Zucchini

Zucchini is staying in his "safe room"... previously known as the bathroom.

The vet pointed out that the bump he has on his right ear is actually a BB stuck in his ear.  He has a scar on his ear from where it grazed it before getting stuck.  So horrible to think someone actually shot at him.  The vet said that if they took an x-ray of him she'd probably find other BBs stuck in him.

Me waiting outside the bathroom.  Need to monitor the time my mom spends with Zucchini.



Cat vs. Cat

My mom broke out this book after Zucchini showed up.  I think she's going to use it to trick us into being friends.  Sneaky. 

Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat

Cone Head

I was taken to the vet today with Zucchini.  He got his initial check-up, vaccinations, microchip, tested for Feline Leukemia (came back negative, by the way!), and had his claws trimmed.  Zucchini wasn't very happy about getting blood drawn for the Leukemia test, which got me upset, which in turn made him more upset.  The vet decided it best to use a gas anesthetic to calm him down and knock him out so they could do the what they needed to.  I was happy when they took him out of the room, but I was still very unhappy...  Too make it worse, the vet then took the time to look at my hurt paw.  I didn't really like her poking at it and spreading my toes apart.  Didn't feel good.  THEN she tried to soak my paw in an epsom salt bath... totally not okay.

Anyway, the end result was that Zucchini was mellow and all taken care of.  And I got sent home with antibotics for my paw which has a mostly healed cut on the bottom, and a topical ointment for the cut itself.  Worst part of it all is that the vet gave my mom a cone collar to have me wear while I have the ointment on so I can't lick it off (which I want to cause it doesn't make my toes feel good when she puts it on).

Can't wait for my paw to be all healed so I don't have to wear this horrible cone anymore.

New "Friend" Zucchini

My mom allowed a stranger to come into our home tonight.  She calls him Zucchini, previously known as Ferdinand.  She kept saying he was a "friend"... dunno about that....

New Cat Carrier

My mom didn't mention that this new cat carrier was not for me but for the "NEW" cat that she would bring home... at least I got to have fun playing in it while I had the chance.

I hurt my paw...

I'm keeping how I hurt my paw a secret... but my mom thinks I hurt it from scratching a hole in the bottom of the box-spring mattress she has and crawling around up there.  It's a fun hiding place and great spot for naps!  Too bad she covered over my entrance..
