Unimpressed

smokingbootMy dreams were strange and unpleasant. I have decided to blame worry and last night's bottled beer.
The hospital bods have not been able to take Monty's bloods yet, because somehow they managed to ignore my endless warnings about him being a semi-feral un-neutered tom carrying a wound now described to me by the RSPCA as 'horrific'. I suppose I should thank them for admitting this latter, but as the damn thing looks like someone tried to saw his head off from one side, then turned him over and tried again from the other, I don't feel they deserve praise for observing the fecking obvious. However, having ascertained this much, it never occurred to them that a cat with these characteristics would attack when cornered by a gang of larger predators who tried to stick needles in him. He fought. He's had to fight for months.
So now they are saying that he may be harder to home if he is an 'aggressive' cat. He's not aggressive, he was as gentle as a lamb with a whole bunch of handlers, he just did what any of us would do if we were terrified and seemingly attacked for gods sake.
He will be sedated for cleaning the wound and bloodwork tests today. If he's got Feline HIV/Leukemia, it's the end for him, but they won't know that til next week.So far they can't even identify what caused the wound.

But you can only do what you can do.
