Little Jack got hurt this morning!
I heard him crying in the room and walked in to see him dangling
from only a toe pad that was caught in the top of Nugget's cage!
from only a toe pad that was caught in the top of Nugget's cage!
Aw...it was stuck and twisted from him trying to get loose.
I got him free but he ran and hid and I couldn't find him or entice him to
come out so I could see how badly hurt he was. Well he finally came out
12 hours later. His little paw is swollen and showing purple through the white fur,
but he's purring and rough housing with the big cats, so I guess he'll be ok.
Just what I needed...more stress. ha.
Oh dear; poor baby, you have to see him, yes sometimes is like you say;(
ReplyDeleteI was more worried when I couldn't tell if he was ok...but once he came out and was walking fine, it was better. :) I still don't know where he was hiding!
DeleteIs so little and still he doesmt know the.danger in the world lol
DeleteAwwwww...poor Jack...
ReplyDeleteat least he didn't get the bird!!!
He'll be fine...like you...
Just needs some down time...
and some good old TLC...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
yes, he'll be fine. Nugget is the rabbit...not the bird. ha. I'm never worried about anyone getting the rabbit...he's huge...not even in his cage. lol....
Deleteooooop! assumed he was a bird...do you have a bird?? of course you do!!!
DeleteWhat would a zoo be without a bird?? hahahaha
Have a great weekend...raining here...off to the cottage later
Cheers!
Linda :o)
They have a way of hiding until feeling safe. Jack is a beautiful cat...look at those eyes and whiskers. Was Nugget in the cage when it happened?
ReplyDeletehe was...I think they were chasing like they love to do with each other. But the cage door is removed since Nugget runs the house. I'm glad he is ok...I was thinking we'd be making a vet trip but I guess that isn't necessary. The big cats came in tonight (they are mostly outside) and he loves them...and that brought him out of hiding. :)
DeleteAw, poor little kitten, he looks so much like my Sammy, in fact Sammy will even lay like this.;) Did you know that cats also purr when they are in pain or scared, so if he will not better and the swelling will not go away you shoudl take him to the wet.;)
ReplyDeleteSorry for my absence, have been preoccupied with rl.;)) Have a great weekend,
xoxo
yes, I have heard that...even purr as they are dying! He's very playful, though and doesn't act like anything is wrong. Still swollen this morning, though.
DeleteHe's sooo cute!! Looks just like a sleepy baby. Bless him!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he sweet? He plays until he drops...just like a toddler. ha.
DeleteOh Jack!! Awwwww!! Poor Jack!! Me and Charlie send him tons of purrs and healing hugs and kitty kisses on his sweet little nose! Awwwww! Take care
ReplyDeletex
aw...thank you...I'll tell him Charlie sends toothless kisses. lol....
Deleteawww i a sorry...its rough...i am glad that he is playful that is a good sign...he will heal....
ReplyDeleteyeah, he'll be fine...just hated not being able to check him out for myself all day..then I had to leave for an auction without knowing. :(
DeleteAww...poor little guy! He looks so cute in the photo and it's so sweet that he loves the other cats...makes my heart melt!
ReplyDeleteOh, he just loves it when those bigger kitties come in to eat and play. He bounces around them and wrestles...they almost act annoyed. lol....
Deleteoh no! Poor little mite, accidents happen don't they, just like little children kittens seem to get them selves in some awkward fixes,
ReplyDeleteoh I know....such a strange thing to happen. I'm just glad I was home!
DeleteHe doesn't LOOK like he's hurting in the picture :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, he's quite comfy there in the mister's lap! :)
DeletePoor little Jack. Guess he isn't feeling quite so nimble today. :)
ReplyDeletelol....
DeleteHi dear I want to know.how.is Jack.....and you lol
ReplyDeleteJack seems fine...his foot is swollen but he's happy and running around. I'm exhausted. ha.
DeleteWell thanks God he is ok and you tryto rest dear:))
DeleteTake a nap dear:) lol
DeletePoor Jackie Boy!! Kittens find the craziest things to get caught in!!!! Silly little things! He is so precious!
ReplyDeleteSaw a litter of kittens at the Dairy Bar - I am wondering if their Momma is the scraggly, little Calico Momma to your first litter. SO cute! There are SIX of them...hope they do NOT make their way to YOUR house!
Haven't seen that momma since early spring right after she had a litter. I think a fox got her and the babies....she was coming many times a day to eat and then just disappeared. :(
Deletethey need to take those cats to be fixed! wonder why they don't do that??!
DeleteI bet Nugget isn't saying, "Poor Kitty"... I'm glad he's on the mend and playing and maybe he learned a lesson about curiosity and cats. :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeletehaha...oh, Nugget loves Jack...they play tag and chase...and Nugget is probably 4 times bigger than Jack!
DeleteKittens do have a way of getting into mischief! I'm glad Jack is OK, poor little fellow.
ReplyDeleteme, too....what drama! ha.
DeleteGlad he is okay
ReplyDeleteMust have made for a stressful day
They can get stuck almost anywhere
I'm sure he was hiding some place others wouldn't dare
That is why he was out of sight
Causing you a fright
It was a stressful day!
DeleteAnd I had to leave for an auction and not stay
to see how he was
so I told the sitter to keep an eye out just because
and then called the mister, too
to check when he came home when work was through.
I'm just glad I was home when he got stuck
if he was alone all day that would have really sucked.
lol.....
Yeah poor guy wouldn't know what to do
DeleteIf you weren't there in your zoo
But thankfully all is well
Maybe you should get him a little collar with a bell
Poor little guy. I know how you feel. I have a little dog & she is my "baby". I feel so bad if something happens to her. Glad you didn't have to take him to the vet.
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you...I'm so glad, too! His paw is swollen today but he acts just fine! :)
DeleteOh poor baby. Lucky you were there to help him.
ReplyDeleteThat must have hurt .
Little stinkers always getting themselves into trouble. lol
I know....just proves that saying "Curiosity killed the cat!" ha.
