This is where my story begins: Tales Of A Floppy Ear Kitty

It's been a few days since we talked about the case of the cauliflower kitty. The more I thought about it the more I just felt really uneasy about leaving her ear be. I did more research on the web and talked to another vet in the area and I decided to trust my instinct and have her ear fixed. I felt if I didn't do anything about it then it would probably cause more infections in the future and ultimetly costing me more money in the long run. So I called my parents and asked to borrow some money which they very graciously did. They understand my love for this cat and also the importance of being responsible pet owners. They had a dog with mutliple health problems and always did what they could for her.

So I took her in and I have to say that I love the place where I take my cats!! They are so kind and helpful. Plus I feel they are very reasonably priced. So they put her under and drained her ear of all the blood. 2 hours and a few stitches later she got to come home. I now have the unfortunate task of keeping her ear clean and free of scabs. I have to attempt to wrap her in a towel and apply wet pads to her ear to loosen the scabs

Let me tell you she does NOT enjoy this process. And it's sometimes hard to believe just how strong cats are. Most of the time we are all over the house trying to get this done. There is alot of screaming, squirming and down right fighting going on.

I am also all over the house trying to get a picture of her. She doesn't care because she is trying her darndest to ignore me

Do you mind? I am trying to wash that experience off of me!!

She has about 6 stitches. And the 6 holes are what I have to keep scab free so it will drain properly

I think her ear will still be a bit disfigured. Her little floppy ear kind of reminds of an cartoon rabbit. And this picture of her totally shows how very pissed off she is. She is now just starting to come out of hiding. She is starting to eat more and actually bath herself. She may hate me doing this to her but she usually quickly forgives me and goes back to being my shadow
