Molly Went To The Vet...

It was Molly's turn to go to the vet this afternoon for the first of her vaccinations...Suzy also shoved a worm pill down her throat.

Now she has a lovely record card with photographs of appealing small dogs and a rather cross looking fluffy cat on the cover...

Murphy's record card is plain and boring and intended for a dog...'cos he came from a home.

Molly has slightly inflamed lymph glands, which sounds unpleasant, but Suzy said not to worry about it...just means she might have had an infection that she's recovering from.

The surgery stank this afternoon of tom cat...some rescue people had been trapping feral cats in Sligo and had brought them in to be spayed, neutered and vaccinated...they have a tiny notch taken out of their ears, so if they are caught in another round-up, those doing the catching know that cat has already been done and can let it go immediately...

They get their ears cleaned out and any rotten teeth pulled...de-fleaed and de-loused then they go back to the area where they were caught...excellent system I think.

Molly was fine...she didn't seem to mind either the needle or the worm pill...the only time she looked worried was when a woman brought a cat in that yowled at the top of its voice...

I've found a place on-line which makes wire mesh to put over open windows...thank you to those of you who suggested it. Wouldn't have thought of that myself...
