First, late last week, Zachary grabbed the cat's ear and somehow separated the lining from the rest of the ear, causing it to fill with blood. Sammy went to the vet once to have his ear drained but the blood kept coming back, so he had to have surgery, where he got 20 stitches, to put everything back together. He's doing fine, though his ear will probably be floppy from now on. And I'm not sure he'll be as accommodating when Zachary tries to grab him in the future.
Here's the poor guy shortly after we got him back from the vet.
Zachary had his own mishap earlier this week when he slipped on the stairs and cut his mouth near the gum line. We couldn't stop the bleeding so we had to take him to the ER, where it took them some time to get it under control. We were all covered in blood by the time we got to the hospital, though he was the calmest one among us. I guess after all he's gone through a little blood is no big deal.
