Monday, Sept. 14th

I simply do not understand humans sometimes. They will run and hide when the rain is falling down from the sky, but every morning they go into a special room and stand in the rain on purpose, without any clothes on. Most mornings mother has to drag me out of bed first thing to go outside, but on mornings that we don't go to the clinic she gets all upset when I try to wake her up. The humans just don't make sense.
A cat came in to the clinic today, that told the same story. It seems that this cat was "blind as a bat", or so his owner said. Now, I've never met a bat, but they must bump into walls and stuff because that's what this cat was doing. The funny thing was that this cat thought that the blindness thing was the least of his problems. He'd been trying to tell his owner that he wasn't feeling well for the past month. He told me that he'd been hiding, and letting his coat go without grooming it to give his owner some hints. I have to say that cats don't make a lot of sense either. When my belly is upset, I have no problem going right up to my mother and bringing up my entire breakfast at her feet. That way she knows I'm sick, and she has to rub my belly and check me all over.
But this cat, just went away quietly while the silent sickness took over. I could smell it inside his belly. Mother quickly knew it too, and told the cat's dad that it wouldn't be long.
So in the end, the humans didn't do anything; no pinches, no tubes and wires. There was a lot of soft talking, the kind I have a hard time overhearing, and some water from the cat person's eyes. The final result was that the cat got to go back home. I wonder if I brought up my dinner on mother's lap if I would get to go home too. I may have to try it.
