Oh poor kitty! :O I am so sorry the poor thing is injured! Isn't that the worst feeling in the world, knowing they're in pain, but they can't tell you what's wrong? So you go out of your mind with worry until you get them to the vet. I'm so glad it's just a strained muscle!
Also, the kitties are GORGEOUS! SO beautiful and shiny! <3 I really want to rub the belly in the first pic! Kitty belly! The feet thing is adorable. There's no explanation for why pets like the craziest things! ^__^ I DO understand the obsession with shoes! Your babies are so beautiful, and I'm really glad Verdandi will be okay!
Yeah, I was really really worried with her when she just kept growling and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I was afraid she'd eaten something! Gladly that wasn't the case.
Verdandi is doing so much better now. :-) Taking her meds like a champ (although she makes it clear she doesn't like it) and limping less. I think she'll heal fine.
LOL. Nuala loves to display her enormous belly just like Verdandi xD
I don't have a good pic of her doing it or I'd post, it's SO ridiculous looking with her sprawled in the sunbeam going "DIS IS MAH BELLEH!! U GOTS PROBLEM??"
Macha's quite skinnier than she should be right now; her bloodwork came back all normal, no FIV/FIP/FeLV, so we have to find out more.
They've been sleeping on me every night since I've come home from hosp. Little nurselings!
X-D That is just the way Verdandi does it! I was just lucky I managed to snap a shot of it. *lol*
Cats are awesome like that though... They are very very loving, although not like a dog who are just all over your face and nearly smoother you... Cats just ARE. :-) And that's why they are awesome. It is so sweet that they know you are not totally OK and want to show that they care. Little nurselings indeed. :-) *hugs*
The first two cats that I grew up with looked just like Skuld and Verdandi... It is eerie really... Although Pyret and Ida (as they were called) where much, much tougher outdoor cats who had quite a big turf that they defended... quite violently at times. Once home though, they were the cuddliest things you could ever imagine. They let me and my brother do anything with them, dress them up in doll-clothing and put them in doll-beds and stuff. :-)
Awww, poor thing. A cat with a pulled muscle ... I did that last year and it wasn't fun. Tell Verdandi I sympathize. They are both so beautiful! I love cats but I'm allergic to them :`(
Ouch, poor kitty! D: Glad to hear she's on her way to getting better. They are really pretty, both of them!
One of the front paws of my Duchess swelled up one morning a couple of months back, and I was as baffled as you, due to her being an indoor cat too. She didn't seem to be in any pain (didn't say a word when I was poking around the swollen paw), but she was limping, so I took her to vet where they put her on a similar medicine for a week. The vet couldn't find anything wrong with her and guessed she must have sprained her ankle or something. ...But it does seem odd she wasn't hissing, hearing your story. Whatever it was, it was pretty much gone the next day though, so it couldn't have been anything serious.
But still, as you say, you don't expect stuff like that to happen to an indoor cat! @.@
(Glad to see things are going well for you with work, even though that was quite a long day!)
Oh, I'll have a worse day next week... (8am-12am then 4pm-8pm... o.O)
Yeah, I was just looking at the cat when she got home and peting73 told me what the Vet had said... and I just looked at Verdandi going... 'How did you managed to DO that?!?!?!' Cats. They are special. :-P
Good to hear it wasn't anything to serious with Duchess either. o.O I've seen photos of that cat. She is a true beauty. Pure breed, right? Our cats are... just your everyday farm-cats. And overweight. *lol* I am seriously considering putting them on a diet.

Cool that you know where my girls names are from! :-D Not that many that are that familier with Norse Myth and Lore. ;-)
