The Mystery of the Missing Tail is Solved!

We've been early spring cleaning getting ready for company this weekend from Kentucky. Low and behold we find Mouser's tail and how it happened! We were cleaning out our very messing computer room closet, when Kevin spotted "the tail". Also there was a table paper cutter and hair and blood! I can only imagine what torture poor Mouser went through! :( The closet is now completely emptied out and a nice new area for litter boxes. Here's Mouser discovering his loss:

Poor baby.That some story,I have never heard of such a thing,

Awww, poor Mouser, but he doesn't seem to hold any grudges towards it.

Amazing how cats can get into things we never expected!

Ouch. Poor Mouser :(

So the cat police figured out what happened to poor Mouser now? That had to be a most harrowing experience for the poor guy and then you come home to find all that blood everywhere.... Ewwwwww! I am glad we finally know what happened to the poor baby that night...

Ouch :( Poor guy.

glad you solved the mystery.

OH MY GOSH, Lisa!!! You mean one of those ones that you lift, line up the paper, then pull down and CHOP? :eek: How in the world???? YIKES! Poor baby!!!!

Poor Mouser. :( I'm glad that you finally solved the mystery though so that all of your furkids will now be out of danger.

How the heck did Mouser get his tail under that knife :eek:

Oh no! We have a thing like that too. Must see how to make it safe for the boys!!

How is poor Mouser now?

Poor Mouser! There he was trying to help out in the office ...

I'll bet you feel better knowing how it happened though.

Oh no ! :( :( Poor Mouser!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Oh poor Mouser, it must have hurt terrible. :( :( I remember the shock you got when you discovered it, with blood everywhere. At least, now you know what happened - I bet the paper cutter is stored in safe place now.

Yes! Exactly that. What we figure is Paisley would hide out in that closet (she's still semi-feral) and Mouser is very aggressive with her. We think he went in after her and during the scuffle knocked the paper cutter in a way it caught his tail and off it went! :eek: I'm just glad we finally got it solved and the danger out of there! The nice thing is I'm able to tuck the litter boxes in there now and the cats seem to really like it. Gives them a litte more privacy! :) We will now keep our closets in better order! :D :eek:

OMG!!! I have never heard of.....or seen such a thing. Poor baby.

Poor Mouser! But now that you know how it happened, you can prevent it.

Poor Mouser.
But it could have been a lot worse,if he had gotten one of his paws stuck under the blade.
Thank God,for small mercies!!
And we are glad that Mouser is All Right.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

OMG! I can't imagine just cleaning away and coming across something like this!

Gary is so right that Mouser is lucky it was just his tail, but like you say, at least the mystery is solved and now you know.

Poor Mouser!

But then again he shouldn't have been terrorizing poor Paisley in the first place! :p

Poor Mouser. What a terrible experience that must of been. I am glad he's healing up nicely & everything is taken care of so it won't happen again.

It is amazing what they can get into sometimes.

I was just thinking about poor Mouser the other day... wondering how he was doing and whether you had found out how the accodent happened. Imagine my horror when I read this thread this morning! :eek:

I am glad that the mystery has been solved, and the paper cutter is moved. I am always amazed at what the kitties can get into! :rolleyes:

OUCH! :eek: I bet that thing is locked down tighter than tight now!

Kids !!!! Always getting into something :D Sometimes cat-proofing a house is no easy task. Glad Mouser has recovered just fine.

Poor Mouser.
I'm glad the mystery is solved now.
His tail wasn't lost, it was just misplaced for a while.
Did he ever try to tell you to look in the closet?
I'm sure he knew it was there all along.

wow!
and at the same time
eeewww
poor Mouser!!
