Latest Witter Update

Witter is still with us, contrary to my rather gloomy previous report. Abita and I had a birthday party for him the night after that post, and he ate a bit of his cake (a blueberry muffin top frosted with yogurt) and he ate even more the next night. By the weekend, he was eating just like old times.

I'm beginning to think he just wanted two birthday parties.

His birthday party on the twenty-first:

His lump--picture taken during his birthday party on the twenty-seventh:

This actually looks a little worse than it is. Dr. K shaved away hair from the lump surface, where he had been scratching it bloody, so that we could apply an ointment to the skin. Stuff that looks like dried stuff is dried ointment. There is a bare spot in the middle where some of his skin has flaked off, though. He still scratches at it frequently; I can only imagine how much it must itch to have your skin stretched unnaturally like that.
