My Bboy Midnight

This is my porch cat who's been in for nearly a year. He got hit, they think by a bike (or scooter) almost a year ago. He had a nasty cut and mangled foot. They were talking amputation. He had snapped tendons. They were barely able to stitch him shut after removing debris, fur, and dead tissue. It took over 6 weeks for the cut to close. I kept telling him just a little longer and he could go back out. Lies bc his leg atrophied. Permanent lies bc his foot was apparently also shattered and it didn't heal right. It's always difficult to explain the way his leg sits funny and kind of twisted, but I was able to catch it today. He still tries to get out and I feel bad he can never go running around here again! He had so much fun catching mice outside. He's also all fat now, he was about 8-8.5 lbs last summer and around 9-10 in winter. I have no clue now, just big ol belly bc he doesn't have to wait for me or hunt anymore, just get down and walk a few ft to his bowl!My Bboy Midnight

      Thank you. He has a slight limp now that's more obvious if he's hurrying & 2 claws he can't retract. He's otherwise ok, just tries to slip past me or cries at the door sometimes. He almost became friends with the little one while she was in heat, I'll see if they still get along when she's back to normal. The big girls mostly peacefully ignore him, which he prefers. He'd be happier as the only cat, but that isn't going to happen! Lol

    Aww sweet cat! A door slammed on our cat's tail and we had to amputate part of it. She always looked a little funny after that.

    Aw, that's awesome that you did so much for him. Sorry, though, that it didn't work as well as it could've.

      His name is Midnight. He'll be inside a year at the end of the month, besides 2 escapes 22 hours each after 2 vet visits, when he still had a cast on. He has a scar, a little limp, and can't retract 2 claws but he walks & runs & jumps just fine. He has a big belly now. He still tries to slip past me or cries at the door sometimes but he has mostly accepted being indoors & tried to make friends with my little cat when she was in heat. But she's back to normal so she's back to not liking him. My other 2 girls accept that he's there & leave him alone. He's ok, I just don't know if he's fast enough to go back outside so I'm keeping him in for good. Thank you!

      He's healed up enough to run around in here and jump and everything just fine but I don't trust putting him back outside. He has 2 claws that never retract, a scar, his leg looks a little funny and has a tiny bit of a limp. But he's otherwise ok. Getting fat lol
