Balls and Claws update

I forgot to let everyone know that Scout is doing fine! He's back to his loud, demanding, meowing self. Except he's missing a few things :-) His bad eye seems lazier though...weird. On the sheet from the vet it showed that he weighed in at 6.3 pounds! What a hoss! When we found him he was just at 1 pound.

Anyways, he's up to date on all his shots and happy as can be. I was even able to switch back to the regular litter today. Thank goodness!

Balls & Claws

Scout (the recently rescued kitten) finally reached the weight to get declawed! Yay for my furniture!!! And for my hands and arms which are constantly scratched up!!! We decided while he was sedated, we might as well get him neutered. Although we felt bad...the poor little guy was going to wake up missing a few things he loved dearly!
This was him the night before surgery playing at my mom's house.
Here is one of the claws that I'm NOT going to miss!
and I was attempting to get a picture of the other 'items' he was going to lose. Murray's laughing at us.
JM picked him up this afternoon from the vet. (The vet requires them to spend at least one night there after the surgery for observation). When he went to get Scout out of his carrier, his paws were bleeding. He had to take him back to the vet and they're going to keep him for at least one more night. The vet said it wasn't a big deal, the wounds had just opened. I feel bad though!!!
I don't think Boo and Kodi are missing him too much. Boo slept on the bed...Kodi's not being batted at. Hopefully he'll be back tomorrow to tourment the others!
