we had an incident here the other day.. with seven cats running around its kinda hard not to...
The hubby went to sit in his recliner with out knocking it a few times to see if anyone was in there... and there was.. He reclined and all of a sudden we hear the worst screaming. He's not sure if he should close his chair all the way or what, so he closes it half way, and after a few agonizing moments scooter comes flying out and runs under the coffee table. We are still both quite shaken, but I eventually get up and check her out.. only thing was, I couldn't find her. I looked back under the chair (which was now in the reclined position even though the hubby wasn't in it any more) and I see something that resembles a cat that isn't moving and is half laying over the bar.. I panic beyond words. I make the hubby take a closer look.. turns out melvin wanted to find out what all the comotion was about and was fine, just exploring.. but didn't I almost pass out.
Still couldn't find scoot, she had found her way downstairs. I went down and got her, cause the hubby couldn't get close, and I cuddled her and checked her out, she was fine.. but she was scared to death to come back upstairs. I got her upstairs.. and then she did NOT want to go into the livingroom, so I sat as far away from the recliner as possible in that room.. and after a few moments she was comfortable enough to jump down and just walk around...
Everyone is now on antibiotics twice a day.. and still melvin looks like he's just seen a really sad movie. Bugsy seemed to have some dust on his eye this morning... sigh. They better get well soon!
Scooter has had a black spot under her chin for a while. today I decided to do something about it. I thought it was just food, but after it got wet, her fur turned redish... so now Im thinking it was flea dander.. which makes no sence what so ever as we don't appear to have flea issues. Maybe she did a while ago but they are gone now. But still.. under her chin/mouth is still a very very strange place for flea dander.. but regardless.. its gone now. she did NOT like the water on her at all.. sigh. I wonder if I can get the shelter to give them all baths before I adopt them :)
Btw.. we are going for different names for melvin (we are thinking filmore) and bugsy (we are thinking fluffy lumpkins) Any name suggestions?
