Cats, big and small

What are your favorite animals?

He looks small, but the floral print is really big.

Big cat

I love all cats, that includes Tigers and Lions, cheetahs, snow leopards, ocelots, domestic cats, or any other form of feline. I don’t think I’d like to meet a real big cat, I wish they could be left alone in the wild. I read somewhere that there are more big cats in captivity, or kept as pets, in America, than in the wild. Our obsession with them is causing massive decline in their populations. And yet domestic cats have become pests in some countries. They have decimated wildlife and are sometimes hunted to try and eradicate them. We live in such an upside down world. Too many people pursuing too few wild animals.

Poor cat

He’s on the stairs, sleeping. He’s just home from the vets. He’s got an abscess below his eye and it burst while he was at the vets. I’ve got antibiotics to give him for the next few days. It will be difficult because he doesn’t like having big tablets, he doesn’t like them crushed in food, so we will try with a syringe and a little bit of water again. He hates having his eye wiped, I want to get in there and bathe it but he struggles and fights back, poor cat.

Cat asleep

He’s on the edge of the settee and looks like he might slide off! Fast asleep, taking up all the space. I’d like to sit there but I’ve been ousted from the space by this cat! I went to make a coffee and he snuck up. I have a seat on an armchair. And as if on cue, my girl cat just came up and tried to sharpen her claws on my leg. She’s taken over my footstool. Cats rule in this house!
