Whole family down with lurgy (not ‘flu or Covid), feeling sorry for ourselves, but cheered by The Enormous Floof
Take care everyone 🤧😷💉

#HappyCaturday now Xander is pain free
Xander Cat was not himself this week - heavy duty meds for a bad back
So no zoomies & more dozing in boxes
Glad he’s off the meds & back to normal today but we could do without nearly braining himself with pent up zoomies

For Xander Cat, a cat’s cleaning is never done
Meanwhile taking no responsibility for the state of the throw - was bigger cat who done it & ran away - ‘onest guv

Measles in airports & children’s emergency dept. Highly infectious & hugely damaging virus.
Also planes dropping out of skies. Will we be advised not to travel there as there also seem to be visa problems for tourists.
The US signified modernity, now seems to bravely march backwards to the 1950s.
