Mischievous kittens Grrrrrrrr.
2 of my cats had kittens about 3 days apart so there are 9 of them about 7 weeks old right now running around the house making a huge mess and destroying things. Yesterday I came home to find one of them stuck in the back of a chair. The spokes that make up the back are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom so the kitten somehow got between them slid down and got stuck. I took him out and put him on the floor and he dragged himself straight to the water bowl without using his back legs at all. So watched him for a couple minutes hoping maybe his legs were asleep from being stuck but he didn't move them at all so I took him to the vets. Turns out he fractured his pelvis in two places. Now I have to wait and see if he damaged his nerves for going to the bathroom before I decide whether to get a ridiculously expensive operation on a kitten I wasn't planning to keep or keep it in a small confined area for a couple weeks and hope it heals naturally!
