December 2010 The Ugly

December has been an interesting month. Most of the drama has been centered around Bubba Perves, the cat. First, his cat flap was installed. He learned to use it very quickly and he really thought he was the King. Then, the drama increased. He developed a hematoma of the ear. We tried treating him at home with semi-weekly visits to the Vet. This course of action was a total failure. It was finally decided that he needed to be admitted to the vet facilities. He stayed for two weeks. He was very glad to be released after this ordeal. You see he was abandoned by his first owner and was found by a real estate agent. He had been alone in the house for an unknown amount of time and had no food or water left. The agent took him to the vet, where he spent months sitting in a cage at the Vet clinic waiting to be adopted. Since then he has had abandonment issues. The trauma to his ear has left it disfigured. Here are the before and after pictures.
