Disjointed Digression

Queue has been scratching himself so that he makes scabs on his head and neck. So I took him to the vet. The vet thinks it might be an allergy so we decided to start simple and cheap. The vet suggested we change his food and water bowl from the plastic bowls he was eating out of. Also she told us to give him some over the counter allergy pills. I was even given a little device to shoot the pills down his throat.
We decided to go with an alternate method of getting the medicine into the manx. We crush up the pills and mix it into some wet cat food. Since we have to give him the medicine ever twelve hours, Queue has begun to anticipate his twice daily “treats”. He has began to hang out under the table about an hour before he thinks he should get his “treat”. And when his “treat” is being prepared he is constantly under foot in the kitchen and meowing. Zaida also goes into the kitchen anytime anyone heads into the kitchen.
I came home the other day and Candy told me about how Queue was hanging out under the table, and looking at her, looking at the kitchen. She said if he had a watch, he would have been glancing at it. Tonight, we were in the kitchen I began making Queue’s “treat”, Candy was making something for herself to eat, therefore Zaida was in the kitchen too. Now keep in mind that our kitchen is not very large. About the third time Candy almost tripped over one of the animals, in frustration she said “It’s like a furry obstacle course in here!”
