I caught Little Boy.  He couldn't even put weight on his paw.  He came up during the day to eat and I rear ended him into the cat carrier.  First time I've heard him talk outside of his I'm going to kick your ass scream to another cat.  How many times did I say feral cat yet the vet tech took him out of the krate.  He wasn't going back in but didn't tear her up either.  They had to wrap him in a towel to take him to the box where they gas him so they can examine him.  I left him up there to be worked into the schedule.  I don't even want to guess at what this is going to cost.  Somebody needs to help him and I guess that is me.

It's an old fracture that has healed but is causing him pain when the weather acts up or he strains it.  He did well with them.  He didn't even bitch about riding in the car.  Brought him back home and he hung out on the back porch for a bit.  I elected not to have him fixed because he would have had to stay inside for a week.  Not that I wouldn't have done that for him but he would have went crazy trying to get out of the house the whole time.  And imo, it takes a certain amount of balls to survive in the wild.  He needs all the testosterone he can get.  I'll see if he still comes around me after this.

That's a new one.  I hear this squeak and Terrapin jumps off the bed.  Go out in the hall and the two cats have something cornered.  Kind of looks like a baby bird but it has fur.  It's a baby bat on the ground.  No idea how that got in here.  Still alive but I don't know if it could fly.  Put it back outside.  Had to let it crawl out of the bag.

Little Boy finally showed back up and seems to have no hard feelings towards me.

What is with Lily?  She's all over me.  And with the other cats she's expressing her dominance.
