Fact: Baggy would never make a nurse, veterinary or otherwise! How Calum and Baggy's sister Debby coped looking after Baggy, is completely beyond Clever Bird. Furry Mama is struggling looking after the Hinge cat and it has only been two days so far. But at least Baggy could speak and let people know how she was feeling and what she needed, poor little Hinge cat does speak, but Furry Mama keeps having to say "no". Because Hinge is so over weight, "big-boned", she gets constipated. So for a long time now, she has preferred to go outside to poo - probably because the cat litter hurts her little paws. (Clever Bird did try the soft paper cat litter, but neither cat would use it.) If she can't go out, she tends to use a bath mat!!!! At least they wash. But of course she is not allowed out at the moment, so Clever Bird keeps plopping her on the litter; she hops off again. Furry Mama has even told her she can use the bath mats - she hasn't done. Furry Mama is a bit concerned that she doesn't know when Hinge last did any of her ablutions. Freda Fretter is stressing over it! Hinge has always been a large cat, even when they arrived in Baggy's life she was much larger than Bracket.
But she is a very happy cat and Furry Mama is struggling seeing her "wounded". Poor Minty Mutt is struggling too! He wants to lick her better and keeps getting shouted at for trying. The last thing Hinge needs is the wound getting infected, especially as she is struggling to eat much, so Freda is not sure if she is getting all her antibiotics. As Baggy is allergic to penicillin, it is all proving a bit of a drama. So hats off to Calum and Debby and all nurses everywhere for your patience and understanding of your patients' needs - you all deserve massive thanks and appreciation. Baggy is just rubbish at it.........
