As my tribe don't like cat doors, one disadvantage of their outdoor enclosure is the open window leading to it. It will sometimes let in the occasional flying critter. I heard the cats galloping around the house and knew they were chasing something, but caught up with them just a half second too late. I was just in time to watch Blondie Rumpleteaser thump her paw down on the wasp. Needless to say, the wasp wasn't amused, and responded by stinging her right in the pad of the right front paw.
Poor thing, she's walking on it, even kneading with it, without the slightest sign of any pain. But it looks terrible. It is swollen to almost twice the size of her other front paw. If she starts acting ill, or if the swelling doesn't start going down soon, we're off to the vet. I called Dr Cathy and see said to watch her closely and come straight in if anything changes for the worse.
