How many of you would still be living a normal life with a gash so deep you can see your muscle underneath? Yeah right we'd be off to hospital as fast as possible, telling anyone we could we are about to die. Yet this is what happened to our cat. He came home the other day and I noticed him licking his left shoulder/leg quite a lot, so I had a look at him and there was a noticeable gash, about the size of a new 50c coin. So off to the vet we went, thinking he's need stitches. But no apparently with a course of anti-biotics the vet says it will heal fine, but not before moving the gash around to demonstrate to me the live workings of the inside of a cat.
This whole time he's been purring lots, rolling around in the sun, stretching, all the normal things cats do, just with a massive hole in his body. I commented about this to the vet, he simply put it as 'humans are wimps'.
As a thank you this morning, he brought us a bird. Still with a gash in his side. I caught the bird and took it outside, it flew off again but he chased it down catching it in mid-air, still with a gash in his side. Fucking impressive.
