The Cat Thread

My darling piece of fur (formerly known as Princess Elizabeth, now named Celeste or 天天) came home from the vets on Wednesday. She was surprisingly brave that day and explored a little bit but has since spent most of the time under the bed. The vet said to keep her cone on for a day or two, but by day 5 I still hadn't managed to get close to her to do it, and she's been clunking about the place and getting food stuck in the cone, poor thing. So yesterday we lured her out from under the bed, then trapped her in the living room, at which point she realised she was trapped and started ricocheting about the room (including slamming into a glass door...) until finally I caught her and had to use all four limbs in some sort of wrestling pose to hold her still while my boyfriend got her cone off. Thankfully no one got bitten (this time) but the poor cat is once again traumatised and she is now hiding under the sofa (previously an unattainable hiding place due to the cone). She's very strong for a 2.9kg cat!
