I need to have a word with those Meezers! "Listen up, Guys! "Out of all the jobs you SAY you do in this house, there is one function that is mandatory. "You are to take care of our Bekkers. When she is sick, you STAY with her, and you provide nonstop purrs, kisses (if you are so inclined), headbutts, and general expressions of affection and love. If she hurts too much for you to sit or lie ON her, you snuggle up as close as you can get. "THAT IS YOUR JOB! That is why you were 'dopted into this home! "No fighting, no spitting, no hissing. NO BITING, either to Bekkers or each other. "Violations of this duty will result in the immediate withdrawal of all fish and fish products! You won’t get so much as a single scale! "This is a sacred duty you have. We can only entrust feline royalty such as yourselves. “Good luck, and remember:the threats are very real!” There! Keep us posted. I have a case of the cheapest, most disgusting generic cat food ready to ship overnight to your home. My threats are the stuff of legend. ~VOW ---

I’m sorry to hear about Pancho. Glad you are getting it taken care of, and that Lil’wrekker is doing such a good job as caretaker. Sometimes pissing off the patient is part of the job description. 😉 Hang in there, and try to focus on something to make you laugh. Here’s a suggestion: [BBC Radio Drama of Good Omens](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP5-HMtn4GE&list=PL7mMm5pGYWkDaxU5jWKzxD1rcpAv-Saoj) ---

Feel better soonest, Beck! I’m sorry Pancho is a poopy-head, but it sounds like it’s time to give him the boot. Gentle hugs from me, as well. ---
