Lucius is a drama queen

[mybackup2022]

Did I mention that Lucius got a tiny piece of litter stuck in his wound? Well, I tried to remove it last night together with Janine--hopeless. So, another visit at the vet's this morning. I'm sure it hurt, but I'm equally sure it didn't hurt that much. It took two people (the assistant and myself) to hold ze boy down, while the doctor picked the piece out of his ex-balls with a pair of tweezers. In order to avoid being snubbed for the next few months, I offered catnip drops immediately after we had arrived at home. His Royal Grumpiness accepted them graciously and doesn't seem too pissed off at me.
I'm still totally elated by the vet's compliment: he said I'm an exceptional pet owner, because nobody ever notices bits of litter stuck in the wound, so that people usually bring their cats when the wound has already begun to fester. Ha! I'm seriously considering painting "Exceptional Cat Owner" on a tee-shirt and wearing it proudly ;)

At least you don't have a girl kitty. The feline from whom I jacked my handle chewed out every one of her stitches the day after she got back from the vet. It was lovely.
