Luckily he gets lots and lots of TLC from Amber. Hang on in there... only 8 more days to go.

Yes he will sadly, they will all try and clean it for him and take his stitches out.. although he nearly managed that himself today, he GOT THE CONE OFF... twice... had to out it on much tighter... I am counting the days!!

Sorry Poseidon have only just been able to get on to find out how you have got on
{daughter & partner been here for weekend,early xmas with her nan & grandad}they have just left to get back to Shropshire so fired 'puter up straight away.Tell mum you will soon be bouncing back,she knows she has made the right decision for your own good but it still doesn't help at the moment,think she will soon be posting that you are a happy little boy but of course being male you will milk the "arrhs"as much as you can.Do you think in a day or two that perhaps mum could pop you into a cage & let some of your other friends come & visit,they wouldn't be able to hurt you & it might brighten you up to see your bestest mates,could even make you forget the cone for a little while.At least having Amber to support you must be some comfort.
Love to your furry friends that accompanied you on "that day".
More cuddles posted for you but a big hug for mum Debbie too,think she needs one as well ... x

Thanks, Reading that made me smile...


It was a bad day for him yesterday, he was going around and around in circles trying to get is cone off, he got it off twice but then he kept on doing it, all he wanted to do was wash!! It made me wince every time he did it as he always seemed to land on his stump..

Amber spent one more night on the floor, I think your cage idea is a good one, I am taking him to the vets today after work so fingers crossed she says its okay!! and then we will be cooking with gas! His wound is superb, even when he did manage to get his cone off and pull it a little..

Not many more days to go. phew!!

Debbie xx

Well he has his appetite back!!

He is now hoping around on it and seems fine, except for trying all the time to get his cone off

Fingers crossed the vet will let you remove the cone while you are around to keep an eye on him & just put it back when he is left,it is natural for him to want to get to his wound & we have found that mostly if an animal can do that then they don't bother so much with it anyway.So pleased he is eating better & I am sure once he is coneless so he can start adapting to three legs he will not look back.

Came home from work normally takes me 20 mins took me 45 mins.. Rushed in to be met with the lounge door open Poseidon in the hall and all the other cats in the lounge... thought the worst, went in to panic thinking OMG his leg would be now nicely ripped open all stitches removed, to find he was perfect... unlike my lounge which was trashed, won't be doing that again!!

Set off for the vets after a hour and a quarter drive to the vets in a terrible blizzard conditions, which made driving hellish!! we got him to the vets, temperature taken perfect,leg its self perfect,My nerves shot!! She gave me some liquid food for him full of calories as he has not eaten properly he polished off half a tin when we got home.

They gave him a shot of pain killer, and then he was put in a warm incubator while I sat down with the veterinarian and the receptionist with a cup of coffee!!

All warmed up headache tablet taken, back to brave the roads, just before I left got a sms from Amber to say the bus had crashed and could I come and pick her up!!! Stressed... again. lol

Picked her up, drove home.. we arrived home at 9pm - set off at 4:15..

Next appointment Monday fingers crossed it does not snow!! Cone will come off and all will be good! I will have 5 of my lads with me for their rabies shots and vaccinations ready for the shows, so hope it all goes well

Sorry Debbie had to have a little giggle,the above sounded as if it should be made into a "Carry On"movie,just very pleased that eventually you all made it safely home & no doubt the one least bothered by it all was Poseidon.....

Hi Debbie, I've been following little Poseidon's adventures with interest, isn't he doing splendidly, you must be so pleased, if a little stressd out! And a blizzard to top it all and make life that bit more 'interesting'! I hope you had a stiff glass of something when you got home, and lots of cuddles from your furries...xxx

Phew... it never rains but it pours doesn't it?
You must be knackered... I'm glad everything turned out OK in the end. And just a few more days with the collar for poor Poseidon.
