OUCH Lori!! You've got my sympathies!! I know it hurts because when Magoo first bit me (before the infection set in) it was the pain from the nerves that hurt so much! I know you know the routine.....watch for redness, swelling, blah, blah, blah so I won't do all that.

The pain inside hurts as much as the pain outside doesn't it? I felt very hurt because I thought I was doing a good thing and trying to help this poor blind kitty and this is what I get in return??? I know your pain must be far worse since you were loving your mom's cat and she did you like that. It sounds like she is easily over stimulated but you knew she was missing your Mom too and needed attention. Even though you know she is confused and is missing your mom it still hurts inside. I'm sorry your Dad found out too. I thought about trying to hide mine from hubby at first but that was impossible!

Don't give up on Miss Kitty just remember to pet her from behind and watch that head movement!!!

I hope your hand and your heart feel better soon.
