Hi everyone...
First of all, let me thank all of you who left me comments and sent me emails regarding my last few posts about my situation and my kitty. I can not tell you how much I really appreciated EVERYTHING you guys done for me. Thank you so much, darlings. Your understanding and support was so greatly appreciated. There are still emails from some of you that I still haven't had the chance to reply yet, but I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you!!

As you can see, Merlin has been wearing the 'cone' and it's a large one! He's miserable with it, of course.. and you can see all the stitches on half of his lower back there, in the photo. I have to groom him every few hours since he can't do it himself.. gave him scratches on his back and also a wash once a day.. it's like a little kid. But he's happy whenever I'm around him.. He purrs so loud whenever I'm around.. whenever I'm on the computer he would try to climb up on my lap.. aww he's just a total sweetheart.
The vet said that he has to be an indoor cat from now on, or he will get attacked again. The problem is, he doesn't fight.. he runs. That's how he got hurt. You can't see it in the photo, but all over his shaved back, you can see deep old scratch and bite marks from other cats who attacked him in the past months.. Of course I didn't know anything about them until he got shaved. *sighs* My poor loving kitty.
Hubby said, Merlin's such a lousy wizard! *g*
But he's doing better. The stitches should come out next week.. his whole lower back was totally swollen because of the infection (abscess).. it was big, they said.. he was walking around with his lower back low on the ground when I knew something was totally wrong. *sighs*
Anyways, just thought I would update about my cat. He's doing fine now.
But I got hurt yesterday.. in the rain, running trying to get my kids from school, tripped over a stick, twisted my ankle. *ouch* My left ankle is now swollen, all bandaged, and I'm hopping all over the place.. can't walk properly.. it hurts so much.. Don't know when it'll be better.. :(
Never ends.. so unlucky this year.
*hugs everyone*
