On-Line Feline Surgery.......Ambrose Please Forgive Me.....

Ok................ I have this cat, actually I have 2, well, sort of 3, but one is like a part-time cat and lives somewhere else part of the year and tends to live with us in the winter..... anyways thats off track.......

I swore to meself about 20 years ago, that I would never love another animal after me mother had me dog put down to spite me, it was a dog that I had had when I was 16 and it became me best companion, I so loved that little dog, it was like me little bit love in a home that didnt have much...... its a long story, and I wont bore you with it on here, just suffice to say, that me little healthy dog was put down in a mean and spiteful act to try and punish me...... anyways, after the upset of that I said, I would never get attached to a little animal again....... cold hearted git I am...... but ya know me...... well it didnt last.... look at me love for Janet LOL and Eric to name a few.....

So one of me cats is called Ambrose...... Ive had Ambrose for 12 1/2 years...... I love this cat, I love this cat so much, that I would run into a burning building to save her......

She is a tail-less, skankie, scabby cat...... we are very well suited...... I love her and she LOVES me with a passion...... I can hardly go anywhere in me house or garden without her being at me feet.....and now with her and Janet Im surprised I aint fallen arse over tit tripping over the pair of them lol

So........ this morning when I walked down me stairs at 6.30 to bung the kettle on, imagine how me heart beat and the dread in me soul when I saw this.......

DSCF2204

I thought she was dead.....

Jebus me heart almost stopped, I had this huge lump in me throat...... it stopped me dead in me tracks...... oh no, oh no, please, please, not Ambrose....... so I slowly walked up to the computer table to where she was hanging over the edge, sort of dangling and went to touch her thinking she would be all stiff and riggered into that bent shape, when I must of startled her, cos she shot about 3 foot in the air in fright LOL......... oh bloody hell she had just been sleeping lol........

When I thought she was dead, it bought back a memory of a few years ago....... ciara might be able to remember it LOL........... ya see....... I use to chat in this place that I call the 'Gloomies' whats where I became friends with that slag ciara..... a mix of people use to chat in there, many many disturbed people lol, but a handful of real lovely maties..........this was before I was shown the world of blobs and blobbers....

Well, one evening I was sort of chatting to a few maties in there, when me cat Ambrose wandered in from the garden and jumped up onto the computer table........ usually when Im on the computer she can be found here......

DSCF2267

DSCF1771

This is where Ambrose sits when Im on the computer...... she needs to be near me lol

So....... me cat jumps up onto this computer table and I notice that her head on one side is about twice the size it should be...... her face on one side was all swollen and her eye was amost swollen shut.......

Well, one of the maties that I use to chat with in the 'Gloomies' was some sort of Pig Vet Doctor Person...... quite a clever blokie in his field, and he had been me matie for a while, so I mentions that me cat's head and face was sort of BIG ..... so he tells me grab her and look at the face proper...... which I do, and I tell him that the whole side of her face is hard but twice the size and there was 2 little puncture marks on the swollen bit.......... so he reckons that me little skinny skankie tail-less scabby cat Ambrose had probably got bitten by another animal and had some absess on its cheek...... and he said, oh Mel thats easy to deal with......... so I says..... what, me deal with........ so this is what happened......

He told me to get a towel, a sharp pointie thing, and something to disinfect the wound, and he would talk me through on-line in this chat room, what to do LOL...... so I gather the tools of the trade except the only sharp instrument I could find was me bread knife and the only sterilizing thing I could think of was a bottle of bleach and a tiny bottle of gin....... I was not sure what he meant by something to disinfect the wound, but thought bleach and gin sounded about right, cos I knew bleach well cleans our loos and gin Ive seen them pour on a wound on a film on the telly...... :).......

So I grabs the cat in a towel like me chatroom matie is telling me via me computer screen....... he then told me to make a tiny incision in the swelling and to gently squeeze and the poison (hence the swelling) would squeeze out, he warned me that it would stink, and that when I had popped the absess and squeezed the swelling, to then apply the stuff to sterilize the wound....... he didnt ask me what I was gonna use, I presume he thought I knew what I was doing lol.....

Well........ you aint seen nuffin like it....... I grabs Ambrose, gently digs the bread knife into the swelling, squeezes it gently (see was NOT happy with this and starts to struggle) all the time gagging cos the smell from the oozing pus...... she is still struggling a little, but I did have her wrapped in a towel....... so then I apply the bleach and the gin mixture to the open cut.......... BIG BIG BIG BLOODY MISTAKE..........

Now, whether it was that she would of preferred a nice brandy or a lovely malt whiskey or that she just didnt like the bleach gin mixture on an open wound, I aint sure........ but she meowwwwwwwed soooooo loud that I let me grip of the towel loose and she begain really struggling and clawing..... so I grabbed her collar and she went mental....... she forgot that it was me, me that loved her, me that was only trying to help...... and she clawed and fought and scratched and hissed and bit and scratched...... all the time, I still have hold of her, scared shitless now to let go LOL..... well I eventually let go cos I thought she was gonna claw me face as well as me arm........ she shot out the catflat as such a speed that the 2 sec magnetic lock delay didnt have time to work and she took the door with her LOL........

When I looked at the mess before me, there was blood everywhere..... but not from Ambrose it was coming from me LOL....... she had clawed me arm and wrist and the blood was spurting from a cut on me wrist ....... gawds sake....had to apply direct pressure for yonks to stop the flow lol...... good job I know what to do in an accident emergency.... all that medic training comes in handy sometimes......

Well me matie on the screen was saying (well he was typing)......... talk to me Mel, whats happening, have you done it.... LOL....... so I thought I had better give him a rundown...... and all he could do was laff and take the piss........ GIN AND BLEACH you used gin and bleach, are you MENTAL lol......... so I logged off and went to find me cat....... she eventually came back in after about an hour........ by then I had stopped me wrist bleeding and I rang the AniMed Vets which is open all hours........ it was now late sunday evening and the vet told me to take the cat over to them which is about 14 miles away.......... Jebus, sunday evening out of hours, this was gonna cost me, BUT...... I love me cat and it didnt matter......

So we get to the vets and I relay what happened........ first of all he was a little cross with me, and then he laffed and laffed and laffed....... he actually said I had done quite a good job with me 'online feline surgery' but the best thing I could now do was to get meself down the hospital cos he thought I needed stitches in me wrist LOL....... so I asked him if he could do it to save me a trip, with which he almost creased up with laughter........ but the funny thing is, I was being serious lol......

So 'on-line feline surgery' cost me £150 ($300) for the vets bills for the out of hour appointment and the anti-biotics for Ambrose me cat........ and also cost me a 2 hour wait down the hospital and 5 stictches in me wrist...........

So after the frantic evening, I eventually got back home with me cat and me wrist stitched and I drank the rest of the gin LOL......

But ya know what........ Ambrose forgave me, cos she knows I love her, and I was only trying to help.......

She has no tail cos me twat neighbour caught her tail in his garage door and the vet had to cut it off to save her life....this was about 8 years ago.. and she has real bad skin cos she has Eczema.......she never wanders out of the garden and she loves people and she loves me especially......

DSCF1788

She loves boxes...... remember that photo of her when she claimed the box with shredded paper that dear Starr had sent Cowie in......

march 05 019

She has to be next to me when Im in the garden, even if it means sitting in a flowerpot lol...

DSCF3142

I know this is a little dark, but Ambrose and Janet me chicken have become firm friends...... and usually where one can be found you will find the other......

Did I ever tell you, THIS IS ONE CRAZY BLOODY HOUSE......

Soooooooo......... if ya have any pets that need sussing and sorting, I have bleach and gin :)...... and a little scar on me wrist to prove me mentalness that Sunday night a couple of years ago LOL

No more 'On-Line Feline Surgery' for me....... EVER......

Way way to much boring twaddle for a summer solstice evening.......

OMG - This is absolutely the funniest thing I've ever read. I've been lurking on your site for months, and have read some extraordinary stories from you, but this one is over the top. Possibly because I'm also a cat caregiver. Or possibly because I recall when my very first cat got into something particularly vile, and a formerly good friend said, "No problem, just take the cat into the shower with you, so he won't be afraid." No stitches were required, but it was close. Now you can explain to JBelle why it is that one of her friends/employees is weeping from laughter, and why one of the office chairs will probably have to be cleaned. Bravo on a truly magnificent post.

Bleach and gin ... what a bloody waste of good alcohol PMSL

This brightened up an otherwise god awful day :o)

I am imagining a scene from a horror movie ... bread knife raised above your head ... shadow in the background ... poor moggy wrapped in a towel cowering with fear .... cue the music ... EEEKK EEEKK EEEKK EEEKK

LMFAO ... loved the post :o)

Bugwit said...

Bleach? Are you crazy? And you've had medical training? When did they ever teach you to put bleach on a cut? ;-)

And poor Ambrose was doing so well (especially for a cat), patiently getting her face fileted and milked by you.

I think I might bite your wrist, too, if you threw bleach in my cut!

I swear, Mel, I'm going to visit you sometime, and you will not need to do anything to entertain me. Just let me sit in the corner and watch your daily doings.

OrdinaryShark said...

So Marmy - let me get this straight; the first thing you do upon see your beloved skanky scabby tailless beastie dead, or so you believe, on your table is...to take her picture? Always thinking about us readers, ain't ya. See, that's why you get so many readers, you've goot pictures. I've got to get more pictures.
Glad Abbrose is alright. Another fabulous "tail" for the book.

Ol' Lady said...

Mom not Mum (Sandy) said...

LMAO That's what I was thinking. Hmm I think my cat is dead - hand me the camera.

Well I'M glad I don't have to do any cat surgery. We have only dogs. Most of the time we have only one of those.

Jen said...

I always look forward to your posts. You really know how to tell a story. I love it. And I'm glad all turned out well.

Anonymous said...

Oh my God. ROTFL.....

As another who has had to perform the same "surgery" on my beloved feline soul mate and confidant, Nicholas, several times, I can tell you that I feel your pain. Literally! LOL! (But Hydrogen peroxide works much better than bleach and is less painful -hee hee).

My Nik is an adopted tabby street cat. He thinks he's a bad ass but he's really the biggest mama's boy you have ever seen. But he has had a few fights in his day.

The worst was when he came home with an abscess the size of (I kid you not) a baseball on his chest. We went to the vet for that one and he had to have surgery. They put a drainage tube in that I had to (bllleeeechhh) irrigate twice a day.

The problem was that they wanted this cat to wear a lampshade so he wouldn't tear at the stitches.

Riiiiiiiggghhtt..... and I'm John Travolta.

He probably would have killed himself trying to get it off. So I improvised. I cut the leg of a pair of old sweatpants off at the knee, cut out arm holes, and there he was - KITTY IN A TURTENECK MUSCLE SHIRT!!! OMG, was it funny. But it was brilliant because it kept him from doing further damage to himself. He wore it for 2 weeks.:)

Then, there was the time he attached himself to my head in a fit of terror... but we won't go there. Suffice it to say I was torn between saving my own head and hurting him...

Yep, I definitely understand the love for the pudder kitters. :)

JBelle said...

Productivity at my office has gone to crap.

OrdinaryShark said...

Alright you lot, clear out and make sure you put those glasses in the sink. Where is that cat? OMG is she...oh no...oh, wheew she's just doing a head stand. Not bad for no tail. Alright I gotta go and saw some logs. I'll leave the night light on.

Insane, as you've long feared. I believe I now have enough assessment information to confirm a diagnosis (or should that be "diagnoses", heh).

Funny as hell, you nutjob, but to hear it "live" was even better.

Just checking in again and seriously this place is great for laughs. All I had to do was scroll down a bit - see that cat on the edge of the table and that was that. lmao Good thing nobody is here or they would be questioning my sanity - well I'm sure they do that anyway but.....

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

mel...that was NOT my dog...it was steve's. that dog had the cone around his neck as well when they did surgery on his arse tumor...he was so dumb he kept running into walls because of it.lol now do u really think i would own a dumb dog? i like my pets like i like ppl...SMART lmao and ok, ok, i didn't want to be glad when it snuffed it, but i was just a little : / lol right now he's in a storage unit in the garage. i'm keep asking what the hell he's gonna do w the ashes of the dog cuz i don't think they care too much since he's been sitting out there since we moved to the new house...and he was in the garage at the old house after i told steve that he could not stay in our closet anymore lol hope no one hates me after this lol i do have to say that i really love dogs...only pets i've ever had.

The Fool said...

Thanks M-Toasty. Your posting really made me laugh and reminisce. One of my first jobs was working in a vet clinic...and the stories I could tell.

Spaying and neutering are cinch too, Mel. If you ever have the hankering to do one on-line give me a call. I'll talk you through it.

Happy Solstice, matie.

Lynda said...

Poor Ambrose. At least he came back. He must forgive you.

My Brutus loves to sit on the monitor like that also. Often time, I have to move his tail, so you may be lucky Ambrose doesn't have one. :)

Jade said...

I'll suffice to say that's one gorgeous cat, and I feel your pain--let's just say my current feline love once came this close-- . (mmhmm, the size of that dot) to clawing my cornea and blinding me.

Catch said...

Oh Marmy....you are such a case! You have me laughing from the beginning to the end of your post! I think your cat is beautiful! Even if you did have to get stitches...lol

MarmiteToasty said...

~(((momNmum)))~ thats it, just use me, when ya need a laff LOL.... I did laff today at the picture of Ambrose dangling off the edge of the table....... and then I laffed cos I even took them thinking that she was dead LOL..... I think there is something wrong with me......xxxx

~(((((toadie))))~ oh Im glad you think my life is just one big laff....... normal I WANNA BE NORMAL lol.........xxxxxxx

~(((((ciara slapper)))))~ ya know what would make your Steve feel special and loved and needed more then what he is already? do ya? do ya? I reckon if you took the dust/ashes of his dog from the urn in the garage and mixed it in with some flour and baked him a lovely cake for when he gets in from work........ only dont tell him until he has eaten it and said how special he feels LOL LMFAO........ I DOUBLE DARE YOU :)..........xxxxx

~((((((((foolie))))))))~ oh please share some of your stories one of these days :) - I can be the only one with so many pets 'that I love/loved' stories about mishaps...... RIP Socrates LOL

You want me to neuter you on-line? LMFAO.....giggling..... going out into the back garden and getting a couple of old house bricks and a towel off the line ;)..... *cough* lol........

Happy Solitice to you to foolie - I didnt get in the local paper for dancing naked on the stones at stonehedge..... dam them shaved all over druids for dancing pubeless.....xxxxxx

~(((lynda)))~ Ambrose is actually a she...... over the years she has had the most beautiful of litters of kittens (well it would be kittens of course lol it would of been emus)...... fat cat that was in a picture in a previous post being one of them...... Ambrose is tiny tiny yet fatcat is huge..... and aint it funny why they sit or lay on top of the monitor..... she might not have no tail, but every so often she moves slightly when she is deep asleep and she rolls off and ya have to catch her before she falls on the keyboard LOL..... its quite an art :)....xxxxx

~((((((jade))))))~ welcome back matie :)..... yeah Ambrose is what we call a tortoise-shell smudged LOL..... I will be devastated when she eventually dies..... I might have to have her stuffed and mounted and placed next to cowie :)..... who by the way is out for a ride next week :)......xxxx

~((((((catch)))))~ I wear me little scar on the side of me wrist with pride LOL..... and is that 'case' as in 'nutcase' LOL my solicitor will be in touch about defimation of charactor or whatever that word is LOL.........xxxx

Go Figure said...

Long ago a book was published called 101 Uses For A Dead Cat. It was pretty much the A to Z on dead cats. Long story. Anyway, I don't recall a listing for using a "dead" cat for a photo opportunity. MT you have made it 102. I am surprised that you didn't try to pick Ambrose up and lay her on the road for a "road kill" candid. Cat--badger...pretty much the same.

That's Willow. We should clone them together. They'd make pretty kittens.

raymond pert said...

I'm gonna be serious for a sec.

I genuinely believe we learn a lot about forgiveness from our dogs and cats and chickens and reptiles....you are a very forgiving person....maybe your animals have helped you. I know my Snug has helped me be more forgiving and more relaxed about things...ok/serious button turned off

Your post made my sides ache!

MarmiteToasty said...

~(((((((((((Starr)))))))))))))~ As much as I love me cat, ya know what did happen, just for a sec, flashed through me head?........... I wonder what her skull would look like with next to cowie and the others LOL.......

I think Ive seen that book LOL.... its well funny.....xxxxxxxx

~((((jade)))~ your willow is beautiful..... my friend has a kid called willow..... Ambrose has had some of the most amazingly beautiful kittens in her time.... its all depended on which old tom cat shes bonked at the time......we had 13 kittens here one of the times, when both Ambrose and Pivot(one of her original kittens which we kept but dead now) had their kittens with same day..... they had them all together in the same box and just share care/feed them all..... it was the most beautiful example of getting on with each other :)...xxxxx

~((((((MrP))))))~ maybe, maybe, you are a very wise man, so you might well be right...except, I would use the words 'found peace with' and not 'forgiveness' - does that make sense oh wise one :)...... *visions of you holding your sides and bellylaffing* lol.......xxxxx

raymond pert said...

Another serious sec

Ah, yes, that's even better: found peace with...and look at/remember the peaceful faces of Ambrose and Janet and Eric and Brenda etc. all saying to us neurotic humans: Be at Peace...maybe I'm whacky but I find my Snuggy boy helps me be at peace..so do our Corgis (thank you Royal Family for Corgis)...I think we are very fortunate to have these Peace givers among us.

/serious sec over...I'll come down off my mountain top...time to clean my office some more LOL

Never would have thought a story about draining pus from a sore pussycat could be so funny. I'm no expert but I'd guess it is probably not the first time someone has used gin to clean an infected pussy. Not sure about bleach ... I suppose your cat now freaks out when you do laundry?

Ambrose and Janet are mates? Now that is just too much!!

Good morning, M-Toasty. Put the bricks down...I said I would "talk" you through it. You'll need to roust another guinea pig for the experiment. I'm already neutered (I cashed in the cereal box tops and proof of purchase seals).

Have a great Sunday.

"Please tune in next week, for another episode of "All Creatures Great and Small" .. "

ROFLMAO

Very funny, Mel. Now, I'm wondering how much gin it would've taken . ... and if you'd have had to use an eye dropper or something.. to get Ambrose drunk, so she wouldn't have noticed the bleach and bread knife?

~*~*~*~*

By the way.. gumby message.. and all is cool.. fret not, dearie.. just a lot of stress around here.. let's make an IM appointment, or a "phone meeting" and I'll tell all....

OK?

Beautiful Ambrose, Beautiful Janet. Love the picture of the two of them hanging out. Unbelievable!

Great post. I could never take a butter knife to my cat - how in the world did you poke a hole in the cat with it?

MarmiteToasty said...

~(((Pinehurst)))~ :) it wasnt a butter knife ya dinlo...... it was a 12 inch serated edged, pointie ended bread knife :)...... xxxx

Ya know...I've been giving this some serious thought since our talk yesterday and I think the presence of a midget might have prevented the need for feline surgery in the first place. Of course, and as usual, I could be wrong.

I am not, nor ever will be a vegetarian. I do have one rule; If you name it you can't eat it. Janet the chicken?

MarmiteToasty said...

~(((((Wendy)))~ I dont understand...do you mean I would be otherwise busy with me midget that I wouldnt of noticed Ambrose's swollen head? or do you think that I might of just grabbed the midget by his feet and swung him round, hitting Ambrose in the face, thus bursting her puss filled absess? please explain..... LOL - cant wait for this one :)...xxx

JBelle said...

(so freaking many people in here, I can't see a thing!)

Your Friend said...

OMG.. that's just sick, Mel! LOL

I've heard of "the shit hitting the fan" but now I have visions of some poor midget being swung around, and getting his head chopped off by the fan.. and then cat pus goes flying against the windows...

ewwwwwwww

Maybe I'm the sick one though.. thinking up that scenario? ROFL

Poor Ambrose! Does he suffer with PTSD after your crap James Herriot impersonation or is he over it?
I had a cat once that had a scrap, got an infected eye which then exploded and all the poison got into it's brain and it went mad. I also had a cat that used to suck its own nipples...very noisily. It was funny but made me feel a bit sick too. I gave it away. Bloody pervert!:o

Hey Marmy,
Saw your reply over at Back to Basic Living and had to read your link about your attempt at animal surgery.
Thought you'd enjoy this bit of humor, although you may have seen it already.
