Adding Insult to Injury

It’s been a long Friday for our kitty Spaz. Last night he came in after midnight all scraped up, and I presumed he had been in a cat fight. But today it was clear he suffered more than just scrapes, as he spent the whole day on the floor, unable to stand up.

At the vet this afternoon they confirmed that the fight Spaz had lost was more likely versus a car, and X-rays revealed a broken pelvis to go along with the ‘road rash’ scrapes. Fortunately the location of the break called for a restful self-recovery, rather than surgery. Two months lying in a box, previous history tells me Spaz will handle this well.

Since Spaz was already sedated for his X-rays, the Vet asked if I wanted to go ahead and take the opportunity to neuter him. “Go for it”, I instructed, “He’s having a bad day already.”

You’ve got eight lives left cat, but no more balls.
