Ditto to all you make a stressful time humorous and that helps you & I hope the Warden! I still think your a hero! You were just a little unprepared hero;) We all learn as we go!

Purrkins did the same thing on his release he was all over the house up and down the human staircases he inspected every inch of the house. We were terrified he was not.

We had time to plan before our surgery and padded our floors with exercise mats and got him steps to his favorite spots. We wanted Purrkins to be able to do everything he was used to on 4 on 3 safely less worry for us pawents too!

I didn’t move any of use favorite spots but added stairs for him to get up and down safely. Stairs to our bed to the sofa to his window seats. We rearranged furniture and moved things closer together. Added some rugs & rug runners for traction .

We lost a 4 legged cat from a fall off our kitchen table. Compound fracture he was not a candidate for surgery. So going into this with Purrkins (front leg amp) we were doing the better safe then sorry route. I will always suggest steps to any 3 legged animal & four as they age. Life experiences change a person!

We only have 3 legs now we have to protect those legs & think long term the one leg whichever it is will still be taking more of a load. The less load to that leg the better .

Purrkins uses all of his steps he did as soon as we put them out and his quad brother uses them to. It all depends on where Raven loves to go and hung out before . Provide a safer way up and down for her in whatever way you can.

The rugs we added because Purrkins was slipping nothing major but enough to see we should address it and we did and he follows the rugs and his confidence excelled even further.  Purrkins doesn't act like he has 3 legs he is not disabled but differently abled  🙄

If anyone has use for an x-small VetGood recovery suit, let me know.  Never worn, never washed.  It is a freebie to anyone who agrees to pass it along to other tripawd members once finished with it.    

 Exactly what I expected! That's why I wanted a video. It did seem like a good idea, but then Raven is a cat....

I think the next person who takes you up on your kind offer of the recovery suit could also make a video when dressing their cat. Hopefully there won't be too much blood.

I'm happy to hear Raven is got a pass to survey her house and make sure everything is in order. I put cardboard boxes and chairs out for Mona and she chose to use them when she realized it was easier on her body to climb down than take flying leaps like she used to. She doesn't care for foot stools or steps. I think they don't work well for her because she has short legs. She seems to like banker boxes the best. You'll find what Raven prefers.

Thanks for the great story of attempting to dress Raven. Raven, you'll be coneless soon and free to live life on your terms.
