Ohh goodness. Our cat forest got himself injured somehow. We think he got an abscess because of the shape of the injury, but it's HUGE!

This all happened a few days ago, and now forest is getting closer to being all healed up and I have pictures, so I figured I'd share our ridiculous kitty injury adventure.

Here is what we saw on his leg the other day:



Yikes! He was just acting like normal of course. That's a cat for ya.. The vet actually had trouble listening for his heartbeat because he wouldn't stop purring

He had to get stitches and these nasty tubes to allow fluid to drain.. Gross!





And of course the terrible cone. But he keeps trying to bite at the stitches even through the cone. He's REALLY good at getting the cone off too, so we'll have to watch him and make sure he doesn't get it off and rip up the stitches.

He's already gotten the tubes out so now he's just got the stitches left which should be removed monday.

I told you I'd get pictures of forest, I didn't realize they would be like this!



Here's one of him just being adorable and snuggly while he was still loopy from all the pain meds! Poor little kitty!



I just thought I would share the craziness going on in our lives. The crazy thing was dealing with vets! The first one we called said stitches alone would start at 800, not counting the anesthesia or pain meds and the time it takes. The next vet(our regular vet) said 300. The only reason the first was 800 was it's the only 24 hour vet in our area.. It's crazy!
