This is a bad week for a cat to be injured

With two broken hips I can’t get around much. For now all of my necessities have been moved to a central location until I heal. This is me in my priority location in easy reach of the food. Mmmmm… food.

With a holiday on Thursday, that means Vets are not available after Monday.

Booger was injured Sunday night and went to the Vet on Monday. They looked him over, took some x-rays and gave him pain meds. They sent his x-rays to a vet who does surgeries. At closing time on Tuesday that vet called and listed some options, said to research it on the internet and his office would call back the next day. It’s Friday now and I am still waiting for that call back. They didn’t mention the doctor would be out for the rest of the week. It’s frustrating that there are no emergency animal services available.

This morning I called several vets in the phone book and Booger has an appointment on Monday with someone new. I will have to stop and pick up his x-rays and more pain meds before then.

In the meantime, Booger has been very snuggly, even more than usual. He is always needing to be on my lap or right next to me. I am doing all I can to avoid the stairs because he will follow. He tries to play and still is trying to attack Kaleesi. It’s hard to keep him still. Maybe if I spoil him with turkey it will put him to sleep.
