Day 5 - Tuesday 18 September - There's no getting out!

I felt really good this morning. I could stand on my leg, could walk quite well, in fact. In fact, I decided it was time I left my safe haven and ventured into the real world again! I tentatively placed my two front legs outside of the bench and was about to venture forward by moving my hind legs when I felt a palm on my face, stopping me and preventing me from going outside. ~denieeeed~. I wasn’t that upset though, and just calmly went to lie down on my blanket. After some time, my mummy opened the door to cuddle with me and give me my food and medication.

Today I saw my stepbrother Sirius again. I really missed him, and when he entered through the bedroom door, I laid down on my blanket and started purring. I even stretched my front paw out so he could touch it, but he just sniffed and jumped onto my bench! My mother was unsure whether she should let him near me or not, since I still smell a bit funny after spending a few days in the hospital. Eventually she decided to trust my brother and she opened the door of the bench. I was so happy and purred with pleasure again! However, Sirius just sniffed me a bit, and then made a beeline to my food tower in order to get some catfood out of it! I guess this really proves that the love of a man goes through his stomach!

Day 4 - Monday 17 September - Tricky cat tower!

Today was my first real day at home and we were all very excited! My mummy had placed the bench and her desk with her laptop on it in her bedroom, so she could take care of me 24/7. Fortunately she can work from home, and now when she sits behind her laptop working, she only has to look to her left to see what I’m doing. She had found her old pink university laptop (the battery won’t charge – but it can still be used with the power cable) and had put that one on the ground so I could watch catTV during the day and I wouldn’t get too bored while she was working. She had furthermore bought me a tower for my cat food so I would get even less bored in my bench. I really liked that idea, and the smells coming off it were delicious, so I immediately tried getting the food out. However, after a few minutes I gave up. It was just too difficult. My mummy tried teaching my how to remove the cat food by moving the kibbles around with her finger and pushing them through the holes. I

Day 1 - Friday 14 September 2018 - The Car accident

On this horrible day, I was hit by a car. The awful driver didn’t stop to check whether I was okay and I had to make the long way home by myself. I couldn’t use one of my legs, so when my mummy called me because she was looking for me, I dragged myself with my two front paws to the garden, where she found me in agony. My nails and paws were damaged, and she took me straight away to the veterinarian. There they made X-rays under sedation because I was in a lot of pain. When my mummy saw the x-ray she knew I was in trouble. She had hoped for a simple fracture, but instead, it was a comminuted fracture, where my left femur had splintered into more than two fragments (see image). The vet told her that at least the good news was that it was a closed fracture. She then said that there were two options. A) surgery with metals, pins and metal thread to repair the bone. B) amputation. My mummy immediately said that B was not an option. I’m a very active kitten! I love jumping

Day 7 - Thursday 20 September - Metallic scrunchies!

Today was a bit chillier than yesterday, so I felt a bit tired and lethargic. Because I wasn’t as alert as usual my mummy checked up on me because she was worried. She felt my ears and they didn’t feel as warm as usual, so she made me a hot water bottle and wrapped me in a towel. That perked me right up! I snuggled in the blanket practically the entire day. Not the entire day though, since she got me a cat board for my kibblets! Doctor M recommended it to her. She said that her cats love it so much that she now uses it every day for all their dry food! My mother had high hopes for it since it was a board, and not a tower, which meant that I could see all the little kibblets lying there, just waiting for the grabbing… At least, that was the idea! I didn’t feel really hungry today, perhaps because of the cold weather, so I didn’t feel like fishing for kibblets and gave up after half a minute or so to watch CatTV. There was one thing my mummy gave me which
