Moggy

We have one cat and one dog. When we first moved into our home (over eight years ago now) I wanted a cat. A ginger cat. Don't ask me why ginger, but it seemed important at the time. One thing I learned pretty quickly is that when kittens grow into cats, they are much less fun. And this cat of mine (we'll call him G) shed a lot of hair. So G became an outside cat.

One time, G got sick. Really sick. I took him off to the vet and they put a drip in his leg. It turned out he had a kidney infection and the bugger cost me over $500. I had to feed him special food and everything. But he recovered and that's good.

G had been missing the past few days. Our neighbour was concerned too. He showed up today, missing a large chunk of skin from his leg and a few teeth marks in his head. I think a neighbourhood dog got a few good bites into him. So now he's hobbling around. The good thing about cats is that they clean themselves very thoroughly, so his would is very clean. It looks like it's about a week old - the skin has already started to grow back. No sign of infection or anything. He's a resiliant little critter. Good onya G! Perhaps the dog who took a bite is actually worse off!
