No, I haven't been on vacation or to some far-off country on sabbatical.

The reason for my lack of pondering is I've been dealing with some medical issues.

It seems that at age 16 (I know that's like a million in human years) my kidneys are slowly calling it quits.



To make up for their lack of ability, the human has been taking me to the vets for a "fluid" injection once a week.

I hate being stuffed in a carrier, forced to ride in a car and taken to a place that smells of dog.

Well, you know what they say about paybacks.

Each morning, and I mean the wee hours of the morning, I start waking up the human.

 I jump up on the bed and get right in her face and meow until she gets up and either gives me fresh food or water.

I repeat this annoying behavior every two hours.

As for my medical problem, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

But, the human is.
