We noticed today that Bijou has hurt both his front paws. The outer claw on each paw has been bleeding a bit and they look sore. There is a small cut on one of them. Jennifer is going to take him to our vet tomorrow to have them look at it. Mika was licking his paws this afternoon when they were curled up together in the rocking chair - I guess she knows he has sore feet. John says he's sure it's really nothing, but Jen and I want to make sure so she is taking him in tomorrow.

Aw, poor Bijou
. He's so lucky to have a sweet and caring sister (as well as a loving human family). I can imagine he's in some pain right now. Keeping my fingers crossed that the vet can fix whatever is wrong quickly

Thanks folks. Maybe Jen and I are over-reacting and it's nothing, but I'd prefer to be safe than sorry. He's our baby boy.

There is no such thing as overreacting when comes to Bijou. I hope it goes well tomorrow with the vet and it is something minor.

Poor little Bijou!
It may just be the change of seasons and the cold, dry air has his little kitty cuticles a bit cracked--I know my skin is super dry right about now, so I'm sure in Canada it's even worse.
Anyway, keep us all posted and best of luck!

No way are you over reacting, I think we'd all do the same thing!


I hope that Bijou's paws are better soon and Mika (and his human family) continues to take great care of him!


Please do let us know how it goes at the vets!

Our sweet and gentlemanly Bijou! It's good to know he has a wonderful family to take good care of him. Good kitty wishes with our paws together for him.

Bijou & his sweet paws will be in my thoughts today.

It is not possible to overreact when it comes to your precious boy's health.
Let us know what his vet thinks is going on.

Oh poor baby - maybe he got caught on something and tried to pull free injuring his claw. I sure everthing will be fine.

Plenty of hugs to your baby

Poor baby! Are your window screens on the inside? I have had to help Oliver unstick his claws from them before.

We just clipped his nails earlier in the week so I don't know how he could have gotten them caught on something, but who knows. My poor beautiful little boy. Thanks for all the good vibes everyone. I'm just waiting to hear from my daughter now as to what the vet says.

Jen just talked to the vet and after several questions from the vet we have decided to take Bijou in to see her. Jen has an appointment for 2:30 this afternoon. I'll let you all know how he's doing. I'm really anxious myself right now.

Good vibes for Bijou from us all here, especially from Persil! I do hope it's nothing that a quick visit can't fix.
