Well, as some of you know a cat I had for 16 years pasted away about 2 years ago. Feb. 07 I replaced him with a newborn kitten. I named him Sour Patch after the candy. At first he's kind of mean and will bite at you then he's sweet and will give you a bath, hence his name and he's been a great cat over the past year. About a week ago he got into a fight with another cat and had a wound to the corner of his eye (or so I thought). I didn't think too much about it but watched it. Last Tuesday it started bleeding so I took him to a vet. The vet said he had an abscessed wound above his eye and his eye was scratched so bad that it needed to come out asap but until then the vet put him on antibiotics. After a day I contacted a vet who cold do the surgery with a laser to make it easier for the cat and quicker to heal. He said the eye should stay for now because the cat still has some vision in it but he needed stitches, more medicine and some work done to and around the eye. So today things seem to be going much better and with any luck will continue to do so without the eye being permantly removed. I give you Sour Patch before and after! While the pic may look bad it's nothing compared to what it looked like a few days ago. In the end I'd happily (ok, maybe not happily) hand over the money again. Watch those cat fights because they can cost you!

I hope that Sour Patch got in some pretty good licks on the other cat for doing that nasty deed to Sour Patch. I hope that all goes well with the surgery and recovery. The money was indeed well spent. You have a great companion/pet. I also regret to hear about the loss of your other cat. That really sucks! I have six cats myself and I always think how I am going to react when and if one of them should pass when their respected time comes. It is a lousy feeling as you may already know first hand. It must be like losing a family member. Thanks for being a great and responsible pet owning by doing the right thing. I wish everyone was like you and understanding the needs of their pets. Please keep us posted on Sour Patch's condition. Get well soon Sour Patch!
