So Buddy, the cat, waddled onto the vet’s scale weighing in at 13lb.5oz. I cringed when the assistant laughed and tucked his tail on the scale – a few more ounces we didn’t need! The last visit, we were warned “I don’t want to see him coming in here at 12lbs.”

Wish you could understand, Doctor, that I have 2 problems – a begging cat who has no conscience, then his master who cannot remember he has just fed the cat. By the time my Man is about to put the food away, a very doleful, hungry looking beggar is gazing up with large, golden eyes.

“Be patient, Buddy, food’s coming right up.” Amen to that for the second time. (I hope he says grace because he should be very grateful for his luck – unless I’m on the scene to ruin all the fun.)
