We got a vet appointment at 3:00 this afternoon; sadly I had homework to do so couldn’t go, but the vet did a great job and said Sacha was going to be okay.  The left part of Sacha’s forehead has been completely shaved and the wound is all clean now – and GROSS!  I’ve taken a couple of photos which I should publish tomorrow if I get a second.

So Sacha is doing great; we have some pills to give him daily, and the vet told us to rub some antibiotic ointment on the “hole” – yup, it looks like a hole.  (Poor Sacha, I hear him yowling now as he gets his treatment…)

As for the kittens, Pollux is doing great with the clicker-training; he now gives me high-fives and this is just too sweet!  Kashmir, though, has decided to learn everything until the step when he has to high-five, so I’ll have to proceed in smaller steps; right now, he can touch a stick with his nose on command, which enables me to teach him other simple tricks such as “sitting pretty” and “kiss me sweet“.  I hope that he will at least be able to learn this.  It is so cute to be sitting on the floor with two cats at my side, so eager to learn!  I never thought that cats could be trained.  I wonder if sheep could learn how to “sit” and “lie down” – I’m sure they’d be smart enough.  Only, nobody’s ever tried…

I should get a couple of sheep one day just to see.

Anyway, I will update you more tomorrow.  I am kind of tired right now!
