Cat Ear
Much fun was had by all. Not. Moshie was not happy about being picked up, and when I set him in the bathtub while I used the bathroom beforehand, he cried and cried.
I've discovered that the way to get him to hold still while I'm working on his ear by myself is to have him sitting there in the sink right-way-up, no towel. If I can immobilize a gander, I can immobilize a tomcat.
He didn't cry hardly at all at the ear thing. The abscess has diminished to half the size it was. He only struggled a little at the initial poke of the draining process, and then again when I put the hydrogen peroxide in the incision. He tried to slink out of the sink; thankfully he isn't the type who explodes out at the worst possible moment. He's getting wary of being picked up, of course, but he still comes up and gets petted. If anything, he's more snuggly, because he knows something's wrong, but not as wrong as it was.
I'll be very happy to see him being Mr. Bouncy again.
