Nysse got badly hurt<\/a>, probably by a car. He underwent surgery and was on cage rest for many weeks. But his bones mended and he recovered. A few months later he was moving like normal, and was not at all inclined to take it easy like the vet thought he should.<\/p>\n(If you’re a pet owner, do make sure to get insurance for them. I don’t even want to think about the decisions we’d have had to make if Nysse was uninsured.)<\/p>\n
For months after that he was very scared of loud, rumbly car engines, and it took a while before he was fully comfortable walking around outside. It also took a surprisingly long time for all his fur to grow back. Even half a year later when, at a glance, the shaved area looked normal and furry again, it still didn’t have the same fullness and sheen as the rest of his body. Now, though, you can’t see any sign of it.<\/p>\n
Nysse is back to enjoying his life as a cat. Chasing small critters, begging for food, occasionally asking for cuddles, and sleeping on every possible surface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
