I admit it, I didn't call the vet. But you should see this cat! 5 days after surgery and he's running as well now as he did before they patched him up. I am truly amazed. Yesterday Toby pushed a door into Havoc's "magic" hip and he didn't even holler. I still keep one of them in a cage when I can't supervise though. Got the FuzzButt 500 going on right now- they're running laps up and down the hall.
