Good for you, Mom!!! And thank you for setting those ignorant jerks straight about Pouncer. All Pouncer knew was that he was hurting and he was scared that it might hurt even more by your trying to help. Poor kitty didn't understand what was happening to him. Pouncer isn't a mean kitty, he's a real sweetheart. Put him to sleep for this one incident? I think not. So sorry to hear about your infection and hope it clears up very soon. Did they give you a tetanus shot? If not, you might want to ask your doctor about it. Prayers being prayed for your quick recovery and that your pain will stop very soon. Thank you so much for being so understanding about poor Pouncer!
