Blue came out for food and Erica petted him. He seemed glad to see her and trusts her a little again. He is licking his sore places, but is not in any distress.

Blue has never really warmed to me, and I don’t thing that aiding and abetting in the loss of his tomcat parts will help our relationship. He has to go back for a checkup in three weeks and I will try to be the bad guy in that brouhaha.

I think that a tall man may have abused him at one point. The neighbors throw things at cats that come into their yard. He may associate me and my big feet and loud voice with danger. I hope that soon he will associate me with kibble.
