I mentioned earlier in this blog that Billee has a potential new home. Her adopters were going to drive down to see her and what happens?
She gets an upper respiratory, of course. Argh! My house fosters never get sick!
So I emailed her adopters and asked them to hold off a week. Well, she got over her sniffles and is her normal bright eyed and sweet self again...but then got snagged by one of our cats in the forehead. No big deal, except she decided she should scratch it. And scratch it. AND scratch it.
I don't adopt out sick cats or cats with abrasions that need attention. So when Ivan got a new e-collar because his first one had gotten soft and floppy, I slapped the old one on Billee. She can wear hers down like a skirt because I just need to keep her back foot away from her head.
It took her an hour or so to walk forward instead of backing up, but now she's acting like it's no big deal. She even climbs to the top of her cat tower, no problem. And it sure doesn't stop her from rolling over for her tubby rubs.
AND she can't scratch her forehead abrasion, which is healing nicely in 18 short hours. So hopefully her potential adopters won't have given up on her by the time she's all in one piece again!
Billee, do you know how hard it is to find homes for squishy adult cats, even if they are cute as sin, have ear tufts, travel well in cars, are halter trained, and have the cutest belly in the world? Don't blow it, girl!

Jaxsun has to wear the Cone of Shame (said in announcer type voice) last week for some hotspots. He feels the same humiliation as your putty tats.
