Sorry I didn't get back sooner, thanks for the advice.

We have an appointment tomorrow afternoon and the vet didn't seem too concerned. He made it sound as if it's all part of the healing process.

And Rascal being the rascal that he is, managed to break his cone. He's been one very happy kitty since...... just don't like that he's chewing on some of his stitches. With all the commotion, it would seem that my three other cats have all accepted him as part of the family. Simba was holding out, but is now playing with Rascal.

Thanks,
Deb
