The morning after

Good. All good.

Last night, he basically sat in the hall like a zombie for a long time. Then when I got in the bed to listen to my book for a while, he hopped up there. I could not stand that plastic collar so I dug out the one I made him.



I went to sleep and The Smalls curled up next to me and Biggie went who knows where. I woke up a couple of times to pee and he was nowhere I could find. I hoped he was resting comfortably.

About 5:30, I felt a cat on me that was NOT The Smalls. I opened my eyes and Biggie - sans any collar of any kind - was staring at my face. I pulled out the Amazon collar and put it on. So far so good.



He hasn't made a sound except purring. He's kind of staggering and stopping to stare out at nothing. Still pretty drugged up.



The stitches he had last time stayed hot and red for several days. This glue situation seems so much better. Not even hot to the touch. And they didn't shave nearly as much fur off.



I'm debating whether or not to leave when the house cleaner comes. I really hate being here when she's working and I have no where to go and I thought maybe Biggie would need looking after. But, I think he'll be fine and maybe I'll just make a quick grocery run. I don't know. It's early yet. I have time to decide.

Interesting that your house cleaner is still coming. I just saw a friend on Facebook wondering whether they should tell their house cleaner to come or stay away, and what they should do about paying them. (Don't remember where, geographically.)

I thought about it but thought maybe the risk was low. And she does also do the unit across the hall today, too.

But, now that you've made me rethink it... I just sent her a text telling her to stay home if she wanted and I'd pay her if she came or not.

Thanks for the prompt.

Owie!! Poor kid.
That spacy look in cats after surgery is very familiar. I assume he's accustomed to the cleaners noises so he'll probably be fine.

Thank God for a skilled vet & the healing powers of a loving catmom!

We cancelled our cleaners and are going to send them regular cheques until they can come again.

He's lookin' adorable, hope that he mends quickly so he can get back to watching over the neighborhood.

Those kitties are lucky to have you.
