Monty's had a rough couple of weeks.
On Monday, he went to the vets for his castration and microchipping. He refused to get into his cat carrier and we ended up being 10 minutes late for his appointment because of this! Me and mum both got slightly teary as we left him there. I was worried about him constantly all day and was relieved when the vet's rang to say he was ok and i could pick him up.
Whilst picking him up we were told that he wouldn't eat much food and and to be prepared for him to sleep most of the day... That didn't happen at all. Five lots of food later and he still wasn't showing any signs of being sleepy. In fact, you wouldn't know he'd even had a minor operation if it wasn't for his patch of shaven fur on his paw.
Wednesday was the worst day of my life so far. Monty got his hind leg caught in the hinge of the washing machine door after falling from the counter. Of course I got his paw out straight away and rushed him over to the vets. He's ok - it was just a bruise...thank goodness...He got given some pain medication and he slept it off. But he's shaved 40 years off my life.
I have never been so scared/worried/upset in my life. He scratched me pretty deeply as I freed him but I barely noticed I was bleeding. I just cared about him.
I'm unbelieveably relieved and glad that he's ok but I'm still pretty shaken up - even now. It was the sound of his scream...I've never heard anything like it in my life...it will haunt me...
To finish on a happier (and slightly materialistic) note, Monty's now the proud owner of a new three tiered scratch post and a new comfy cat bed. He loves playing with his scratch post and it's a joy to watch him play.
