Speaking of cats who need you showing up...

Through a long and boring sequence of events, this former stray came into my care and is now living in my bathroom recovering from probably being hit by a car. He is pretty skinny and has pelvic fractures which should heal with rest, but Squash is going in for a session on the underwater treadmill tomorrow and hopefully I can snag one of the surgeons at the facility to peek at his x-rays and make sure nothing more is needed.

I made him a little fort out of Squash's puppy kennel and between his injuries and his pain meds he pretty much eats, sleeps, heals, and flirts when you come in to talk to him. He's a total sweetheart. It was my intention to keep him "just until" he's recovered but since I'm posting pictures AND I named him I think he's probably here to stay.

So, this is Pancake.

What a handsome boy! I'm so glad that he found his way to you and that you were willing to help him. I bet he's going to be a great addition to your family.

Oh yes, you named him therefore he is yours!

Thanks, everyone! He is a sweetheart for sure. The surgeon did happen to be around this morning at the facility where Squash does the treadmill, and he said the fractures are probably a month or so old and are already starting to heal at this point. He doesn't need any surgery or anything, just continued rest. We have to watch him for any problems pooping as his pelvis continues to heal but other than that he should be fine. :)

That's great that he's healing well and should be fine. I love his little goatee!

Thank you all!

My husband and I talked about it tonight and Pancake will officially be staying with us for good. He celebrated by chirping and rubbing his face all over my leg. (But you can see how skinny he still is even after being here for a week eating as much as he wants. :( )
