After a four-day stay at Highland Pet Hospital last week, Alexis is on the mend after being de-clawed and "fixed." Her post-op orders were to do as little as possible for about a week after coming home... i.e. no quick movements, no hard playing, no jumping off high places, etc. Yes, my response to that was... HA HA HA!!! Just TRY and keep a kitten from doing those things... Especially when her best friend is a 2-1/2 year old silky terrier that she loves to pick on and play with and chase around. Or when her favorite place to jump up on (against our liking) is our dining room table (hardwood floors below it). Or when her preference is to move from bed to bed throughout the night, which requires jumping down off a couple of high beds onto hardwood floors.
Anyway... she seems to be doing OK, but we've been a little concerned how she's been favoring her front-left paw. I called the vet today and I'm taking her in on Wednesday morning to be checked. Hopefully she's OK and it's just some minor tenderness from the surgery.
Tumnus has actually been behaving very well since Alexis came home. He's made a few attempts at chasing her, but we stopped that pretty quickly. I think he realizes she's not 100% and has kept his distance. Especially since she hasn't been picking on him like she usually does. Of course, that hasn't stopped him from helping her keep her ears clean (GROSS!!!!)
