Now I don't want to blame any one dog in particular, but recently (and I am willing to accept that this just may be a coincidence) while we were dog-sitting Lilly for our friend Carla our cat Moushi's tail got mysteriously broken. The vet told me it looked like the result of a bite and he wanted to amputate the thing down to a stub as he thought it would look prettier. I informed him I preferred to think of Moushi's comfort and balance rather than worry about my social status reflected through the cuteness of my cat's tail. Luckily for Moushi (aka "Moushi-Mout-Mout") my persistence paid off, and he ended up only loosing 1/3 of his tail and has everything bandaged up nicely like this:






And then there's Lilly:

Well OK, so she doesn't look exactly like that, but you get the picture.

Poor kitty...
Updates, updates! I love the updates!
I find something dubious about this posting, perhaps reflecting unfairly on Lilly. Wasn't there a cat in Italy -- Pee-Pee something -- who also had a serious tail mishap that was blamed on an outsider? As I recall it damn near killed him. So could there be a serial tail-cracker stalking the Doeff-MacMillin household? Or might he or she even be PART of the Doeff-MacMillin household? In any event, I would tell Pousse to watch her ass.
