silversolitaireThis was the first time that I recall that Sherlock actually requested medical aid from me. All the times before he always struggled as if someone was trying to kill him when we wanted to dress his wounds or something. But now he kept coming to me and meowed whineyly and I had no clue what he wanted from me! I just couldn't understand him! His meow was so strange and he kept sitting on my feet, something he usually never does. He was sitting there, meowing and looking at me. When I leaned down to pet him he started biting at my hand (not in a mean way, but definitely fighting me off). When I leaned up again he did the same thing all over. Until he lay down in front of me and showed me the wound at the side of his jaw. I looked at it and gentle removed the hair that stuck to it. All the time he never moved or struggled. I called Dad to look at it and he helped me clean the would. Then he applied some unguent. After that, Sher got up, meowed again and walked off. That was interesting o.o.
The funny bit was while Dad was getting the unguent Sher kept lying there and I petted him a bit. While I did, a black, spikey and fairly large caterpillar came walking by. I was startled for a moment, but then I just watched it walk by and hoped Sherlock wouldn't see it. Of course he had to stretch his neck and saw it. He immediately jumped to his feet and I held him back so he wouldn't attack it. By that time Dad returned and we continued our treatment. The caterpillar continued on its way. After Sher was seen to I walked after the caterpillar and tried to get it to walk on a leaf, so I could put it somewhere else. I didn't want it to keep walking here, since then somebody might have stepped on it or Sherlock might have returned. It was kinda difficult though, I must admit. I dropped it once, too >_<. At some point the caterpillar stopped and curled up to a ball. I think it's still curled up... I hope it's okay... *will check soon*
Sure enough, Sher came by several times while I was looking for a spot to deposit the caterpillar >_<. As if he guessed it. And he was uber-cuddly again. I saw down on the bench to see if the caterpiillar would uncurl again and he jumped down next to me and cuddled up. Sneaky bastard... *g*
