...I know we haven't been around here too much in the recent time...
Nellie has been quite ill and I was worried about her recovery, so I spent more time with her than with the internet.
Somehow she has shredded all the claws on her hind paws and unfortunately (as for having the flu myself) it took me some days to find out what was wrong with her...
We rushed to the vet and she was treated...I got a lampshade that she had to wear for two days...that was hell for her and didn't help much as we found out that she could still lick her paws...we watched her very carefully and we put camomille tea on her feet, which helped her a lot...While she was confined to the indoors, we spent a lot of time cuddling together and sewing blankies for the shelter cats...here Nellie is testing the quality of the blankets:

After being confined to the indoors for over a week (that was hell, too!) she is now allowed to take her daily strolls in the
garden again...it will take still some time until the claws will be grown back again, but she's now happy...

Doesn't her paws look yummy again?!
