    YOWCH! Poor Mouser.

    Something similar happened to our RB girl Amanda. An unknown tail injury resulted in amputation. But she looked quite cute with her little stump.

    OMG!!! It looks like a masacre! Poor Mouser, and poor you and your husband having to deal with all that blood. Do you have a recliner that he could have been napping in? Those can grab hold of body parts and injure them if someone sits in them unaware a cat is inside...and it just takes one sizable kitty to jump up at the wrong time.... 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.

    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.

    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.
