[Pets] catnipped! or I had a bad day (night shift edition)

ow ow ow don't touch that

that gonna leave a mark

waiting for the vet to open

I just hope he comes out OK

he's back, still coming out of deep sedation (has to stay and the airline travel cage until tomorrow (against advise we let him out briefly to change the pee soaked padding something the vet people say isn't a problem(with the collar he can't even lick himself clean, and being a really clean cat he hates), he is happier a quieter now but still wants out.
his butt is REALLY bald, and puffy (there was one deep puncture and one slash the vet thought may have caused by the car dragging him and needed cleaning) but the prognosis is he should be good as old in 2 weeks or so.

Poor Murry and your poor pocketbook.

Unfortunately we may need to go back to the vet today, somehow he managed to pull the drain out overnight (porous flexible rubbery tube like a drinking straw about 7 inches long)
but he's a little better a trying hard to clean what he can reach. My own feeling is it's not worth torturing him another surgery and anesthetic to replace the tube (which seem to have questionable value in most human surgeries other than faster swelling reduction, MAYBE) and just let him lick and clean as cats normally do, if the cleaned it thoroughly the 14 day antibiotic shot should take care of any the remaining germs, but we'll see what the say.

Keep us updated. The poor guy.

sunday update
cat vet left a message that the Certified Forensic Radiologist ( means he gets $90) sent back his report no additional fractures and the small piece is fine and will likely reabsorb and may be some future arthritis is possible (10 or 15 years from now means he survived fine
Also the wound is consistant with a canine bite (We were right!) not a car strike.

right after we heard that my wife looks out the kitchen window a see a large coyote marking territory and sniffing around out in the field, so she runs out at 8 am on a quiet sunday in her nightgown throwing rock and screaming "I'll kill you" (this is someone who doesn't like killing flies and other pests, as it disturbs the natural balance) I'm sure the new neighbors to the south think shes nuts, I know the coyote does.

squeaky is more mobile licked for a hour at a time (4 hours total cleaning) still tender but feeling a bit better.

What happened to the middle photo, only see 2 of them, middle one is blank, same goes for the first post.

I don't know, I see them all on several computers. you may have some download restrictions? or other limiting factor?
If you right click on the missing/middle picture what do the properties say? does right click/show picture do anything? or reloading the page? or reloading the last post only?
Is anybody else seeing not seeing what William is seeing? or know the answer?

They all should be .Jpeg's of 102-180 KB all taken with an Olympus xz-1 and edited from the fine jpg saves (it also saves RAW)

I'm using ie10 on win7 and I don't restrict file size.

Yes, black eye (well side of head) and a skull fracture kept her in the hospital for a few days, unfortunately my dad just had a shoulder replacement and she was the designated driver for the next month.
she is now cleared to drive so that's ok (this time anyway, it isn't her first trip to the cat scanner getting old is rough (she just hit 80)

Btw "Lincoln" the movie is not "to die for"
I blame John Wilkes Booth,
or maybe it was Mrs White in the drawing room with a lead pipe.
