Wimpy is not known for his bravery, in fact it would be fair to say that he is not a brave cat at all as he lives most of his life in trepidation behind the washing machine. He only comes out for his food and cuddles when he feels it is absolutely safe to do so! The doors are all open downstairs as I'm writng this but he has only ventured as far as the kitchen hall door with the UT door open behind him if flight becomes necessary. So a visit to the vets is a journey that has to be master minded and well thought out for days in advance. One false move on our part and we don't see him for dust. Thursday morning saw us at the vets by 8am for his blood test after safely hook winking Wimpy into thinking his porridge was about to go 'ping' in the microwave! (Yes I know. He thinks he is human and porridge is his second breakfast of the day.)
10mins later we were handed back one highly traumatised cat, 75 pills (a months supply) and a bill for £101.48 Love dosen't come cheap!!
Anyway I thought I'd have ago at using those pesky promarkers again so I bought a few fairly plain digi stamps to practice with. This one is from Justinklined and reminded me of
'The Wimp' when I saw it.

Poor pussycat ... I'm glad he's there with you who will love him despite being a bit "Wimpy"!
You're obviously doing great with the promarkers and inspiration -- this card is great!
Morning Mrs A, what a great card - the eyes are just so real and the sentiment says it all :) I hadn't realised that Wimpey was quite so nervous though. Bet you it's quite an occasion if he comes out for a cuddle!
Yes indeed, it's Abi of Marcel fame - I suspect he's 'home alone' as she's growing up super fast :(
Hugs, Di xx

Love the card...so cute:) I think the eyes are brilliant.
Poor Wimpy. I have two wimpy cats when it comes to going to the vets. You'd think we were trying to kill them from the fuss they make. The noise they make on the way there and back is awful.
