Not wanting to be outdone by the previous felines owned by me, Ramone decided to go and get clipped by a car. At first I thought he tried to catch something that got the better end of the fight, scratches, "bit" tongue, bloody chin...
But after I took him to the vet, he ends up with a broken upper and lower jaw causing his eye to look retarded, his top canines are both broken (one got filled, the other got removed) the tip of his tongue is somewhere else, a chunk of flesh got ripped off his chin, and while taking blood they found minor liver trauma. So I said hell, can you neuter him too?
The vet called at about 3:00 this afternoon to say Ramone was doing good and he was a great cat to work with. Everything went well, he basically has braces and an expander right now wiring each of his jaws back together... He also said that he is very friendly and happy and was hanging out in his office talking to him, purring and getting pet. "A very nice cat" he says. He is spending the night there to get another antibiotic shot tomorrow, than he comes home.
Let's just leave it at that and not ask how much this is going to cost.

Daryl was kind enough to leave out the fact that the incident happened in my neighborhood while I was Ramone's caregiver, but I will go ahead and 'fess up. The cat somehow managed to haul his battered self up onto Max's bunk bed, then when I sent Max to his bed for quarrelling he climbed up and said, "I don't really want to sit in my bed because Ramone is messy."
