This is not quite what I had in mind....

for my birthday month....vet bills! Poor Morpheus had to go to vet yesterday to get a benign tumor removed from his leg and has quite the incision. After tearing off two of the hard plastic Elizabethan collars at the vet's office, my vet suggested that I use a soft vinyl one turned inside out. So instead of looking like a flashlight, this is what Morph looks like

As we say in the South, bless his heart! The other cats have stared at him from a distance with the fascination of the paparazzi watching a Britney Spears meltdown. I had to work at SBux and called S. about every hour to check up on him. When I got home, Morph followed me around the house meowing constantly. I'm sure it was NOT polite kitty conversation!

So apparently against his will, Morpheus is dressing up like Daffy Duck in "Duck Amuck" for Halloween

Morph says he is passing on entering my Birthday Giveaway and just wishes the other cats would quit making fun of him.
