Better news....Pyka had his first vet checkup Thursday morning. Vet said collar stays on another 2 weeks. Healing on ear is good.

He slept from last night til this morning - and so did Mom, thankfully! He is not hiding so much, just picking more remote places to sleep.

He is eating well, and calmer all around.

I kind of hope the collar can come off next Thursday...but we'll see...
