You think you're having a bad day?

Strawberry finally got her second ear operation.  She's a pretty miserable little cat at the moment, snuffling and wheezing her disapproval at her sorry lot, but she's very happy to be "home".  This poor little cat has had a pretty rough go of it in life; I hope she eventually gets adopted out to good people.


This picture was taken a few minutes after she got home, and she's still pretty dopey from the anaesthetic.  Her unfocused expression seems to say, "What just happened?"


If I had to sum up this girl in one word I'd call her spirited.  Even with her brain half-baked on meds, and wearing a big awkward cone which caused her to walk into every stationary object in the room - including the floor - at least once, she still tried to get back into her regular routine.  Here she gamely tries to play with her second-favourite toy.  Her favourite toy is the laser pointer, but we didn't want to push her that hard when she was still getting around with such difficulty.

(It was nice to see such unanimity in yesterday's poll. =)

I've seen similar behaviour with cats who've had a bag or something placed over their eyes. The reaction/instinct seems to be to walk backwards, bobbing the head side to side - I think the strategy is that eventually they'll find a narrow space their body can fit through, but whatever's on their head can't, so it'll get pulled off.
