On Monday night I found a trail of fresh blood leading from the catflap, across the kitchen floor & up onto the worktop. I thought it must be a cut pad on one of the cats but after checking them all(except Tipsy who is that nervous she usually vanishes when we open the door )couldn't find any injuries at all so thought it must be Tipsy. Or one of them had brought a half dead mutilated mouse in & let it drip all over the place :rant: :x

The following morning Nervous Nerys AKA Tipsy finally came in with a horrible gash along her cheekbone, soooo close to her eye.

The vet reckons it's been done on bloody barbed wire :rant: Poor Tipsy had to be knocked out & now has a few little stitches in. She was very wobbly all last night & had to be kept in, more stress for her as she hates to be confined. The local mouse population probably had a peaceful night tho :- "

Before the vet visit.

After surgery not a very clear pic but I didn't want to stress her out, she hates to be confined or have stuff done to her. So a weeks worth of AB's are going to be just wonderful eh?

Nanny Hebe takes care of Tipsy :huggles: Or it may just be she was trying to get closer to the fire :lol:

I'm just so glad the vet has managed to stitch this back as she did say if it had been a fraction closer to the eye there wouldn't have been anything to stitch it back to.

Tipsy says thank you to everyone for their good wishes

My plan to keep her in for a couple of days went to pot when she made a break for it out of the cat flap. She's been back since tho & has had every tablet up to now. Luckily she's not noticed them in her food so I don't have to forcibly shove them down her throat. :sweating: If I started manhandling her she would probably vanish for days. The stitches are dissolvable too so she doesn't need to go back unless there is a problem.
