Everyday with Francis is special since that fule young vet tried to convince
me to euthanise Francis... ohhh... back in 04... insisting Francis's kidneys
were shot and Francis had to be euthanised immediately... Alas, said vet was
not Australia's finest export :-(

Francis is currently "Daddy's Cat" and spends a lot of time with Vernon.
Currently Vernon is sitting opposite me, deep in thought on work, engrossed
in some research...

Francis is sprawled out alongside him, on Vernon's desk, a-top an open
client file. Francis periodically looks up at Vernon with adoring eyes,
meeps and then rolls over, baring his tum for a tickle. Vernon duly obliges
and Francis's purr rate and volume noticeably increase.

It truly is a lovely sight to see - a happy, healthy and very much alive
cat.

Cheers, helen s
