IT WAS HORRIFYING!
Something really strange happened today. I started making little throat-clearing noises every few seconds, mama said as if I had a frog in my throat but I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how a FROG could get into my tiny windpipe!
Still, THEY were alarmed ALOT and mama gave me malt paste to help whatever it was go down easily but the funny thing is, I was hungry and ate very well, and mama gave me a drink when she and papa had theirs and I drank perfectly well, so we were puzzled. They called the Croix Bleu, which is the kitty hospital near here and they couldn’t say anything except that I should be brought in soon or in the morning, but by then I looked so normal and was purring like crazy and munching kibble happily, and now I’m sacked out on the couch.
HERE’S THE MYSTERY: Mama and papa got up from a short nap and found a WEIRD long, skin-colored THING that looked like a worm but was not a worm (we think) and upon closer look, it had two little dots at the front of its whatever and what looked like a hole for a MOUTH.
WHAT IS THIS THING AND HOW DID IT GET INTO OUR HOUSE? The door to the kitchen was open for me about 5 inches with a doorstop to make sure nothing else got in, and I can’t jump high enough to land on the kitchen counter, but this THING was there, stretched out and dead so where did it come from??? I would NEVER mess with anything that looks like THIS!
Here it is–do you know what this is? DISGUSTING!
HORREUR!!! Do you see eyes and mouth? WHAT IS THIS, PLEASE? And why would I act funny after finding this at just about the time I started having that faux frog in my throat? A mystery, that’s for sure. Any ID would be welcome!
I’m handling it in the usual way…
Yikes! What is that thing??? We hope you’re okay, Loulou.
Well, it had zilch to do with me, thank cod (your phrase).
Gosh LouLou, that IS scary ! It may have nothing to do with your coughing spell (I sure hope not !) but it doesn’t look like something you want hanging around!
NO ONE can identify this creature. We are taking it to the vet to see if she knows what it is. I think we need a zoologist, whatever that is.
Loulou, did you eat its twin? Or could it have bitten you? Could it be a space alien? Mama suggests maybe (well, refrigerate or freeze so it doesn’t degrade) and take it (with you!!) to the vet? Or call a pest control service to maybe identify – and get rid of any members of its family. This is a scary thing!!! Keep me posted!!
It is going to the vet on Sat morn along with me! We’ll id this weird thing one way or another.
No, I did NOT eat anything like that creature! And I stopped clearing my throat, so maybe a piece of grass got caught in there (with the frog, haha).
