(no subject)
Shithead the Kitten fell out of the tree this weekend and completely dislocated her left rear foot. Just yanked it so far out of joint that it wouldn't go back properly. That's no mean feat, seeing as cats are composed primarily of Silly Putty and elastic (along with hairballs and malice).
The vet has her in a splint for a few weeks now, and in all likelihood that will be enough to let the joint mend enough to be functional. If it's not and it doesn't look like it's made any progress, the best thing to do will be to amputate.
AMPUTATE.
I hope we don't have to have Shithead's foot removed. It'd make for a good freakshow pet menagerie though... we'd have the 3 legged cat, the acid casualty cat, and the dogopotamus.
It sounds like a basketball bouncing across the floor as Shithead humps along in her little yellow-bandaged splint. Poor muffin. Yet I can't help but giggle when she goes thumping by.
