Oz has been home now for three days. And. She has amazed us by her rapid adjustment to being a tri-pawed kitty. She has not had a super appetite, but we've tried to offer her faves; fresh shrimp, which she's munched on daintily and her Fancy Feast fave, which she's eating here. For the first time today, she tried to escape from our bedroom, where she's been held captive. We're stunned by her continued improvement.
After she ate a bite or two, she headed for Sam's giant bed to relax a bit. She hates her meds (of course), but they help her sleep and keep the infections away. We stopped by the Humane Society today to say thanks to those involved in finding her and to re-license the pups. There were at least five individuals who were interested in what happened to her. We learned little more about what happened to Ozzie, except that instead of that nutty woman keeping her for two days, Oz was apparently held hostage for four days. All the days she was missing. I guess we can thank Dog that she was inside on those cold nights. For those who are squeamish, you may not want to look at the next photo, which shows Ozzie's amputation and stitches. She is in great spirits! We are so encouraged by her courage and backbone! What a winner!

Ozzie, you're looking great! I am so glad that you're a survivor, although it probably means you'll be around to boss Sammie and Avalon around for a long, long time! Keep following the doctor's orders!

She IS a fighter. We are so happy to see her doing so well. The appetite will come back, and it wouldn't surprise us at all if the meds have some impact on that too. Nice to read a good and happy post.

I am very happy to know Ozzie is adjusting so well to her new situation!
I am sure she will be back to normal in no time!
Four days?? Oh-oh! Better not to think about those days and just look ahead for much better and optimistic days!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

You are one brave cat Ozzie! You are a survivor and a real inspiration.
So glad to hear that Oz is doing so well!! That is great.
I'm so happy to see that Ozzie is doing so well.
Ozzie is a fighter and obviously very adaptable! I am thrilled to hear your news but I am baffled by someone holding a cat hostage for that long, especially if she had tags. That's nutty in and of itself!
We'll keep thinking of you and rooting for Ozzie's continued amazing recovery.
Ozzie, we are so glad you are doing so well. We can begin to see that spunk back in your eyes. The HoundDogs
You are a brave and sturdy cat, Ozzie, your humans are taking great care of you too:)
What is wrong with humans?? Why would they hold Ozzie hostage? Oh my. At least Ozzie is getting well. Our prayers are with her!
Ozzie,we are soooo glad that you're getting better!
Way to go Ozzie ;)

Ozzie, you look great! We know you must be feeling a little weird right now. But once your stitches heal up and you don't need to be on meds, you will feel more like your own self.
Glad to hear that Oz is getting better!
Keep healing, Ozzie. We love watching a determined soul adapt to the newest challenge.
She is doing very well! If she continues to not eat much you can always grab a can of Science Diet A/D at your vet. It is super high calorie so she doesn't have to eat as much. Momma had to use that while they were syringe feeding kitteh sister Ellie.
