

But the determined little thing took no notice and just carried on.’ Sheena was brought in to the Santago Rare Leopard Project from a UK zoo when she was just four onths old. She is one of 14 big cats in the private collection started by Jackie's late husband Peter in 1989.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">On a graver note, I've been getting so many spam comments I've had to turn on comment moderation. Please don't be put off by this, I welcome all genuine comments, even if you don't have any accepted account and have to comment as "Anonymous". If you look at the comments on my last post you'll see how many I've deleted - though I've left a couple of the more "interesting" ones for your amusement: America causing the earthquake in Haiti? Ha! Of course! Before this I only ever had a couple of spam comments over a long time-span. Why the sudden splurge? I know I'm not the only "victim".
