Alex The Prisoner Cat
Well, this weekend was nice but then on Monday we had some bad news. On Saturday our most beautiful kitty, Alex, inexplicably and uncharacteristically attacked one of our neighbors. The neighbor has been very nice about it, but the scratches were somewhat deep and she had to go to the ER.
Alex is in quarantine for observation for 10 days at a local veterinarian's office. Here's hoping he was just having a bad day - maybe a kitty cold making him grouchy or something.
The county also gave us a citation for the attack - very reluctantly, according to my wife, who said the officer was very nice about it and only finally wrote the citation because the attack occurred on the neighbor's property, not ours. Court date is in September but we'll probably wind up paying a fine before then and waiving a court appearance.
Here is a picture of Alex doing his hugging thing. He's the only cat I've ever had who gives hugs like this.
Come home soon, buddy.
