So the cat broken another bone. Actually, the same bone. Apparently the metal bar put in place after the last time was being a bit too inflexible and putting pressure on the bone with each jump. Time gave way to pressure and *snap*, break #2.

So the cat has had surgery again, the plate removed, and a new “fixation” put on for the new break. This one’s external so it’s non-permanent. But it’ll be another 6 weeks or so of kitty hell. There were considerations for a amputation so the cat is lucky, I guess.

Here in the picture I took Quark to the vet for a visit. He was confused. And back at home again, he’s once again acting like I must never ever leave his side. Apparently this is how he freaks out with the other one missing. Perhaps afraid I’m going to make him leave too if he misbehaves? He’s never purred so much ever.
