Sam

Sam is, by far, our bravest kitty.  Sometimes she even sleeps outside!  About a week ago, so was on the front porch when a super mean neighborhood cat, "Bob,"' beat her up.  I noticed her dragging around for a few days, then this super giant knot grew on her side.  After $191 at the vet, she has a drain tube coming out of her side (that I have to milk twice a day) and a very uncomfortably collar to prevent her from licking her wound. 

Thanks Shannon for recommending a much more expensive collar, that is much more comfortable.  She will be fine, Bob may not.
