Moth Hunting

Dave the cat has been like a bear with a sore head recently, well to be more accurate he is a cat with sore feet. His pododermatitis has got worse again and he has an open sore on one foot. I hoped I could get it to heal up again but it is proving stubborn and I think we will have to go back and see the vet. He can still walk on his foot but he grumbles and swears and lashes out at Oreo if he gets too close, poor old Dave, he's a lovely cat.

Oreo has a new hobby – moth hunting. For some reason we always get a lot of moths in the bathroom, they don't really bother me as long as they don't try to get in the bath with me. They may not be as colourful as butterflies, but they have beautiful markings and they are fascinating to watch. Oreo also seems to find them fascinating, he loiters in the bathroom and leaps around trying to catch them. This morning I caught him sitting in the sink, he had obviously decided that he needed to be higher up if he was going to catch a moth. He is not supposed to be in the bathroom, but it is difficult to get cross with him when he looks so cute.
