Many of you who've been here forever know of Pouncer's paw troubles.... like how he likes to declaw himself manually. Well, Ms. Flutter is taking lesson because she ripped a nail out herself. Meowmie was a mess when she discovered it this afternoon. Flutter was annoyed that meowmie kept checking out her paw to see the poor toe that used to have a nail, that now only sports a fleshy vein.
All is well.... of COURSE it happened over a weekend (don't these things always happen on a weekend?) and I decided she'll heal to purrfection without a vet trip. She's already forgotten about the incident and running about at full speed. I think she's more traumatized by the clipping of all her other nails as soon as I realized she ripped one out. :rolleyes:
Hubby's been commenting all week that she's been getting her nails caught on the blanket.... I wish I'd have listened to him earlier :o I just didn't want to trim her nails since I keep them a bit longer because she uses them to get up on the bed, chairs, cat tree, etc. They're not longer anymore. And everyone else got a nice trim too.
Here's a recent(ish) photo of my good little patient.

PS: Pouncer's a silly little brat who's surgery was finally paid off last week :D Every time I call the vet (I called friday to order more food) they all ask how he's doing and tell me how much they love him. Glad I have a famous kitty everyone loves.
