Patriotic Pause (Paws?)

Wima is ready for the Memorial Day weekend. She had her leg cast changed this past Monday, May 22nd, and rather than her usual shocking pink, we asked the vet if they had red or blue to be patriotic. They were apologetic that they did not, but this is what they came up with.

They did find a bit of dark blue and accented it with white. Then the staff lovingly drew each of those itty bitty red stars on by hand.

Wima has had her cast changed at least every two weeks since she broke her leg February 7th. One time she got stuck under the bed and partially pulled the cast down and out of position. This exploit required her to be recast before expiration of the two-week interval. On June 5th, one day shy of 17 weeks, she is scheduled to have it x-rayed again. Hopefully then the cast can be removed. We were cautioned that she will be stiff and may need physical therapy afterward. I have no idea what form PT takes for an 18 year old cat. Sigh ...
