Cat's eye

[bunn]

Just a brief note to self that today was the day I took Fankil to the vet because his eye was swollen.  He has a small ulcer, has had antibiotics and (oh no!) we have five days of eye drops for him.  I am not optimistic about achieving five days of twice daily eye drops, but we shall try. 

Asked about angry cats that will not get on, and was recommended a pet remedy valerian spray.  I don't know if it makes them more likely to get along, but Gothmog seemed very blissed out by it.

The eye drops were actually pretty good. They seem to have done the job.

I think you may be right on the valerian having variable impact. I gave Fankil a dose of it, then went through and stroked Gothmog for a bit with my hands all covered in the spray (and it definitely does give her confidence, she went and looked out of the windows at the builders, and ignored Fankil peering through the screen at her).

Feeling this was going well, I took the handful of Goth-fluff that I had gathered in stroking and offered it to Fankil, who immediately bit me really hard, drawing blood from my finger and hand! So. Better not do that again, I think. :-/
