I noticed a post on the FDMB by a wonderful person named Sandy, who had a picture in her signature of her cat, Black Kitty, after some surgery. And he was wearing what looked like it might be the answer to the Busy-gnawing-Milk's-shoulders problem! So, I wrote to her and asked her where she'd gotten the wonderful protective garment, and she said she'd made it herself. And she was willing to make one for my little Milk!This weekend, the prototype arrived. And it's perfect! It was stretchy enough to put on him easily, it's tight enough to stay in place and protect those bare little shoulder blades that Busy seems to think are so tasty, and it actually looks like a "muscle shirt". Well, not that Milk has much in the way of muscles, but the idea is still there. He's still staggering around the house like it weighs 20 pounds - cats are such hypochondriacs. But I think that this may be the solution to the problem, and maybe it'll keep Milk warmer, too, this winter. He's spending most of his time napping in a kitty pi on a heated mat.
I'm thrilled! and grateful! and about to decide what color kitty pi to send the gorgeous Black Kitty in thanks!
