They took it away


1) Her tail
2) Her ability to procreate
3) Her ability to scratch (short-term only)

Yes, Buddy went to the vet. When she was returned to us yesterday, she wasn't feeling or looking so hot. I told you about this cat, right? She is a polydactal - meaning she has 7 toes & nails on each of her front paws, and extra pads on her feet. 

This little girl was left out in the cold this winter, and when she was turned in to the SPCA, she had severe frost bite damage on her paws and tail.  This is what led to the tailostomy yesterday. Add in a cone on her head to keep her from licking, plus deny her food for a day or two during recovery leads to a pretty rough life for a 7 month old kitty.  














But she is in 
good spirits.
