Molly is hurting

My poor little girl. Yesterday my grandson pointed out that she had a sore
or wound on her lower lip. She spent almost all day napping on the foot of
my bed. I there napping too, so wasn't sure if she was feeling bad or just
keeping me company. I'd guess a little of both. The flame point who is
supposed to live across the street now has been pretty pushy so I'm
guessing her lip got into the middle of one of their stand-offs.

So when my daughter was here last night, I help Molly and she checked out
the lip. Its an abscess. She was able to drain it and we medicated it.
But Molly says that hurt a lot. Poor thing is so borderline with loving us
that I hate to put her through that.

My daughter said it really doesn't look too bad. We'll clean it again
tonight and then it should be OK. Meantime, Molly hasn't been as
comfortable with me today. But she has rubbed against my feet a few times.
I know an abscess usually stops hurting once its drained, but draining it
hurt a lot, so I'm not so sure she will give us credit for making it
better.

Meantime I've got to get Charlie to stop encouraging the cat formerly known
as Balls to hang out over here. 'His' people are usually at work and he
likes company as well as the kibble in our garage.

Purrs for Molly, and for you.

Poor girl - purrs for her lip. (I guess today is a "purr for sore lips"
day: Molly, Marina - anyone else? )

And you probably won't even be appreciated for helping her get better!

Wait - didn't you say the other day that it would be OK for him to come
over to your place, now that he's been snipped?

That I did. And he is just so sweet and loving and any time anyone is
outside he's there wanting picked up and cuddled. This is definitely a
stray and not a feral cat. Our poor yard guy was trying to do the lawn
while playing with Kayla and carrying this cat around in one arm at the
same time. Honestly, I'd pay him to come over and play with Kayla. She
just adores him.

But I have to try to draw the line if he's going to fight with Molly. This
is the first injury of the sort I ever remember her having. She isn't
normally a fighter.

Then again she IS a killer and he may not be responsible. Some of her prey
may have tried to fight back.


I do hope everyone can be friends, or at least respect the usual cat
détente around here.

purrs it works out, Lee

I hope so! He sounds like he'd be a lot of fun for you, and you and
your clan would certainly be great for him.
