cat bum

First the Dog... now the cat.

He squinted at me, as usual, then meowed inpatently for me to make the bed for him to settle onto. "George your an arse" I said and went to pat him on the head. It felt wet, so i pulled my hand away to examine. A foul, pungent smell hit me as i raised my hand to my face. A sticky substance had left a shiney smear on my palm. I gagged. "George!" I exclaimed, "what have you been up to!"
On closer (breath held) examination I discovered an oozing absess had erupted above his left eye. His fur had stuck to the puss leaving it looking like a bad combover.
Icalled for Mike to hold the cat while i tried to clean the absess with a warm damp cloth, but the more I wiped, more puss oozed. "This is a job for the vet" I said, stepping back to get a gasp of fresh air. "His head smells like arsehole, so I'll call first thing".
At doctor dogs (as his licence plate says) george sat purring his wiskers off while the vet took his temporature. "Nothing there to be concerned about", he said reasuringly, "what usually happens is a cat will bite its opponant and leave whatever they licked off their arse as a present to rear its ugly head later on. We can usually tell which bacteria is left by the way it smells".
"It smells like cat bum", I said, "yep ",he replied, "it does".

We pick George up this arvo, after sedation and flushing of the absess is complete. they will have to shave around the area,so I'll have to call him Captain steubing for a while. I'll post the humiliating picture soon.
