Poor Jake!

Cat sitting went ok in a way that I did not feed the wrong cats this time but yesterday morning when I got downstairs, I found to my horror that there was blood all over the window sill, the post, the dining chair and everywhere around the floors.

I quickly checked Dizzy and found nothing wrong with her, spent a little time trying to catch Jake and eventually discovered that he had a (now dried up) little cut on the big pad of his right hind paw.

We have absolutely no idea how he got that as he was fine when we went to bed, but mummy thinks he might have trod on some tools that was left on the didning table. That could also explain why the blood was on the chair. He wasn't limping when he walked and it was amazing to me how much blood had come out of such a tiny cut.

I still felt terribly guilty as I was responsible for his well fare and really didn't want something like that to happen when I was looking after them.
