Day 6 - Wednesday 19 September

Day 6 - Wednesday 19 September - Ignored by mummy!

This morning I felt even better than yesterday! Alright, I still suffer from diarrhoea, but I’m taking so many different kinds of medication that that’s not really a surprise. Nevertheless, my mummy called the vet to voice her concern! The vet reassured her that it was the medication, likely the antibiotics, and that it would go away once my medication stopped. Anyway, there’s only so much television you can see right? It’s been fun, in my catcave, but it’s time to get out now and get back to business!

I was determined to get out and tried passing mummy’s hands several times, but she wouldn’t let me! I wouldn’t give up though, like I did yesterday, and tried every trick in the book to get out. I started mewing softly and complainingly, but she ignored me! The nerve! I reached with my paw to her to get her attention, but she ignored me again! I stood on my hindlegs to see if there was an exit near the ceiling, but there wasn’t any that I could find. Eventually I decided that if I was going to be stuck here, I might as well try and clean that weird leg of mine. But she wouldn’t let me do that either and put my hood back on!

*sigh* I guess it’s back to catTV for me… ☹

A good thing is that my big stepbrother Sirius now comes to visit me more often to check up on me. He walks around the cage, trying to find a way in, but then when my mummy opens the door to let him in, he just sniffs me a few times and then walks out again?! Men are weird!

Update: I don’t really understand how this hood works. It’s transparent, I can see my leg, but I can’t touch it? Every time I bend over to try and clean my leg, it’s as if an invisible force field tries to stop me! Eventually I then give up and lie down in defeat…

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 tr...

Day 2 - Saturday 15 September - The operation

In the morning my mummy received a call from the hospital. They told her that everything was fine with me, but that I hadn’t eaten anything yet. The nurse once again said that is wasn’t certain if I would have surgery that day. She also told her that my family could visit me at 7 pm regardless and they would keep me up to date. Around 3 pm my mummy received another phone call from the hospital (they’re sure good at keeping them informed!). It was the surgeon who had operated me and want to tell her how the operation went. He said everything went smoothly, without any complications and he was positive that I would make a full recovery. He had used a metal plate, pins, screws and metal thread to keep the bone together and said I would probably be able to go home at 7 pm after my family’s visit. At 4 pm my family arrived at the hospital and were shown to one of the waiting rooms. Interestingly this room was adjacent to the OR and since the door was open my mother could look i...

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 ...
