The end of the road

RouXy yesterday evening on the big bed upstairs

The end of the road is not far for RouXy. I took him to our vet’s this morning. He was so weak. Except for the few minutes when he decided to visit the car. The 15-and-a-half-year old cat was a lively kitten again!

We are back here now and RouXy wants neither eat nor drink. He is dozing on a mat in the bath-room.

The first thing the vet said is: “He looks pale. The inside of his ears is nearly white.” She checked his body temperature. It was below normal. No wonder he avoids going out in the cold and keeps in warm places. Blood test was okay except urea slightly too high. But red blood cells were much too scarce. There seems to be ascites in his abdomen. Could be leukaemia or kidney cancer…

Frimousse’s Master

 

 

 

Winter-time

White, black and all shades of grey. Only the balls, which my Mistress put on the fir tree, bring spots of red. Winter-time… But next week the landscape may be very depressing. They forecast rain on Tuesday…

My Master gave us our breakfast. Then, RouXy stayed in front of the stove for a moment, probably to show to what extent his fur is blazing. Afterwards he went to the bathroom to lie down on a mat, his habit these days. I, Frimousse, went upstairs. Which sofa? What bed? I have the choice!

My Master thinks of this message of Minister for Health, broadcasted on the radio and on the TV, inviting weak people to stay home, if they don’ have to go out, to avoid catching the flu. My Master, who sees evil everywhere, thinks of homeless people. And, very angry, says: “Disgraceful, Madam Minister!”
