Happy Tuesday! It's been a minute since we've posted a Boo update.
Last Friday night, for the first time, we saw both of Boo's naked back legs! But this was not a "Yay!" moment, her bandage has been slipping down, and she managed to get it stuck between the litter box and the side of her crate, and pulled her leg out.
We cleaned and bandaged her back up, and took her back to vet hospital to have her rebandaged yesterday.
The Medical Update:
Will she fully heal and get her bandage off? If your older, you may have seen a Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit. This has become our life... Not the "money pit" as the title suggests, as Boo pays us back in love and purrs 10-fold. Nope, in the movie the contractor is constantly telling them the house will be done in "two weeks". We've been living the "two weeks" life for what feels like months now.
But, she is down to only needing her 3 stitches left to heal. Even if the last surgery doesnt fully fuse her bones together, her bone is held together by metal plates that will stay with her forever. She can walk, run, and jump just fine on them. It's only a matter of getting the skin to close around it. She's had so much trauma to the area, it's not having the elasticity that it should.
The Well-Being Update:
Boo is over being "injured". She's tired of her crates at home, she's tired of medicine multiple times a day... Despite all the new toys I try to find her, or the constant traffic of birds and squirrels at her window. She wants to get out and run, play with her siblings, etc . She is very vocal about it!
Boo is happiest when she can get out to her crates on the boat, at the lake. Where she can watch her canine friends in the water, see different scenery, new birds, boats moving, etc..
She also loves her car rides. Boo has a new car seat, recommended by her friend Tank, that allows her backpack to sit up high, at window level, so she can see everything. She will sit on her butt like we do and watch everything going on around us. Not only that, but she tries to order food at the drive-thrus, but luckily, none of them speak "Cat", but she wouldn't be able to eat it anyways.
Boo isn't a fan of stores yet, but we are working on it. She's getslting better, like with all things, she will hide at first, then peek out, because curiosity gets the better of her.
Cats (and dogs) are no different than us in that way. It takes bravery to go into new places and situations. But we need to push through that uncomfortableness, to see what's on the other side. Our lives are more enriched because of it.
We hope everyone has a great week!
