Did I mention that fateful night when Digit came home, I thought he had a major head injury before I realized it was just the bone formation in his head? He was soooo skinny……
Lala has noted that even his ass is somewhat less bony now!
My Bouncer dog has a condition* that caused his jaw muscles to atrophy. When you pet his head, you can feel all the bones in his skull. You don’t realize how much muscle there really is on an animal’s head until it’s not there. ๐
*masseter muscle myositis, I think it’s called.
oh boy he does not look happy to have his pic taken lol…or it could be the fact that he is a “cone head kitty” right now lol
poor baby…but he looks so well…alert.
Holy crap – Digit is the reincarnation of my old mean alley cat bitch, Yumyums. (We were children when we named her that, after she adopted us, and it brought about a sort of Boy Named Sue toughness that she may not have had otherwise.)
Despite the foofy name, she could kick some serious ass, God rest her furry black soul.
Indignant and somewhat horrified, too… Oh yeah. You’re gonna pay.
Keep chowing down, Digit, and just try to feel the lurve! (I’m thinkin’ it’s also good he’s got good drugs. [g])
If I were you, I wouldn’t turn my back on him once that collar is off, or you might be the ones with stripes on her back. Man he looks some ticked off.
Guess what? Kitty butt!! (Yeah. I’m twelve.)
Just catching up on blog reading today and I am AMAZED by the saga of Digit. I am so, so happy for you. Once again, I was moved to tears. A good cat story will do it every time!
I cry every time you give us an update. He may be a little annoyed that he’s got a cone collar and a shaved butt, but I think, even if he doesn’t really how it, he’s happy because he knows he’s home.
How truly wonderful! As a person who lost a loved kitty recently, my heart is just filled with joy at the return of your Digit, and his regaining health!
maeve says
Poor Digit – Mom’s putting your shaved butt all over the internets!!
Don’t worry – I’m sure you’ll think of a suitable method of feline revenge….
Juti says
You did answer the question I’ve always had… about whether the stripes were the hair or the skin.
celeste says
oh, he’s looking good.
Inky says

Gwen says

OMG. Freakin’ adorable, that is! I bet he’s got the good fuzz for petting on the rump and nether regions. Go go, trooper cat!!
He makes me smile. =)
jodi says

PlazaJen says
ooooo, those are some blackmailin’ pictures for sure! He’s wearing kitty-cat chaps! (um, a$$less ones at that!)
Sydney says
Oh the indignity of having your nekkid butt and e-collar on the Internet. Digit is looking good though!
Mags says
Perhaps you should look into getting him a new fur su-it. How humiliating!
becky says
He is lookin’ good; he’s such a cute little guy. I’ll be he can’t wait till he doesn’t have to wear that collar.
robin says
must be feeling much better if he can summon such indignation at his current state – go didge!!!
Marji says
I’m so glad he’s looking better. When does he get to lose the collar? I bet he’s looking forward to THAT.
MonicaPDX says
Indignant and somewhat horrified, too… Oh yeah. You’re gonna pay.

Oh, poor little baboon butt! Well, it’ll grow back. He looks really good otherwise! Go Digit, Go Digit…

jodi says
He’s got that look, like, when this is all over and he’s got his strength back, he’s going to get you for this. And good.
susan says
You know that look he’s giving you? Oooooo are you gonna get it. Oh yeah, right when you least expect it. “I am cat! Hear me roar!”
Sarah says
That picture is precious. I’d love to see a close up of the cast.
janna says

Marie says
Just wondering, how does he sleep with that collar on him?
He looks good, shaved butt and all.
alison says
This is the greatest picture ever. Please send giant framed copy.
kitkatknit says
Digit is wearing assless chaps!!!
Coll says
I just read your “the cat came back” story.. and I am so very very happy for both you and Digit. ๐
