Our precious kitty Topaz was apparently hit by a car a few nights ago. She was missing for 24 hrs. and when she returned, she was dragging one leg and had lacerations on the other. Once inside, she hid until morning, and this photo was taken when we finally found her well camouflaged in the fiesta closet....
Topaz after medical intervention. She will be a three-legged cat for a while. One leg is taped to her body to immobilize it so that her dislocated hip can resettle in it's ball-joint and eventually the pin holding it in can be removed. Topaz is not a very jovial soul to begin with and this convalescence will probably be very tough on her and on her relationship with us humans as she resents our force-feeding her medicine. Please pray for her and us. She has already suffered so very much in her short life it seems that she deserves some really quality time left for fun and love.
