I feel like a horrible Kitty Mother today.
Tiggers was doing pretty good after the vet visit yesterday, had a nice dinner, couple of treats... around bedtime, she was looking so comfy in front of her cubby here on my desk, that I decided not to move her and take her to the bedroom. I left her there, with some food and treats near her.
In the morning she was on the couch. I went to feed her, and discovered a half inch patch of torn skin on the side of her tummy. Looks like she fell off the desk, and caught it's corner and it tore her skin as she was falling down. By the direction of it, it looks like she was falling down up-side down. I'm guessing that my other kitty confronted her to get to the food, and she had to get out of there in a hurry, and fell....
The tear is very shallow, it didn't go all the way through the skin, just chafed off the top part and took a chunk of fur out. It just looks ugly, and probably burns a bit, like a mild road rash or a rug burn might. It's not bruised... I checked her out all over and I don't see any other bruises or tender spots. Tigger mostly acts like it's not even there.
I on the other hand feel horrible. I should have taken her to the bed with me, and shouldn't have left the food behind her (so Bubba needs to go over her to stick his nose in it)... I didn't protect my litte baby kitty.... plus, after the vet visit yesterday, I lost a lot of hope.... and then on top of it all, the darn dog broke Tiggers food dish... I think I need a hug!
