The Cat Came Back (not for those with a weak stomach)

Sheba is finally home! For those of you who don't know, a few days before Neil was born Sheba (our cat we have had since we first married) got attacked/skinned alive. Literally half of her skin was peeled off and had to be resown.  The problem was there wasn't adequate blood supply to the huge area and the skin kept dying and that's why she had to stay so long. She actually came home on Friday with a quarter size wound on her side and a huge sewn up place underneath. Once she was free to roam about our house again however she ripped the sewn place completely open, not something you want to have with a toddler running around the house.  So she went back and this time she got staples and stitches, poor thing looks like a barbed-wire fence. Surprisingly though she has been in great spirits and is back to her old self.  The only issues are our other cat Sandy, and Camden.  Camden thinks she can rough-house with Sheba like she does Sandy and I have to keep reminding her that Sheba has boo boo and we have to be gentle with her for a while.  Sandy apparently got used to being the only house pet and is very territorial right now, I'm sure in a few weeks they will be back to their usual selves though.  Below are pictures of her good side and her bad side. When you look at her from the right she looks completely normal, it's just the left side and her stomach that look so bad.


My Sweet Cat!
