Don't Mess with Big Red

Poor Oscar.  In his five years he has injured himself three times : twice he was impaled with a stick running through the woods chasing something.  Once he had to go to the vet to have the piece of stick removed.  Last week we heard a yelp and found him with a long gash through his skin.  The next morning it was a trip to the vet.

And stitches.  Ken believes by the tipped feed barrels and other evidence that Oscar had crawled under a table to play with the kitten.  Then a paw with claws came at him and Oscar backed up, caught himself on something sharp and ouch!

The two animals are working out how to play.  Oscar remains a bit cautious.  The moral: Don't mess with Big Red!
