Poor Boots- Part 2

As you will recall...Boots is the cat that adopted us a couple months ago. After the new year, we discovered that Boots had an abscess on her hip. Thanks to some good advice from friends with cats, we took her into the vet and got her on her way to feeling better (yes, Boots is a her). Unfortunately, this morning when I went to feed her, the abscess was back and it was a whole new definition of gross. I should have known something was up last night when she only ate a couple of bites of her Friday treat of chicken and tuna wet food. So this time, Dr. Kevin is going to keep her until Monday so he can flush it out a couple of times.
I don't usually consider myself an indoor cat person...but for some reason, I'm incredibly attached to this one. In many ways, her personality is more like a dog than a cat. I'm trying to convince Nick that she'd heal faster in the basement by the wood stove, but he's not on board quite yet. When I asked if we could let Boots be in the basement with the wood stove, he asked if we could let Pepper live on the deck. Obviously, negotiations will continue on this topic.
Poor Boots... feel better soon!
