Another Kitty Update So little miss Ripley (previously 1, previously 2) rejoined the feral colony today after one last application of eye meds. She's been in a crate for four weeks, recovering from a bite to the head that left two face punctures and an eye puncture.→[More:]


As of this morning, the eye still doesn't look normal, but it's a lot closer! We didn't know if it would ever be this good again; when the eye was opened back up after two weeks, it was opaque and milky, with a bulge where it was punctured. The bulge is gone, it's getting translucent and yellow, and she can see out of it at least a little. You can even tell there's a pupil under there. We are quite glad it's improved so much.

After a month in solitary confinement, she probably never wants to see us again. But she's fat and out of shape from being locked up, and her eye is probably playing tricks on her. So she's not likely to be able to feed herself by hunting; we are pretty sure she'll show up sometime in the next few days looking for kibble. I'm sure her family will be happy to see her again.
