I was so happy to see our cat came back! I opened the door, and he ran inside the house and jumped up on my bed. I went to see him, and to pat him and scold him for being away so long. That was when I noticed that one of his paws was swollen up larger than my fist! I rushed him to the vet, who said that he apparently had been caught in some kind of animal leg-hold trap. I didn’t even know it was trapping season! The vet says that he has to amputate his leg, since gangrene had already set in. He will be keeping the cat at his place for a couple of days. I am so upset!
