Default Rocky needs purrs

Rocky usually comes in about 9. About once a week, when the weather is
nice, he stays out all night. So, I wasn't really worried when Rocky
didn't show up this evening. When the late news came on they forecast
rain overnight and tomorrow, so I looked out and sure enough the
ground was wet. I went out and looked around a little, and called. I
didn't see him, so just figured he had found a dry spot to spent the
night and would be hear in the morning.

About a half hour later I looked out the patio door and saw him
dragging himself home. I don't know how he hurt himself, there isn't a
mark on him, but his back feet are cold to the touch and he has no
control over them. I tried pinching him and he doesn't seem to feel
anything from about 2 inches in front of his tail. I'm afraid he must
have a serious back injury.

The good thing is that he doesn't to have any pain. I laid down on the
floor and poked and prodded him, and then scritched him for awhile. He
actually purred a little before he fell asleep. So, I'll be sitting up
with him tonight, waiting for TED to open up in the morning. I'll post
an update when I get some news from TED, but until then about all I
can do is sit with him - and of course ask for some purrs.

This is one of those times when I truely wish we had a 24 hour TED.
The good thing is that this is Monday. TED care is almost impossible
to get from noon Saturday to Monday morning.

Steve Touchstone,


Steve, there is a 24-hour vet in the city if Rocky needs to go tonight. It is
on the N. side of 74th St. next to Western..They are real nice up there and if
you want to call and just talk to them, they're very friendly and try to help
you with information. Their number is 405-631-7828.
If he's not in pain I know you will probably wait till tomorrow though. We
will *all* be purring for him and waiting for some news. I am so sorry he got
hurt. They told me once that the way to tell if a cat has been hit by a car is
if his claws look shredded.
