Silly fighting cats.

Silly kitties.

We bought Tigra home with her stitches from her speying still in place. She was due to have them out today.

Boomer managed to get a claw into them whilst play fighting. This isn't terribly unusual for cats, of course, the grand back leg kick maneuvre is well known.

So we had to take Tigra to the vet tonight, as she was chewing the kicked stitched belly like a mad thing and trying to pull them out. (There was a wee panic involved, mostly on Tobermory's part as I think he had mental images of the stitches coming loose and her intestines falling out, or something. Not that he likes cats, of course...) However, our local vet was still open, quite happy to see a small uncomplicated case of kitty, and they're literally two minutes up the road.

$25 later, I have a wee container of kitty antibiotics, one kitty with no stitches, a $5 bag of cat toys and two sachets of kitty treats.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for my babycats.
