Life #2 Down, 7 to go

So the stupid Siamese (see below) had an adventure yesterday. TH let him in from the backyard, where he's had an ongoing battle with the squirrels going since we moved in. He's convinced they are pure evil and are plotting world domination. And, if you listen to the "Animal Conspiracy" by Tim Bedore, you would find there are those that agree with him. (It's on Bob and Tom periodically but I don't have a link).

TH noticed something odd about Bucky when he came in - he had a piece of METAL, somewhat hook shaped, in his EYE. It was, thankfully, between his eyelid and his eyeball, but still, it was in there pretty good. TH took it out (yuck, shudder, I'm glad he was there and not me) and proceeded to call me. Fifteen minutes later he was in the safe (but hated) hands of the vet receiving shots and ointment. We still can't figure out how he picked this thing up other than he was somewhere he shouldn't have been.

He's pretty miserable right now and can't go outside, but suffered no more than a scratched third eyelid. We suffered a $70 vet bill. I guess all things considered it could have been worse. Stupid cat, quit messing with the ninja squirrels. They mean business.

Squirrels provide recon for the animal conspiracy.

Tim Bedore thanks you. But who knew that squirrels had taken up cat fishing.

I think I threw up a little thinking about what the hook-in-eye looked like.

Glad the kitty is healing and the vet bill wasn't too bad, all things considered!

t2ed - I believe that cats were also the enemy because they are tied to man, no? Thanks for the link.

Yvette - thank God for men because that cat would have had to have a hook in his eye until we got to the vet - I'm not pulling anything out of any cat's eye - though strangely, I could probably have done it for either one of the boys.

Cele - I know. Every time I've told someone about TH taking the hook out I involuntarily shudder.

Ewwwww.

LOL! Ninja Squirrels. LOL! Ninja though they may be, I still see many Squirrel remains along the side of the road, so they're not perfect. We still have a chance to take them.

Steve - make it so. The squirrels have us in their sights. It's up to us to band together to fend off their evil plans.
