Mistaken Identity

Something mistook my little buddy for a chocolate bunny. Our lovely Easter Sunday took a downhill turn when Scrappy came home minus part of his ear. He was on the losing end of a Sunday afternoon street fight. I'm pleased to report that he's all cleaned up, medicated and appears to be fine now...although he'll never look quite the same again.
Oh my! Poor Scrappy! He was certainly living up to his name. Glad to hear he's on the mend.

Ohhh dear, thats a sad little tale. Such a gorgeous coloured smokey grey kitty too. Maybe almost lost one of its 9 lives. Hope he's feeling better.

@girlie @jennlouise Thanks, Robin and Jennie. I think Scrappy has used up his nine freebies and is working on borrowed lives at this point. He's been a semi-feral, gangster cat for 11 years. :)

A gangsta cat, LMAO
April 25th, 2011  
Oh bless him ! Wonder what bully cat did that !
April 25th, 2011  
Oh, I'm sorry about his ear!! He must have been involved in a really bad fight! Bless him!

@happypat The list of possible perps is lengthy, Pat. Although, knowing Scrappy as I do, I'm fairly certain he started the whole thing. :)
April 25th, 2011  
Oh, my!! Poor, poor baby!! I'm between laughing about your mistaken identity comment and feeling so sad for him! Glad he's ok, and hopefully will stay out of anymore trouble! Great shot!
April 25th, 2011  
Poor thing! I'm sure lots of TLC will help him on the road to recovery.
April 25th, 2011  
This looks terrible! I guess it gives him character though.
April 25th, 2011  
Ouch! This is a photo that tells a story. Like the rim light. Perfect.
April 25th, 2011  
so sad, that would hurt, poor scrappy!
April 25th, 2011  
That's a bad one. I've had cats who had a little nip, but this looks serious...So sorry...
April 25th, 2011  
awww, Precious Baby! That's heart-breaking! Both my guys have been "notched", but this is to the extreme! Stay attentive to medicating it, and I hope this is the worst of it. ...it really pains me to see what he had to go through!
April 25th, 2011  
Oh my, poor Scrappy.

I would see where Mike Tyson was at during this time. It looks like some of his work.
April 26th, 2011  
Oh Peggy, that's just so sad. Poor Scrappy!! I thought the Mikee Tyson comment above was pretty funny!! Thank you for all of your sweet comments. Don is seven years older than I am, so thankfully he was old enough and all settled down to maintain our family too. We had the two boys in the first three years, and Ashley three years later, so it was a busy house hold. I was slightly high all weekend, but I was able to have a really great time with the kids. My doctor was very nice about understanding that I needed to be able to "feel" good! I wish she would have given me a months worth of meds! I'm a little curious about the botox, but I have had so many other procedures done, and all I have left prior to surgery is the botox, and another procedure where they go in and laser the nerves, killing them so they don't hurt. The botox seemed like the lesser of the two evils. I have two discs that are bulging, and I must have done something in the last month to irritate the muscles again. I'm also doing physical therapy to try to strengthen my neck. Well, OK. Enough on my saga!! Hope you are doing well my friend. I love love love that I get to see Harper on two profiles now. What a doll, and Molly has such a fun personality too. I am so happy for you!!

Poor thing!! At least he came home though!! We have coyotes near us and were told not to let the cats out at all since they are a favorite snack of coyotes. I hope Scrappy is ok!!
April 26th, 2011  
Poor kitty! I LOVED reading your description and comments. He sounds like one tough kitty... He reminds me of my 3 year old. She will start a fight and take down (make cry) anyone in our house that does her wrong.
April 26th, 2011  
I bet he was thinking, "You should see the other guy!" Great shot - but hope he's better soon!
April 26th, 2011  
Oh my goodness! Poor little Scrappy! He really is living up to his name here! I can't help but laugh though at your comment about someone mistaking him for a chocolate easter bunny because from the thumbnail that is what I thought it was a picture of! Ok, laughing stopped, in all seriousness I am just so happy Scrappy is ok! If it makes you feel any better, one night when I was a little kid, my kitty came home without a tail! But he survived and lived to be over 20 years old!! Hang in there Scrappy!!!! Hugs!!!
April 26th, 2011  
Oh no poor Scrappy! He had a hard Easter and it does appear he was mistaken for some silly rabbit! Great perspective of this shot.
April 26th, 2011  
wow
poor little kitty
glad he has a good home
April 26th, 2011  
Poor Scrappy! I wonder what some of his other opponents look like LOL Glald he is OK Peggy, he must be a worry to you sometimes. At least you now he comes out on top.
April 26th, 2011  
Ouch!
April 26th, 2011  
What a great name for a gangster cat, lol glad he's ok though
April 26th, 2011  
Poor Scrappy! This reminds me of a local living history museum that has cats that live there, but feral cats keep turning up. They started notching the resident cats’ ears so they could tell which ones needed to be rounded up. But their notches aren’t as drastic as poor Scrappy’s! (I love his name!)
April 26th, 2011  
Oh no! You have a scrapper on your hands! Poor baby!
April 26th, 2011  
Oh no, poor guy! Hope he is on the mend soon.
April 26th, 2011  
Thanks for the comment on my hivey picture. I actually do yoga almost every day and had a long meditation session on Friday and tried to open & balance all my chakras. My crown, solar plexus & naval chakras are really out of balance. I feel like I helped them clear a bit but more work is needed. I could probably use a long Reiki session too. I found that I had a horrendous headache the evening after meditation which tells me I was purging some ick. I plan to do more soon and get myself in check. Thanks for the support, sweetie!
April 26th, 2011  
Poor Scrappy, we had a cat that was a fighter like that.
April 26th, 2011  
Yikes - that must have hurt ! hope he taught the other bruiser a lesson !
At least he came home to medication
April 26th, 2011  
Oh poor Scrappy! He is collecting evidence of playing with his nine lives
April 26th, 2011  
Ouch! Poor little guy. He certainly is appropriately named, isn't he?
April 26th, 2011  
Oh man I hate it when cats fight....they just don't play nice at all! I hope poor Scrappy isn't too traumatized or humiliated! :)
April 28th, 2011  
ah poor scrappy .....i'm glad he is doing well though
April 30th, 2011  
Glad he came out the winner! That happened to one of my cats.. she was in a car engine when it started. She was ok also.
April 30th, 2011  
oh no... poor kitty!
May 2nd, 2011
