Send purr vibes

The new cat had surgery today and came home in a very upsetting condition, in pain and growling (though never biting) and unable to walk. It hurts to love an animal, sometimes.

He fell down and hurt himself badly about a month ago, and it turns out he has some bizarre condition where his leg bones where they enter his hip joints just, um, crumbled away. The vet says he can live a normal housecat life, but he'll never be a jumper again.

He's shaved as if he were wearing a pair of pink leather pants. This will probably be funny tomorrow.
