So it turns out poor Ptolemy has a fractured metatarsal in his right-hind-paw, and will be indoors and bandaged up for the next month or so. Happily, he doesn’t have to wear a Stupid Plastic Cone–at least not initially: he’s shown no interest in trying to remove the bandage, and I hope things stay that way. And he’s generally being heroic and good tempered about the situation, which can’t be much fun for him. Good cat.
Oh, what a brave cat. And what beautiful markings he has!
Yes: he’s a gorgeous animal, and very photogenic.
Well, a bit less so with the stupid bandage.
