So, update on the kitty situation. he's... okay.
his side is healing up nicely, he's been given an antibiotic shot that'll last him two weeks, and basically we've been given plenty of painkillers for him (which mercifully he happily laps up??? which is a first), so our boy is gonna be okay, the swelling under his belly is more of an inflammation probably from him straining something when he was hyper after the first swelling burst on saturday (that was gross and terrifying but not dangerous)
