We'll discuss options with the doc tomorrow. This is such a rare thing it makes sense to me to seek a facility that performs literally many hundreds of similar surgeries per year.

By the way, how did you teach your cat to box like that?

Agree that you should seek a facility that performs many similar surgeries.

Re: cat boxing, it's funny. My sister's cat actually does box like this. Whenever my sister grooms the cat, all she needs to do is hold the handful of hair in front of Lady Cocoa Chanel (cat name). Cocoa goes wild...she wants the hair! (Gross...she'd eat it. Yech!) Cocoa will get on her hind legs and "bat" (pow pow pow pow pow) my sister's hands to communicate that the hair should be dropped (so Cocoa can get it.) She'll also hiss (Cocoa, not my sister ).
