So I have no kid stories to relay, but I do have the tragic story of my kitty Tarzan's tail. Well, I don't actually KNOW the story. I wish I did. We came home yesterday, and my kitty was all ornery, and Trevor picked him up and he YOWLED. Then we realized he was in pain. His tail is all bent and crazy! I feel so bad! We aren't sure what to do, but I think we're going to take him to the vet. I called the vet, and they said that we can either have it amputated, or just let it heal funny. What do we do? URG. My poor Tarzan!
*UPDATE* We took him to the vet today - only $46! Hooray!! - and they gave him some pain meds. The doctor said he probably was bitten, but it's high enough he probably won't have to have his tail amputated. We just have to keep checking the end of his tail--if he can feel it, he's fine. If it goes numb, it could fall OFF. Wow. Now that he's on his meds, he is constantly licking his tail--I think because now it doesn't hurt too much to do it. Poor little guy. I think he's going to be ok.

I love that everyone is getting a blog!I love looking at them. It is so much fun. Sorry to hear about you cat. That really doesn't sound good.
I think you should amputate. What's cooler than a cat with no tail! Just kidding. Really. There is a cat in our neighborhood that has no tail and it's a bully! He's so mean. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it in a while. Maybe he finally got his.
Oh! P.S. If that's a picture of you guys "making out" then it's going to a long time before you get any babies. :)
