Je crie, donc je suis

A little while ago, I posted to say that I wouldn’t want more than one cat because I didn’t want the little sods ganging up on me. This remains true. However, another reason why a multi-cat situation wouldn’t suit me is because, if it’s not one needing veterinary treatment, it’s the other. You’ve seen what a complete farce it is with just one cat; can you imagine two or more?

I am happy to report that Rodan is now sans Cône, having fully healed. Thank you to everyone who sent him good wishes. However, now it’s Mothra’s turn, because the poor little sod has hurt her tail. 

She was unusually subdued last week, refusing food, and hissing when picked up. When my sister took her to the vet, she discovered that Mothra had a cut at the base of her tail, and a couple of separated vertebrae. The vet’s theory is that a cat fight caused this (although my sister hopes that it wasn’t with Rodan). 

Just arrived at the Gates of Hell.

Mothra is currently on antibiotics and two types of painkiller, but she’s eating again. The following few days will tell us what needs to happen next.

Get well soon, Mothy.
The camera seems to have caught Rodan just as he was shapeshifting.

    Aww poor kitty! Yes but at least they timed their issues so they didn’t both have to go in at the same time!

    Sending Mothra some healing vibes. The photo of Rodan transmogrozing makes you wonder about her injury.

      They’ve had fights before but no bites, and nothing that would create such an injury. Everyone suspects a scrappy neighbourhood stray (they have plenty in their area).

    When a cat is hissing when picked up, it means it suffers a lot. Poor Mothy, let’s hope she recovers quickly.

      Yes, that’s how they knew something was up. Mothra isn’t usually a hisser.

      Yeah, she’s not in the best of moods. And she’s already found a way of licking her wound despite Le Cône …

    We have been lucky lately. Our cats haven’t been to the vet since Chris died almost a year and a half ago.
