pinkeye-- friday cat blogging
our male kittenjust got home from being fixed. poor tyke. In a perfect world, male cats would get to keep their balls, but female cats don't buy into the Nancy Reagan formula. Apparently, because female cats don't ovulate until the male cat withdraws, different kittens in the same litter can have more than one daddy. Gives new meaning to the phrase "who's your daddy?"...
Pink (our male kitten), also lost his eye due to an infection in his babyhood, so the vet had to operate to take out the useless eye material, clean up the eye, and sew it shut. We were worried he'd be kinda freaked, but he came home from the vet hungry and raring to go. He's already jumped on every cabinet, gotten into the sink, run back and forth investigating the apartment, and sparred with his cousin,
abby (seen here airborne chasing her favorite toy, a feathered stick), so i guess he's feeling ok.

Error of fact:
Pink did not lose his eye from an infection.
He lost it because he fell at the age of about 4 weeks backwards off of the abandoned mattress into the dangerous crevice between the old stove and the garbage pile. I was there; I saw it. I happened to look up from my computer out the window just in time to see his four pink legs spill upended into the abyss. It was a comic, flailing fall, tho with tragic consequences. His feral mom couldn't reach him so I went outside in my slippers to fish him out of the crevice, and most of his poor poked-out eye was trailing down his bloody face.
He is a brave cat.
you never told me that for chrissake. Why then was there anti-infection eye-medicine for him?
and, yes, he is a very brave cat.
