It’s been 3 days since the antibiotic shot and Melbcat is still sore :( I’ve given her medicine and cuddles which seem to have helped. The vet says to call back Monday if she’s not feeling better.

I’m still fighting urges to kidnap the black cat. I do think he’s possibly someone’s neglected free range pet though, as there was a parted line in his neck fur where a collar used to be and his fur wasn’t patchy or sparse (as happens when a cat is very malnourished).

I’m hoping that the weird protrusion I felt in his upper back that made me worry about his spine was a microchip. 🤞 I’ll be watching him and trying to get a better look over to see if he stays healthy or something indicates he does need help.

Flying Spaghetti Monster help me if he belongs to the crazy arsehole neighbour and I’m forced to intervene 🫩
