In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Bat Cat III has lost interest in his cat food.  When a cat stops eating, it's time to call a cat emergency.  The first suspect would be the flu, but his energy seems OK, and his nose isn't stuffed up.  I don't have one of those thermometers that can go up his butt, but I really don't think he has a fever.  I had some fever reducers, and he's had 2 doses, and he still behaves the same way.  The next suspect is cancer, like leukemia, but how do I test for that?  As I can recall, he had been losing interest in his cat food since before I recently took him to the vet for an anti fungal shot.

Now Bat Cat III is an excellent hunter.  He's a great mouser, and he has acquired a taste for birds.  I'm not a cat, but I'm sure freshly killed game would taste better than cat food.  Plus Bob Cat has been claiming all cat food in the territory as his, to be distributed to his "bitches" as he sees fit.  I caught him playing "bitch" with Bat Cat III the other day.  You know what I mean: "If you want some of my food, then you are my bitch."  So I'm guessing that Bat Cat III is going independent of cat food.  What supports this hypothesis is that Bat Cat I hangs around the homestead every day, and he doesn't accept a pellet of cat food from me.  I pointed him out to my Dad just now, and my Dad said, "He's come here to visit you."  I replied, "No Dad, he's here all the time.  And I don't give him any food at all.  He's completely independent."  The smorgasbord provided by Allah here in the kampung is very generous: birds, frogs, fish, mice, snakes...  It's nice to rely only on Allah.  Do you think I should take Bat Cat III to the vet?

Well, I hope you are cheering up and feeling OK.  I want you to be happy, and happy with me.  I love you, and I need you.
