Stubby

On Thursday afternoon my daughter decided to give Oscar a hair cut. She found that out the hard way, as did Oscar, that cats aren't stuffed animals that can't be hurt. She got a hold of my scissors and cut 3 inches of his skin and fur off leaving the bone! The cat came racing down the stairs with his bone and blood hanging out and she was standing at the top holding the severed piece of tail saying "Mommy I cut kitten hair" like something out of a Child's Play movie!!! The poor cat had to have the bone and a couple of extra inches amputated so now his tail is only about 8 inches long. He is no longer identical to his brother. He is doing great though (300$ later) and is in good spirits and actually friendlier than ever for some reason. He is also getting noticably fatter than his brother...he weighs 12 lbs!! At 10 months old that' s alot...

The end of his tail looks weird because they had to shave it to operate. The vet said that his fur will grow completely back and it will look like a normal tail...just shorter!!!! Poor guy :(
