My cat looks like Frankenstein

[botias]

The Eighties giveth and the Eighties taketh away. For a bit I thought they were going to take away my one-eyed, completely deaf, nearly toothless cat. But now that his abscess has been cleaned out he's interested in food and water again, and has even made attempts to escape the house. He's a trooper.

His shaved shoulder is something out of a horror film (I assume) weeping holes (or something out of a bad porny fic?) held open by strips of gauze strung between them and tied in neat little knots. He is a black cat so his shaved hide is a nasty blue-white color which sets it all off nicely. He will live to clean out my savings another day it seems.

What a wonderful tribute to your elderly yet indomitable kitty, and to your love for him and your committment to his well being. Your post warmed my heart. How I would have loved it if the cats of my yesterdays had lived to be old. They'd be with me still.

Aww. Kitty's all set for Halloween. I hope he heals up comfy!

And we name this cat, the Indomitable. God bless her and all who sail in her. And may there be many patches of bone-warming sunshine to lie in.

Awww... I still remember him as an annoying little kitten. He's not the only one getting old. *pets*

Heh, he is at that. :D

Yes, many patches of sunshine since he turned up his nose at the heating pad in classic cat fashion. They will only lie in the beds they make themselves.

Heh, don't remind me. :)

He is the indomitable. It makes a little sad because his will is clearly stronger than his body. *hugs him gently*
