If Gordius keeps this up, he’ll be on my ‘do not attempt’list along with Araucaria, Brummie and Bunthorne

I have great sympathy with the problem of getting cats to take tablets, and am thankful that my elderly tortoiseshell can have her medication sprinkled on her food. I do indeed wish you luck.

Thanks for enquiring. The cat is back with me now, but still not in the best of health. She’s got a heart disease and has to take two tablets a day to thin her blood and correct a heart murmur. As a rule, cats don’t like taking tablets – but Holly is one of the world’s worst. I’ve failed twice today to give her one and now she’s in hiding! Wish me luck…

Mum and I looked because we were curious about “Asinico”, but then got much more concerned about the state of her health. Update please.

Hope the cat is OK.

Also : having ASTILBE, PASTON, ASINICO and FRITILLARY in the same puzzle … who does he think he is ? Araucaria ??

I liked the clue for “odometer” as it does exactly as it says in the clue.

Smoenoe should produce an anthology of Gordius epithets for Bush: “primitive primate” and last week we had “political disaster”.
