Warning Bees 🐝 fight back

My advice is that if you’re like me and can’t see then you must make sure your humans teach you the difference between the noise of a bee and other flying insects.

My human didn’t try quite hard enough to teach me the difference although she does keep saying ‘Jenny, we don’t chase bees, bees are good’ I must admit though that I’m quite stubborn and once I’m on the scent of something all sense really goes out the window. Anyway I pounced when she wasn’t looking and ‘ouch’ something hurt my mouth, I washed it with my paw but I really hurt. Being the tough cat I am I carried on playing but something wasn’t right. Mummy took one look at me and knew something wasn’t right – my lip was swelling up.

I was whisked off to the vet where I saw a lovely lady who made sure there was no sting left in my mouth. Whilst it hurt to open my mouth and have her touch the sore part I have learned from my past history that people help me so it’s best to let them. Mummy was there with me and so for comfort I kept close to her, she stroked and reassured me, talking to me so I knew she was with me. I had two injections and then off back home we went. Daddy was waiting to give me a big cuddle when I got home and so all was well although I am sore and feeling a bit sorry for myself so I went off to my bed to rest.

The moral of this story is if you eat or chase a bee 🐝 be prepared for not only a sting from that but then two nasty stings in your haunches from the vet. 😿😾

A couple of days later and he swelling has gone down but I’ve still got a nasty bruise as a reminder.
