Peek-a-boo!
Eh…who’s this? Why, it’s Cow the Mau! Cow has been extremely “cooperative” with our medicine-feeding endeavours in the last two days. Today has been extremely smooth-sailing.

Cow Mau, the pussy-cat…sometimes!
Thank you, everyone, for writing in to offer tips on how to give the COW a pill. We only lost one round on Day 4, but regained our “seat” of success in the afternoon that. The carrier trick still works. He’s such a pussy-cat when we put him into the carrier, and he takes his…

A reflection on Queenie’s case

Day 4, Round 1….goes to Cow….sobs
As of 5.10am until now, I have failed to catch Cow to put him into the carrier. He’s elusive and ferocious at the same time…. Here he is, so near and yet so far. There’s no way I could catch him this morning. I tried, and he went totally ballistic, claws and jaws. Looks…
