He came in at 11pm last night with some intestines protruding from a wound
in his side.
I panicked so much that I could hardly speak to the vet on the phone, I
couldn't seem to control my breathing.

I rushed him to the surgery where he underwent an emergency operation. The
vet rang me during the night to say he'd survived the op but he's had to
open up a large incision down the middle of his tummy as well, to check for
internal damage, which there wasn't and also so his abdominal cavity could
be flushed out.

It's not clear how it happened. I thought he might have been attacked but
the vet thinks it is more likely that he fell somehow onto something sharp.
I phoned early this morning and the nurse's notes say he is "bright and
alert." I'm expecting a call from the vet any time so I'll know more when
I've spoken to him.
There is potential for peritonitis so please purr and pray for his recovery.
I'm sick with worry. The house is so empty without him.

Purrs for speedy recovery!!
