Our yellow tabby cat, Simba, had been missing for 2 long weeks. He was found Thanksgiving Day by a wonderful neighbor who took him to the emergency vet because his left hip/leg was dangling. X-Rays the next day verified that his femur is broken, and several bones are fractured. Luckily, there are no internal organs damaged, so its just the leg that needs to be rebuilt. Another wonderful neighbor picked him up Saturday (we were in Utopia for the holiday) and set him up in our bathroom so he couldn't run around the house and do more damage to his leg. Chris and Dallas went home Saturday, so they kept him on his pain meds. He is in pretty good spirits considering what he has probably been through! He wants constant attention, and is very vocal about getting someone to visit him. Simba loves to lay in the middle of the living room, so we let him flop there when we are watching TV. The dogs seem to be aware that he is hurt; they lick him and are very gentle! So our Christmas present to each other is a new leg for Simba!
