Day at the vet

William and I finally got Lyra to the vet today for her annual vaccination booster.  The last time we tried to take her we couldn’t get her in the carrying case.  This time we kind of bundled her in, which she wasn’t very happy about but it is for her own good.  As well as cat flu she is vaccinated against feline leukemia.  The RSPCA recommended we do this  as sadly there are cats in the area who have this.

Thankfully, the vet was very gentle and Lyra didn’t feel a thing.  I nearly kissed the vet with relief!  As an added bonus he even managed to get Lyra to swallow a worm tablet.  So, she’s all set for the coming year although the vet recommended that maybe she lose about a pound in weight but overall he thought she looked great with a lovely shiny coat.

Lyra is now having a snooze on the beanbag.  When she wakes up she will be getting some lean cooked turkey. One of her favourites.  Well, she deserves a little treat for being such a brave girl today.

The Amazing Lyra

Lyra and I have been working on a new trick.  It consists of me throwing her favourite toy,  a curled up pipe-cleaner,  over the bean bag and she is meant to jump over the bag to retrieve it.  We’re still working on her actually jumping completely over the bean bag.  At the moment she either runs round it or jumps up and lands splat on top of the bag. It is currently Lyra’s favourite game  and she could play it non-stop, although I do sometimes wonder whether she is taking the game seriously!

Anyway, here she is in action, “THE AMAZING LYRA!”

there’s nothing lyra likes better than a good old fashioned cardboard box.

more crunch tunnel fun…

I picked up this little crunch tunnel from Ikea the other day. It has a neat little opening in the middle of the tunnel so that we can dangle things in for lyra to catch hold of…

If there is one thing lyra likes more than anything it has to be a box! We recently took delivery of a new vacuum cleaner and while lyra wasn’t so keen on the cleaner (and is currently in hiding at the sight of it) she will no doubt, once the cleaner is safely put away, love the selection of boxes it came in…

hoping lyra will come out of hiding soon to explore her new boxes
