Murderpaws is Okay!

Those of you who visited last week may have noticed her conspicuous absence.

She had a broken hip.

We aren’t quite sure when it happened. We suspect it was when she tried to recreate her second favorite scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark and ride her cat tree through a wall.

It is a common problem for Maine Coons. They are literally too big for their skeletons. This is perhaps a trade-off because their bodies are too small for all their heart.

She underwent successful surgery today, and will be coming home tomorrow. Many thanks to the teams at Fort Mitchell Veterinary Center and Medvet Cincinnati.

For extreme bravery in the car and for gallantry while being barked at, she’s been promoted to Lieutenant Commander.

She’s got a few weeks of recovery in front of her, and will be relying on her sister to manage the shop until her return.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. We’ll have the shop open when we can, but family takes priority.

This week we will be open Saturday (5/24) and Sunday (5/25) from 12-4pm. We will be closed Monday in honor of Memorial Day.
