Update on Kitty
He's looking a little better this afternoon. He started to purr when I came in there, but stopped immediately... I think it might hurt to purr? But I looked at the wound and it seems to be starting to heal a little. He excreted a little, so that is a good sign.
A vet once told us (when we took Benny), "The body is very forgiving." I'm kinda counting on that. He has gotten up and into the litter box a couple times, though I think he hasn't been able to actually *squat* (it seems to hurt him to spread his legs, though as long as they are still, they seem to not hurt much).
Anyway, I have hope. I put a little food and a little water in a shallow dish in with him, close by, so he could actually eat/drink without having to get up, if he chooses.
