Tater Tot is the newest member of our feline family. He appeared in early October and was about a year old. The boy had been abandoned or left his home voluntarily we think. He had an ugly red growth on one of his toes that would periodically bleed. I could not figure out why it would never heal.

On December 30, txrad and I were drinking tequila and txrad let Tater Tot come in the house permanently. Tater Tot slept in the bed with me all night.

The next morning there was blood on my sheets and bloody track marks in the bathroom. Another vet visit was on the agenda. I got him to the vet the next morning, New Year's Eve.
It turns out, Tater Tot's toe claw had somehow gotten damaged or torn off and a bone had actually broken. I really wish we'd taken him to the vet weeks earlier but we didn't know. The boy got the rest of his toe amputated and had to wear a purple sock on his foot for the next few days which was quite a funny sight actually.



But he's fine now and a very happy member of our family. He's a brat though. He loves to chase the girls out of the litter box and spends his days napping on his daddy's desk while daddy tries to work.
