Hope you can figure it out, and prevent it from happening to any of the others. Kisses to Mouser...poor guy!
    No, we do not have a recliner. Nothing was fallen, out of place, or out of the ordinary...except BLOOD. Mouser's been very aggressive lately and I thought there had been a cat fight, but the vet said it appears it was caught versus a fight. We may never know what happened. You would think with all the cleaning we had to do we'd find where it happened, but we didn't.

    Thanks everyone! I will update you all as soon as his surgery is done. Should be sometime early this morning, and it's 6:05 a.m. here. Poor little guy, not only did he have to go through this trauma but had to stay overnight at the vets. He must think we abandoned him.

    What a horrible thing to happen - poor Mouser! It must have hurt so bad.

    Could his tail have been in the door - and one of the others came running and shut it on him? Oh, poor boy!

    I hope the operation goes well and he keeps most of his tail.

    Gentle kisses to Mouser and hugs to you.

    No, he was running loose in the house (reason blood was everywhere). No doors were closed that shouldn't have been. We just can't figure out where he caught it. The vet said bone was sticking out. It may remain a mystery. He had no access to the outdoor cat run either. Wish we knew.

    Poor Mouser. Good luck with his surgery and recovery. These are the times when you wish you had a 24 hr "cat-cam" going in the house just to see what is going on. 99% of the time - they sleep while you are gone. But just this once, you wish you had surveillance cameras!

    How scarey for you to come home to that!

    Get better Mouser - and don't do whateveritwasyoudid......AGAIN!

    Just called the vets and Mouser still hasn't had his surgery. I keep thinking how her ran to me and jumped up on the counter where I was standing. It was like he was asking me to help him.

    I'm so sorry that Mouser still has to wait. Poor, poor little boy.

    Poor guy! That must have been frightening. Prayers going out your way that they don't have to remove too much and that the surgery is quick and painless ... Poor Stubby

    Mouser is doing fine after his minor surgery. They had to remove 2 inches from the tail. He is in a cone since he was pulling at his badges. We will have to seclude him, probably in the spare bath, until his stitches get removed in 10 days. I will post pictures sometime this evening of the little bugger.

    Wonderful news!

    Well....wonderful about him doing well, not so wonderful that you'll have to seclude him. Hmmm....let see how much damage one cat can do to a bathroom in 10 days.
