My poor Tiggy. Do your kits ever zip around the house, looking like they're being chased but no one actually is?? Well, Tiggy was in that mood today. He goes zipping through the hallway and I was laughing at him. He went zipping into the bedroom and somehow missed. He knocked himself into the doorframe.
Next thing I know he's on his side, crying, holding his head at a strange angle, his back left leg up and shaking...........I ran to him and dropped to my knees, trying to see where he was hurt. I didn't see anything, so I pet him for about 2 minutes, telling him it's ok, calming him. Within those two minutes, his head and paw seemed to be better, and within 5 minutes he was walking around being his normal Tiggyself...............yeeesh.....talk about giving me a heart attack. I was thinking about how I was going to have to hurry and put some clothes on and dash him off to the vet..........


Then on my way to work, I almost run over to gophers dashing across the street..........................
Luckily, I was able to stop with out being rearended.............

By the time I got to work, I was a basketcase...........

Sounds like you had a hard day! At least you can relax knowing that you didn't hit a gopher and Tiggy is ok. But just to be sure of the second one, you might need to be giving extra mommy scritches tonight!

Ginger freaked me out like that once - but what she ran into was my shin! CRACK! I don't know who felt it more, her or me!!!

My little girl has a skull like iron, LOL!


I'm glad both you and Tiggy (and the gophers!) are doing better now!!!

Poor Tiggy!


Harley has done the exact same thing, and I feel so bad for him - and I baby him, (of course!) for a few minutes and he's back to his normal self!

Sorry your having 'one of those days!'

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would be like that! I'd be crying at work until I knew for sure that my kitties were ok. But I'm a crazy nervous mom to them. I get worried if they are sleeping to much.
I bet I've bought the vet a new car at least once so far since I've had our kitties!

Well, it's a relief that everything seems to be OK, but keep an eye on that little nut of yours, just to be on the safe side.
