Trigger warnings: blood / cat.
Poor Misty ran up the front tree outside... and ripped out her back claw. The entire claw. Ow!!!
Per my SO, it's like ripping an entire fingernail off. :(
Found out from blood drips by her food bowl... I coaxed her out to eat treats, and let her happily chow down. Then I carried her to our room. Petted HRM, who let me peep at her feet.
Called my SO so he could see the injury. Looks like she'll have Neosporin in her future.
Not sure how well she'd deal with a cone of shame, though. Mostly because if Misty goes to lurk in the back corner, she'll get stuck there. Nothing more -- or less, actually -- helpful than a cat trapped by her instincts fighting human meddling! :/
We'll clean her foot frequently and keeping an eye on't. Worst case, we have A Cunning Plan.
