how does one make a cat take his pill like a good cat? How can 1 person do it? first, you have to hold the legs down so that they don't insert Claw of Doom into your hands and arms, and then you have to prise open the mouth, to reveal fangs of doom and Hiss of Evil. Plus, the cat then hates you for the rest of the evening and won't go anywhere near you - which is a real drag when you are trying to help him recover after an operation. I maintain that it's physically impossible.

Not to mention the fact that I'm on my own for a week. The house suddenly seems huge, yet I don't actually want to move away from my PC, except maybe to the kitchen to get a drink. I think I'm lonely. Still, on the plus side I know that doribore got to her parents ok, coz she phoned me and told me so.

So, now I'm left looking after the cat, trying to give him pills (and avoid being ripped to shreds at the same time), and trying to get him to eat stuffs. This is more difficult that it sounds. I'm supposed to be going out to play cricket on Saturday and Larp on Sunday. Given that I'm supposed to be also watching the cat to make sure he is ok.... I don't know. I'm sure something will work itself out. Back to see the vet tomorrow, so will have a chat with them about it to see what they say.

Still, at least I'm off work.......
