Oh this is charming. All that money and fussing and now he claims it was 'Spangles' kiss' that made him better. Cats!

About
I sometimes ask myself what I'd do if I didn't earn my living from writing and editing books, and I have yet to find a satisfactory answer. So I'm very grateful to be a published author. So far, it's my non-fiction that's been published but I've set myself the goal of getting a publishing contract for some fiction by the end of this year. (Did you hear me, Universe?)

by Inktrailer 3 days agoThanks Spangles:-) No idea how he did it, but he seems perkier this morning and is moving better, and not hissing at me when I try and touch him. He's even let me tickle his tummy and pushed me with his back legs so *fingers crossed* that he is better and not just numbed by the painkillers.
