Of the three cats, Fudge always has the sorriest sight when she isn't well. She was all doped-up when we picked her up last evening after spending a night at the vet. She was also visibly uncomfortable with the cone around her head and was extremely quiet throughout the ride home.
The moment she got home, Donut was the first to fuss about her as Andy looked on, more out of curiosity than concern I think, before leaving Fudge to her own sorry state. It was, however, quite heart-warming to see Donut kept vigil over her throughout the night. What a pair! He is never too far away from her. She squeaks and he responds. She walks and he follows. She tumbles over, he sits up almost immediately, while both Silver Bullet and me cackle our guts out. Sounds mean, I know...but seeing her tumble over can be quite a comical sight!
Her sorry state of being, coupled with small squeaks rather than her usual loud meows and her omnipresent dopey eyes are enough to make my heart and knees crumble. At the same time, I can't help but laugh at her current clutzyness.It makes me forget for a while that she can be quite the terror. Hopefully, she'll be calmer after this.

What is the cone for?! Fudge seems to be really irked by it.. :D :P
The cone is to prevent her from licking her wound and cats, being cats, the can't leave the bandages alone. She is definitely not too happy, but then again.she's also quite the drama queen... ;)
