BonyAss

July 19, 2007

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……

Bonyass_2

Lala has noted that even his ass is somewhat less bony now!

Whee!

    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….

    You did answer the question I’ve always had… about whether the stripes were the hair or the skin.

    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. ๐Ÿ™
    *masseter muscle myositis, I think it’s called.

    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.

    I’m so glad he’s looking better. When does he get to lose the collar? I bet he’s looking forward to THAT.

    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.

    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.

    Just wondering, how does he sleep with that collar on him?
    He looks good, shaved butt and all.
