Shaved Pussy Cat

GK He looks a little demented in this photo, our little million dollar stray Gray Kitty. But he actually puts himself in this position because he likes to have his belly scratched. Yes, his belly is shaved. It's shaved because he had to have an ultrasound. He had to have an ultrasound because his urethra was blocked. It's not a good thing for a cat to have a blocked urethra, so he had to have a catheter and that meant an emergency vet visit and an overnight stay at the animal hospital. So, yes, our little million dollar stray kitty is home now, getting his little shaved belly scratched. And yes, it feels weird. The shaving also revealed little tiny pink kitty nipples on his belly, which are hilarious to me for some reason.

Rosa, I don't post here very often...although I do read your blog a lot, but I'm wondering if you should re-name your post! I'm just thinking that it might get some traffic that you don't want....unless that is a goal!

Anyway, I'm not offended or anything, just saw the title this morning and went, "What?"

I hope your cat gets better soon!

Oh no, Helen! LOL! I did think about that, but then I thought that adding the "cat" to the end would keep the bad element away. I wonder. Maybe I'll add "I did! I did saw a puddy tat!" to it.

Anyway, thanks! Gray Kitty is healing up nicely, too.

Oh poor kitty! We have two and have spent so much money on procedures and meds.

Hi, Lori! Those darn cats are worth every penny though, no? It's hard not to think about the fact that we just spent several months rent on a cat's urethra, but I would do it all again!
