Horrifying moment
July 18, 2003

The other day I was sitting at my fountain getting a drink of water when mommy came toward me. In her hand she had a giant toothbrush with foam all over it. She also had a strange smile on her face. I think that was one of my most horrifying moments ever. I had heard of cats getting their teeth brushed, but never thought it would happen to me. I thought that was why I went to the vets.

I was right. It wasn't a giant toothbrush after all. It was a scrub brush and she wanted to clean the fountain after I finished. That was a moment I won't forget! I don't know what the smile was about, maybe it was supposed to be funny. Whatever it was for, I didn't understand.

The scratch under my eye is mostly healed and I have only been called ScarFace twice since it happened. No one has called me just plain Scar either. The fur is growing back nicely too. Now a new problem has popped up. I have some sort of bite or something on the back of my neck. In the one place I can't reach I've got something. Everyone keeps poking at me and messing with my fur.

I was just informed that it has until the end of the weekend to get better, otherwise I'm being taken to the vets. Cross your fingers that it gets better quick. I really don't want to go to the vets.

Since I've gotten these little injuries, I haven't been allowed on the porch. Everyone is being really careful to not let me out there. It is worst when I can look out the door and see lizards relaxing in the sun on MY patio. Who do they think they are? Just wait, they'll get theirs. In other news, I have discovered the wonders of the front door windows. Lots of people walk dogs and there are little animals everywhere in the front yard. I need an enclosed patio out there!

Well, it's getting late and I need some catnip before bed. Time to find the jar and break into it. Night Diary.
