Some times my world is difficult to love. Here is the side of one of our cats, Bobie, just after the vet cleaned her abcess, stapled shut the top of the wound, and inserted a drain. Twice a day I had to clean her wound. Neither of us liked that chore. She'd yowl, I'd grimace. See that piece of cloth? That's the drain, a loop that circles inside her body. Twice a day I made sure it moved freely. Sometimes she'd lick the drain and pull the knot inside. I'd pull it out.
