Catch the cat and cakes

 This morning Tina made and appointment to take Pandora to the vets. She has been a bit under the weather and last night soiled Tina’s bed which is very much out of character, so obviously not feeling well. The appointment was for midday so I decided to decorate the cakes that are going to Peterborough. I had made enough decorations for this batch but will need to make more for the rest.

The loaf shaped ones are not going to Peterborough but I had iced them and had enough decorations. Yours does have decoration too Mike!
Then it was time to get Pandora into the pet carrier and it was as stressful as usual. We were in the dining room with the door shut and it took over ten minutes to get hold of her, under curtains, inside thr recliner chair, you name it and she found it! I had the carrier on my lap on the way to the vets and mournful mewing accompanied us. The vet thought she seemed pretty well but gave her an injection that should hopefully settle her stomach and bring her appetite back. We also get some calming medication in case we have to go back!
We went down the road for lunch when we got back and then I went to see Sher to see if she had remembered the cake box, she hadn’t, but we had a natter and cuppa.
Went to sort out the dining room and found that the recliner wasn’t working. Darren sorted that when he got in from work.
We are forgiven as Pandora has been on my lap for two hours!

  1. Pandora and vets is a combination that certainly doesn’t go together. I alway remember try to get my cat in a pet carrier. It was usually that sort of nightmare too. It isn’t to spread its legs so there was no way it would fit through the opening 😊 At least you know there’s not anything terribly wrong with her, and hopefully the injection will stop any more l “accidents” tonight.
    The cakes look lovely as usual. I’m certainly looking forward to mine. Not sure if I’ll last out until Christmas Eve like I usually try to do though.
    Cats have long memories, so don’t get too complacent with her on your lap, she’s probably just biding her time before she takes a chunk out of you 😊

  2. I am pleased with the cakes and it is good to have the travelling ones ready. I will t lest try to get the rest iced before o go away, providing I get the stray boxes back!
    Pandora decided not t use the litter tray while she was off colour, nd it’s too wet to go outside, so hopefully she will decide to use it again when she feels better! I am never complacent when she is n my lap, as she is prone to the odd bite!
