He doesn’t enjoy wearing the boot, and he doesn’t enjoy going out on a leash, but he also can’t be let out without it because it immediately leads to him losing the boot and licking his toe again.

He is depressed and frustrated. Doesn’t enjoy life as much as he usually does, and spends more time sleeping than usual.

He takes out his frustration on the cat tree and on various cardboard boxes, which he attacks with claw and fang.
