Poorly Billy

Thank you for all the good wishes for poorly boy.. hes sitting beside me, and is intently staring out of the window, as if to say

"You not good mummy.. you keep me inside it's not fair "

My reply to Billy is..

"Poor boy.. I know you love going out, but remember what the cat doctor said (Vet to you humans) you have to stay in for a few days to let your tail heal"

Billy is in a lot less discomfort than he was yesterday, he can now put his tail down without flinching, but its now moved onto the itching stage, and he twitches it alot, but itching shows a) its healing and b) he still has a lot of feeling there, so they are good signs I hope.

I think that a large persian-oid looking cat (horrible dirty cream and dirty brown very scruffy possibly un-neutered male monster) may have done the damage - certainly not snake because one of the wounds looks as if it goes all the way through to the other side of his tail, and the puncture wounds are too small for those of a fox.

I will, of course keep you all updated as to his progress.

Meanwhile.. please also send some love and attention for my other pet.. Douglas ;-) whose tail is a little out of joint... not from a bite, but from missing camp, and not getting as much sympathy as Billy :-) (Pooor Douggieee lots of love from his Anna)
