I have a new ArchNemesis … actually two of them. They are Lackie and Ollie and they live with Pe – and yesterday when Uncle Wayne went over to theirs to help their mother with some jobs, they attacked him and made him sick! His face was all red and swollen on one side and he was having trouble breathing by the time he arrived back here. He looked as though he’d gone at least three rounds with each of them … but as it turned out, they hadn’t touched him. He was having a sinus attack brought on by his close proximity to those other cats – and this was a bit surprising because he’d taken a cat allergy pill in preparation of seeing them. Hmmm … poor him …. it hadn’t worked. When he arrived home he had a big shower to wash every bit of fur or dust or whatever off him. He then did something to make his nose clean, shiny and bright. And then he just took it easy for the rest of the day – although there wasn’t much of it – they didn’t get home until after 3.30.
Even if he hadn’t done a lot of jobs over at Lackie and Ollie’s, the cat attacks had taken their toll. He tried to stay up late but he couldn’t and he was off to bed by 8:30pm. I sat at his door and let him know I was there for anything he needed … but he didn’t come out again until just after midnight. I know this because I overheard Kaz telling Sooz this morning – she was the only one who was still up – watching a very long (and in some places very loud) movie on my new mega large and slightly huge television which they brought home with them from Lackie & Ollie’s – because Pene said they could.
