Radcliff, Allie, Luna & Ozzie suggested that I try to ask around to see whether there is anyone who is interested in adopting the Night Visitor. Actually, that was my initial thought. I planned to bring the Night Visitor to the vet for a check-up after a few weeks when he is used to being around me. If there is no major illness, I can then try to put him up for adoption.
On Sunday, I changed my mind. I was coming back from an early breakfast with my parents. The cat was waiting for me at my front door. When I opened my door, he tried to rush inside the house. I do not want him near the Spice Cats yet as he is not vaccinated and I am not sure whether he carry any diseases. So, on impulse, I used my right leg to block his entry. I must have startled him as he grabbed hold of my leg and started scratching and biting me!
The wounds, that Sunday afternoon. It looked pretty OK, so i sorta ignored if after I put some anti-septic.
But slowly, the wound started to hurt and my leg slowly started to get swollen. On Sunday night, my friend brought me to the clinic. The doctor cleaned my wound, gave me an injection and some medication.
This is how it looks on Monday. The foot was slightly swollen and it was even painful to walk.
There are also some scratches underneath my foot.
This is taken on Tuesday night, still a bit swollen, but not as painful.
By Wednesday, it was not painful to walk anymore, although the foot was still a bit swollen.
I am quite annoyed that my training at the gym is interrupted. The doctor said that I must keep the wound dry at all times to prevent infection. So, I had to put a plastic bag over my right foot when I shower. Gym is allowed as sweat will wet the wound.
This is a good reminder to myself. I should be more careful around stray cats. I am so used to being around the Spice Cats who will never hurt me on purpose that I was careless. I will be much more careful next time.

I wonder what the humans do on this thing.... it makes the funniest sound with the humans press something on top...

I expected Garlic or Sesame to come bouncing on the curtains, but this year, it was the gals that were taking advantage of the soft clean fluffy curtains.
Especially Ginger....
She absolutely loved the curtains.....
Took a nap with her face burried in the curtains....
Twisting and turning....
Then opened her eyes when she realized I am just above her, snapping photos...
Yawn....But who cares.....as long as I don't hang the curtains up, they are happy...

The visitor gulping down the Whiskers Seasfood canfood, which the Spice Cats refused to eat.

Pepper came to the door to check out the visitor. I am kinda surprised they didn't hiss at each other.
Even Ginger, the timid one, came to check out the visitor.
Visitor : Mmmm....I wonder if there is more food.....
