Poor kitty

[thebitterguy]

Just one of many things going on right now, but when Cynra was trimming the nails of our middle cat (the big yellow one), Ra, she found that one of them had become ingrown and infected.

She took him down to the vet's today (which is another amusing story on its own), and they fixed him up, trimming the nail and cleaning the wound. So now, we need to soak his paw in warm water with Epsom salts twice a day and give him antibiotics. Now, thankfully, Ra is the most complacent of the cats; he'll sit there and let you stick his paw in warm salty water for ten minutes, twice a day, as long as you wrap him up in a towel first.

Pilling, no problem as long as Cynra does it. She's got a bit of a gift for it. But he is well.
And I now have Catbook installed on my Facebook. I don't know what that MEANS for me, but it can't be good.

Glad Mr Ra is doing well. I envy you your complacent cat. Neither of mine would even remotely let me do that to them.

Oh, he wasn't thrilled. Hence the vital 'wrap him in a towel' part of the procedure.

We'll likely split it between epsom salts in the morning and rubbing alcohol in the evening.

Poor kitty! Should I send him a live mouse as a "get well" gift?

How about some Valium? You or Ra could use them from the sounds of it.
