Dewclawing Spicey

I took Spicey to TED for her dewclaw issue, and while waiting in the examination room, she looked so wide-eyed and plaintive, that I took gathered her out of her carrier, and planted her on my lap. She's not exactly a lap cat, of course, but she buried her little harlequin face in my armpit for a minute. Then she seemed to decide that she wanted her explore her new surroundings, and tried to make off. The vet said that despite its impressive shape and size, the ingrown claw wasn't causing much damage, and sent her home with a simple claw trim and a shot of antibiotics. When she got home, boy was she mad! Spicey avoided me for hours, and snapped at me when I tried to look at her newly trimmed paw. It occurred to me later that I should have asked for the overgrown claw as a keepsake. She seems to have forgiven me now, and will even come up to me if I call her. She's been bopping Buster on the head every time he comes up to sniff her though, so she must still be a little steamed. But I notice she's slapping him with her right paw, so it must be feeling all right. Great news. Kitty used to slap Boyfie upside the head regularly with no excuse apart from being grumpy. He took it well and only once hit her back. I'd have done it before if I was him, tbh, but he was very patient with her. She was always a bad tempered cat,but she led him to me and so I guess he got used to her, as I did. |
