Home tails ...

This morning we picked up Mr. Earl Gray from the vets. As soon as we placed him in his temporary cage, Tabitha ran over to greet him and she continued to lie next to his cage for about 20 minutes ...

After she checked him out to make sure he was okay, we decided to let him into the bedroom where he relaxed cozyly on the bed. We will still have to keep him confined for a couple of days or so until his paws heal completely, but that doesn't mean that he is a prisoner in his own home. We will leave him out for a couple of hours at a time and then put him back in his cage. He is not allowed to use regular cat litter for the time being and must use shredded paper in his box. That being said, we must keep an eye on him for his own good.

It's so good to have him back home where he belongs. After spending three days at the vets office, I know he is thrilled to be home again! Have no fear; however, he is on some pretty great kitty cat pain meds. In fact, they are so good that they told us that cats usually forget that anything happened and sometimes try to use their paws before they can. Keeping him as calm and mobile as possible is the name of the game right now!
