Daddy the Cat has a broken foot.
This is him several years ago. It's the same foot.



At least I think it's broken. Mrs. V., in her current state, even, is taking him to the vet today because I am at work and can't leave. God dammit!

This is the same cat who ripped the shit out of my hand on Sunday. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9617733

He is a major pain in the ass, but I adore him. We both do. Poor Daddy.

2. Aw. You're not having the best of times right now are you?
Is that the same hind paw he dug a hole in you with on Sunday? Maybe he twisted it a and damaged it again at the broken place. (Except I thought we were all supposed to be stronger at the broken places...) All the best to you, Mrs. V, and Daddy.

5. Meh
Hard times happen. I'm glad we can get through them with love and good humor.

I just hope Daddy will let me cuddle him tonight.

(I don't know which paw he gouged me with, but that could be, I guess.)

7. Aw, what a gorgeous cat!
And he looks (looked) decidedly pissed to have a cast on his foot.

I hope he feels better soon. :loveya:

I *have* to ask how you named him. I was always amused that Cesar what's-his-name, the Dog Whisperer, named his dog "Daddy." Now I see you have a cat named "Daddy," too!

No disrespect intended at all....but doesn't it feel...strange...to call him that? :rofl:

10. When we first moved to our home, we found a feral whom we named Patches
We took her in and she had kittens in our basement on 9/11/01. Three of the four kittens were tuxies. One of the two we kept turned out to have this amazing voice.

After a while, along came this adult tuxy. He didn't have exactly the same voice, but it seemed so odd that two cats would have special voices that we figured he must be those kittens' daddy. Hence the name.

Daddy actually has several names. Furry little bastard is the most commonly used. He's also called Sh'thay (actually spelled "shithead" -- it's from Lewis Black), furry little asshole, god dammit Daddy, furry little prick . . . you get the idea. Every now and then he gets "Damn you, Daddy sir!" (from Martin Short)

He's an asshole, but we love him.

13. Sh'thay!
Now that's gold. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, that's the cutest asshole I've seen in a long time (and I don't usually write that on the internet :evilgrin:).

Thanks for explaining. I'm glad it wasn't a Freud thing.

I hope kitty feels better soon. :hi:

8. Poor Daddy! And his sweet little bandaged footsie from way back...

I hope he doesn't have a break and might just be a sprain or something from the way he launched himself from your arms a few days ago.

All good vibes to you and Mrs. V and a speedy recovery to Daddy! :loveya:

15. The GOOD news, imo, is that Mrs. V. CAN take him to the vet!
Good luck to ALL!

16. Hey--I have a cat just like that!
She's a real hell monkey, but I adore her. Anyway, I hope your hell monkey recuperates quickly! He's a beautiful kitty.
