Tangling with the wrong things causes chaos ........

We have had a very eventful week. Our cat Tangles got tangled in the hay mower last Sunday and mangled his right back paw. A trip to the vet, several hundred $$ later and he now is a three legged half tailed very lucky cat on his last life. It is amazing how such a random act can tip your world upside down in an instant. Poor hubby is still traumatized and has done the if only thing til it has driven us both nuts.The cat now has a degree of separation anxiety - he has to be beside one of us at all times - even to the point if you roll over in bed he will swap sides, he is also being driven crazy by the cone around his neck, he can't lick himself - of course that is the purpose - so he can't pull out his drain tube or stitches - but to him it is some cruel form of torture. He has however adapted exceptionally well to his missing leg, he can still beat me to the fridge, jump up onto our beds and sit on the back of my arm chair.The top photo was taken the morning of his accident and the bottom yesterday - Day 3 post op
