My Big London Adventure

Oh I have been very naughty today! I decided to go and explore the town I live in - LONDON! As soon as Meomwie went to get the Vet Tokens and Castle went to sleep I sneaked out for a quick whirl around on the Big Wheel London Eye! I can see it from my kitchen window and realised I had to have a go on it - mainly because it really is the ULTIMATE pigeon-spotting perch in London! Look, see what I mean?:



It was a bit nerve-wracking getting to the tube station - then I realised I didn't have any Salmon Tokens with me to buy my travel ticket - which for some strange reason is called an OYSTER!!! I don't like Oysters at all - eating one of those things is like having a bad cat flu. Here is me looking confused at the Oyster dispenser:



I realised I was too short to get an Oyster so I snuck on to the tube train by slinking along the ground so no-one could see me. I went on a metal staircase that moved too. That was very scary and I was very frightened that I might get my fur caught up in the moving bits! I am bald enough on the tummy as it is, I don't need to lose any more fur! When the tube train came rushing out of the big hole all my fur went on end and I did a little involuntary sideways ballet step or two before calming down again. The platform was nice and quiet cos all the computers had already gone to work so rush hour was finished so I had time to pose for this picture, don't I look brave...yet pretty?:



I got off the tube at a funny place called Waterloo...hmmm...my loo is made of litter and newspaper so I find the concept of a water loo very strange - for a start I would get my paws wet!!! Anyways, the only water I could see was the big river and then I saw the Big Wheel London Eye. And then I saw all the pigoens perched on the spokes of the wheel...I did not hesitate further and slinked my way on to the wheel and hid under the bench in one of the viewing pods. I couldn't see much but then a lovely man in wheel chair scooped me up and perched me on his lap so I could get a better view. I think he was quite taken with me - see how he gazes at me? I usually hate sitting on laps but I was so mesmerised by the pigeons I stayed put for a while...here is a picture of me on the wheelchair man's lap:



I the suddenly remembered that I had a visit to the Vet Place scheduled so I dashed home and got back in time for a late lunch and a nap before Castle missed me. Meowmie came home and took me to the Vet in my Limousine, I had a new Strange Man In The Front today, he did not know the way so Meowmie had to direct him. Caroline Vet had a good feel around my tum and bits and bobs and said everything felt good. She also gave Meowmie some NEW medicine for me, it is called Antepsin - it is to help my tummy be less sensitive and will hopefully prevent me from being sick so often (I puked agauin today just after breakfast) - kind of like Zantac but more agreeable apparently. Still tasted foul to me though! Caroline Vet said that if the puking continues then I may have to have a scan to try and see what is going on...this will mean another shaved tummy!!! Just when it was getting all soft and downy again! *sigh*

I enjoyed today and may go for a wander more often...and I may take Castle with me too (cos I got a bit scared at times).
