Seamus is Sick by Leslie Monk
Part 4 
Siamese Head Butt
19 May 04
I have to inject Cat Seamus at a certain time of the day so there is some synchronicity between this and his eating and drinking. Thus we control his Diabetes.
During the current warm spell, Seamus is inclined to disappear up cat alleys and into unknown neighbours gardens in search of sunnier spots to lounge the morning away.
Accordingly, we adjust the cat flap master control so that he cannot get out when I have to give him his jab.
There are four settings on the master control. 1: Cat can get in and out, 2: Cat can't get in and out, 3: Cat can get in but Cat can't get out, and 4: Cat can get out but Cat can't get in.
Today at the appropriate time I went to the back door and found not one cat but two. Yes we had an intruder.
Brown Siamese saw me, panicked, head butted the cat flap. Exit strategy failure due to cat flap setting No 3.
Panicked some more and ran through the house like a greyhound. Realised there was only one exit option , Siamese intruder took the longest run up you could possibly imagine, threw himself kami kazi fashion head first at the unmovable fixed cat flap. He bounced off the door and if I were not there to grab him by the scruff, I'm sure he would have had another shot at it. Seamus sat calmly throughout, this spectacle moving only his head to follow the smoke trail of the Siamese Cat in flight first this way, then that way, then back again, then the impressive impact, and then the ignominy of being put outside by the scruff of the neck.
In due course, Seamus calmly walked over to his empty bowl, as if to accuse the Siamese of eating his breakfast.

Vet visit.
Now on two pills for lungs and heart. Lung pill is a diarrhoetic to get the fluid out of his lungs.
Consequently, a nasty surprise when attempting to get pee sample. If you need any more details, then you need help.
The Story of Seamus and other cats will be serialised on these pages, but if you cannot wait for the whole story you may read all about it here in one helping.
