It's not just human males that are wimps. When Frankie the big, brave tom cat gets hurt (usually beaten up by his sister) he cries like a baby and comes running to me for a cuddle.
I am sure that you will manage to drag yourself out of your death bed to look after Mrs Nessie - moaning and groaning every couple of seconds.
I am off back to bed - I had too get up to cancel a appointment at the vet as the cat was feeling better. He is going next week whether he wants to or not.
