My Disciples,
I would like to make a formal complaint to the Guardians. I know I need to take My medications so that I can get better, and to be honest, one of the medicines tastes a little like chicken, so I don’t really mind that at all. The other one, however, tastes NOTHING like chicken. In fact, I think it might have been made for dogs instead of cats because it has a sweet, cherry-like smell to it. Fortunately, I can’t taste the sweetness since we cats lack the tastebud that detects that particular flavor. I can smell it though, and that’s bad enough! I don’t want that stuff anywhere near My mouth!
I would like to lodge a formal complaint about My nasty, cherry meds.
Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! Oh, and one other thing, I would also like to express My dissatisfaction that I have to walk around with a mostly naked belly. Yes, the people at The Bad Place shaved My belly fur so they could use that ultra-ma-sound thingy to look at My insides, and the fur is taking a long time to grow back. It’s not very dignified to have My kitty-nips showing all the time!
One of My kitty nipples is clearly visible. The shame! I hear I would receive a hefty fine for showing this on network television!
And another thing, I… wait… here comes one of the Guardians.
Oh… My… paws! That feels amazing!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Never mind, My Disciples. All is forgiven.

LOL, I love Otis!
Thanks Angie! 🙂
Glad to seeyou feeling better Otis!
Thanks Emily. I’m not sure if I’m feeling better yet… but at least I’m not feeling worse…
yep….one good ear scratch and we are all done too 🙂

According to my kitties, the only acceptable flavor is meat flavor. Any meat, so long as it is a meat.
I agree, Urbannight! 🙂
I think a nekkid belly is very handsome!!
Any chance your guardians can have your medicine compounded into something that tastes a little better? if it is a short term thing, it might no be worth it, but if it is a longer term medication it might be easier on everyone..
Thanks Connie. The Guardians had one of My meds compounded into a delicious chicken-like substance, but I’m not sure if they can do that with the other one. 😦
hmm, for a cat Otis surely has a short memory. The guardians are very fortunate.
Well, I didn’t always have such a short Memory, Ena. I was angry at one of the Guardians for more than two weeks after My second-ever trip to The Bad Place.
I understand. But the cats who have shared my home, have had a lot longer memory when it came to punishing me for what they didn’t like. I am happy for your guardians that you are so flexible and forgiving. Good for you.
Just think, Leader Otis, if they hadn’t shaved your belly you’d still be trying to get the ultrasound gel out of your fur. Gel filled fur? Yucky!
Purrs!

Yuck! That does sound bat, M and H! 😉
I know exactly what you mean, Otis! What is wrong with the medicine makers that give kitties things like bubblegum flavored meds? (Star had that one once) Seriously! Cats like chicken and ham and meat and nip! Try those flavors people! Sheesh
By the way, your tum is very cute!
Yes! I want medicine that tastes like chicken, ham, meat and nip! Actually, I want ANYTHING that tastes like that because it sounds delicious! Thanks for saying that My tummy is cute too, Andrea. 🙂
Just hold your nose when you take the cherry-flavored stuff Otis. That’s what I did with cherry-flavored Zythromax back in the day. Honestly, I think even a 3-year-old could tell that stuff was NOT made from real cherries!
I would hold My nose, Pezcita, but that’s hard when you don’t have thumbs! 🙂
Would be cool if cats could seal off their noses like camels, right?
I wish I could seal off Mine when the cherry meds are coming at Me, Pezcita!
Oh Otis…yukk indeed..we used to place/hide Merlin Mc Tavishes medicine in a paste that stunk of anchovies you may not have it there ..it was called Pecks paste and was for peoples..we used to also warm up fishy stuff until it was nice and fishy stinky and give him that to..as for your semi porno nippy show well..it’s not offensive at all..a little undignified but cute none the less 🙂
Anchovie paste sounds delightful, Fozziemum! Actually, the Guardians have tried to hide My meds in food before though. I have a pretty good nose for deception. 😉
No pulling the wool over your nose Otis 😉
We don’t like yukky medicines either, Otis. We hope you don’t have to take that stuff for much longer But as for that nekked belly…we think it’s kinda sexy. 😉
Gosh… thanks Island Cats. 😉
