Irony.. sad unfortunate incident

It took me days before I finally have the courage to type down this blog today. Was afraid to type this blog as I feared people might think or start to question my capability to care for my cats. Or worse... things might blown out of proportion.

My previous blog was about "everybody gets high" seems like the cat who got the highest was Orange. One morning while we were sleeping, he decided to be adventurous. He climbed over the meshed window and out of the top of the ledge that wasn't meshed. He fell straight down from the 6th storey. Woke up can't find him anywhere in the house. With Lala staring at the window meowing away, Mr Lim knew something was not right.

Orange was found sitting on the ground floor with small pool of blood. He was still conscious and alert. But breathing really fast.

Anyway to cut a long story short..
Was send to the emergency vet hospital
Found to have pneumothorax and fractured pelvis
Admitted for 1 week
Went through surgery for placement of metal plate for the fractured pelvis.

It has been a week since Orange came back from the hospital. Poor Lala was meowing and howling during the absence of Orange. Now that he's back, she couldn't recognise him due to a different scent. Lala was hissing at orange and fighting for our attention even more. Its better now... Lala is more use to him but I wonder if she remember he's the Orange she used to snuggle with... As for Orange, he maintain his cool and calm posture whenever Lala hiss. There is not a hint of fear when he walked into the same room with Lala or sit on his favourite spot. I guess it just take time for Lala to be more settle down with Orange.

Yes it was really a fortunate thing that Orange survived the fall. He's a really strong and brave boy.. Stronger than I thought. He's now walking as per normal and I know he will get stronger and better as days gone by. His staples will be removed soon this weekend. As time gone by his fur will soon be able to cover up the scars.

Yet this shall be a painful memory to stay with me for life. It was a painful price for us to learn this lesson. We had been having the window meshed up like that for the past 1 year and nothing had happened. We had thought it was enough. We would never expect Orange to climb over the mesh that morning. Anyway to all cat owner if you happen to bring this blog and you haven't mesh up your window or if its not properly mesh up please do so immediately...

The reason why I decided to write this blog cause It just don't seem right to omit this event and carry on writing my blog as if nothing had happened to them. To those who are reading this blog, perhaps you might think we are irresponsible. Ya I admitted we were. Everyone learn from their mistake and a 2nd chance. I am glad God has given me a 2nd chance to make things right for Orange...
