Someone is running down his tally of lives

[nanila]

Astro snagged himself on something sharp on Sunday evening and had to go to the vet yesterday for minor surgery. He now has a shaved flank and six stitches in his right leg. But the biggest indignity is, of course, the "Elizabethan collar", better known as the Cone of Shame, which he has to wear for the next 10-14 days.

We reckon this takes his life tally to seven, after the attempt to take up residence inside the Yaris.

He is grumpy about the cone but otherwise fine.

Oh dear!

[nanila]

Yes quite. 😞

Poor little bean! Glad he’s all right, aside from the dreaded Cone.

[nanila]

Thank you. We're trying to keep him as comfortable as possible with scritches and brushing, since he can't groom.

[gwendraith]

Aww poor Astro. I'm glad he's been fixed up and hope he's soon back to normal.

[nanila]

Thank you. I hope so too.

oh Astro! silly cat. Then again, our cat has been running on 1 life for the last ten years having used up his other 8 in the first 7....

[nanila]

I'm hoping this is just kitten silliness and it will pass once he's full grown!

[annofowlshire]

Oh dear!

[nanila]

Indeed. 😞

[liseuse]

Awww, poor little one! I hope he recovers smoothly <3

[nanila]

It's proving to be a bumpy ride but hopefully back on track soon.

Oh no! Poor kitty!

Do those soft inflatable “donuts” work on cats? We have one for our small dog, and they’re much more comfortable and navigable than the hard cones. But I can imagine cats possibly being squirrelly enough to push them off. Maybe 🤔

Oh, the indignity! Glad he's alright.

They have soft collars on Amazon which are more comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/ComSaf-Protective-Comfortable-Lightweight-Elizabethan/dp/B0BYYPB1H9/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=E5EJICWITEWD&keywords=cat%2Belizabethan%2Bcollar&qid=1693959517&sprefix=cat%2Belizabeth%2Bcollar%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-4-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

Thank you. ❤️

Poor Astro. Seems to have a touch of the single braincell, given the first two lives used to this point.

[nanila]

Yes, hopefully this will be a more impactful learning experience, given the duration of the consequences. 🫤

[shirebound]

Sadly, he will never forgive you... until the moment the Cone of Shame is removed and you are once again the coolest, best mommy in the Universe!

[nanila]

Fingers crossed that is the outcome!

[ankaret]

Oh no, kitten!

[nanila]

Silly, silly kitten. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[azurelunatic]

Oh, poor baby! The WOE in those little eyes!

[nanila]

There has been a lot of that over the last few days. 😞 Poor little guy.
