Inside Job

Images from the emergency room. Points of interest that don't involve the shadow of his beautifully involuted guts:
1. The nubbly bit is his heelbone, and the last long bone before the toes is his Beckham-esque metatarsal;

2. The hips are, apparently, meant to be about one vertebra-length lower down. He's a compacted cat;

3. The bright white patch at the top left of the picture is his locator chip, so that if we lose him at a point when he has any mobility in his back legs (i.e. if finding him is slightly more complicated than looking out of the window and screaming), then the chip contains information for the international veterinary database.

He's still a bit pissed off, but we don't have to take him back to the vet till Monday. In the meantime, antibiotics every eight hours: 1pm, 9 pm and yes, the other one. Marian's turn tomorrow, hooray.
