Don’t Ask

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on February 25, 2009

"Seriously, you don’t wanna know. I’ll spare you the details.  You’re welcome. All I’m gonna say is that whatever genius builds a chalet right in the path of a ski jump can fix his own damn roof."

But I got this lovely little sock at the hospital.  So there's that.

Talk about de agony of de feet, Isobel L.

Poor Ferg! Get better soon.

However, my thought reaction was, “how did you get up there?”

3 skippymom 02.25.09 at 8:04 pm

Ooh! Serious failure to use modesty tail, here.

4 KathleenB 02.25.09 at 8:04 pm

Poor kitty!

5 skippymom 02.25.09 at 8:05 pm

Love how his cast matches the cushion.

6 Seven Paws 02.25.09 at 8:09 pm

Cute or sad?

Big blue leg in sock: CUTE!

Shaved kitteh leg and the expression: so sad!

But priceless!

7 Nicolletta 02.25.09 at 8:19 pm

Poor Ferg! I hope your Mommy and Daddy give you lots of loves to make it better.

8 scooterpants 02.25.09 at 8:23 pm

ha! poor ferg.
i guess if you’ve got a bumb leg you’ve gotta show your ‘man stuff’ to prove your still a ‘dude’
he is very studly.

9 jen 02.25.09 at 8:23 pm

awwwwww poor baby. no more catastrophies, ferg!

10 skip 02.25.09 at 8:28 pm

We’ll excuse the lack of modesty tail due to injury but that cat’s look says, “I’ll get you for this…”

11 Theresa 02.25.09 at 8:35 pm

Does it say “PFERG” on that sock?

12 Trisha 02.25.09 at 8:36 pm

If a mom or dad made such a pretty cast, you know they will be taking very good care of Ferg. Lack of modesty tail excused.

13 AuntieMame 02.25.09 at 8:45 pm

That’s a heart, Theresa. ♥ FERG

14 Marie 02.25.09 at 8:45 pm

Hey thanks Trisha I was able to miss that until your comment. Ew. Lol!

Mad skills on those captions, Mike. ;D

15 skippymom 02.25.09 at 8:48 pm

@scooterpants: good point!

16 VC 02.25.09 at 8:52 pm

I didn’t know boy kitties could have that kind of orange/gray tortoiseshell kinda coloring.

17 Estlin 02.25.09 at 8:59 pm

Ferg is a beautiful cat. It looks like he is being taken care of very well.

18 Chris R 02.25.09 at 9:10 pm

When I was a kid my cat broke his leg. We were very poor and my Mom never took it to the vet.

The leg started to get rotten and stink so we had to put him to sleep.

Memories *sigh

19 nads 02.25.09 at 9:10 pm

Those eyes! What a beautiful kitty.

20 gryt 02.25.09 at 9:16 pm

Ferg looks pretty happy in spite of everything. What a brave little soldier!

21 T.U.M. 02.25.09 at 9:17 pm

MAH DIGNITEH
WHER IZ IT?

22 auntbaby 02.25.09 at 9:17 pm

poor baby. poor poor little guy.

23 Alexis 02.25.09 at 9:36 pm

What a cute guy, fuzzy nutters and all!

25 Jae 02.25.09 at 9:42 pm

I love that Mommy or Daddy put him in a chair in the sunny spot. Good servants of the broken-leg kitty!

26 MamaRobot 02.25.09 at 9:51 pm

Poor sad shaved kitty flank :(

27 Trabb's Boy 02.25.09 at 10:04 pm

Uh, having one of each, I think Ferg is a girl kitty. ‘N it’s not just the tortie colouring.

33 Sarah 02.25.09 at 10:07 pm

Awwww, poor little Ferg. He must be well-loved. I hope my little Pearl doesn’t break any of her limbs, because I don’t think I’m crafty enough to make her a nice little sock.

34 mary78 02.25.09 at 10:07 pm

Aw! Poor Ferg! But what a great name for a cat… Ferguson is my maiden name!

35 sunnymum 02.25.09 at 10:14 pm

So nice to see that Ferg received the medical care h/she needed. :) Looks like a well taken care of cat imho. REally sweet face; happy healing there Ferg!

36 Charlie 02.25.09 at 10:33 pm

My sisters’ notoriously stupid cat Jonesy broke his leg and had to have a pin put in. As if this wasnt bad enough my nephew was playing with his big magnet at christmas and accidently stuck it to his leg. The kid was pretty upset that he might have hurt him but Jonesy was fine and proceeded to lie on his back in the middle of the living room for the rest of the day.

37 jlamusings 02.25.09 at 10:43 pm

Awww! Love the custom cast! Get well soon, Ferg! One of my kitties is a Fergus so he has a similar name (assuming she’s a Fergie). :-) He’s been shaved for testing before too, so I called him “Ferginude” during that time.

38 victoreia 02.25.09 at 11:21 pm

That expression reads equal parts “D*mn! This hurts” and “Get that camera outta my face!”

39 chanpon 02.25.09 at 11:29 pm

Toonces, NOOOOOO!!

40 Teresa 02.25.09 at 11:44 pm

I agree, skip. The kitty’s face says “Someone is going to PAY DEARLY for this!” Poor thing. I hope Ferg’s leg heals real soon.

41 Mary (the first) 02.26.09 at 12:02 am

Poor Ferg. But definitely lucky too, since he/she clearly has devoted parents who have even color coordinated her sock to the furniture. And put her onto her favorite (I’m guessing) chair in the sun. Now if they’d just take the camera away.. !

42 Kar 02.26.09 at 12:40 am

Charli, it sounds like your nephew was more traumatized that the kitty!

I love resilant kittens.

43 Brenda 02.26.09 at 1:20 am

We once had a kitty that got caught in a fan belt. It was an even more monstrous get-up that this. Even with all that, that cat could get around!!!

44 Jen8 02.26.09 at 1:36 am

If you have a Brazilian, you should always use your modesty tail when there are cameras around.

45 dawgpup 02.26.09 at 1:59 am

lol but he looks sooo cute! :)

46 kibblenibble 02.26.09 at 2:38 am

Ferg has the prettiest green eyes and salmon-pink nosie! <3

47 cachorro 02.26.09 at 3:15 am

I feel like lack-of-modesty
was kind of forced on me
at the hospital. Maybe that’s where Ferg got such a relaxed attitude and he
stayed that way at home. Me,I got my modesty back FAST once I got out of that hospital.

48 berthaservant 02.26.09 at 3:18 am

“And quit saying that my middle name is Eileen!”

49 M. V. 02.26.09 at 4:36 am

Em, he, em, forgot the privacy tail…

50 M. V. 02.26.09 at 4:37 am

Or she.

51 BabyOpossum 02.26.09 at 5:18 am

Heh. Eileen.

52 Jordi 02.26.09 at 5:56 am

Is this cat’s name Fergus? Because he looks like a grey version of my orange tabby Fergus (whose twin brother is named Angus :D )

53 Subhangi 02.26.09 at 6:26 am

Ferget it Ferg, it’ll soon heal.

55 iggle 02.26.09 at 9:17 am

This is my sister’s cat Fergus!! Sooo shocked to see him up there when i opened my Daily Dose of Cute this morning! I sent this pic in ages ago, he’s walking again now.
He’s a boy, named Fergus, originally from Houston TX (rescue cat), now happily residing in Surrey, England. Poor thing came home with several spiral fractures one morning, and it’s taken months and months of work to get him back in good health.
The nurses at the vets lurve him, and always give him special dressing wraps, he’s their hero.
Go Ferg!

56 iggle 02.26.09 at 9:39 am

PS – lack of modesty is entirely due to the shaving – he’s usually very demure! Fergus is a sweetheart – he looks a bit put out in this pic as he was on vet-enforced cage rest for nearly two months, and this was his daily supervised ‘outside’ time. He’s much better now, putting weight on his leg when he walks etc. and jumping up onto the sofa even.

57 Trabb's Boy 02.26.09 at 10:15 am

That’s great news that he’s all better, iggie!

Personally, I will have to go reexamine my cats’ rear ends to learn what boys and girls look like.

That’s great news iggle. I’m happy to know that he can walk now.

And to the Other Mike, cheers for the Epic Win of a Caption!

64 Huskyteer 02.26.09 at 10:36 am

Looks like he’s still in shock! Poor little chap.

65 Gail (the first one) 02.26.09 at 11:30 am

@Subhangi: Thanks for the link!!! That was great!!! More fame for our Meg!

66 Nik 02.26.09 at 2:16 pm

Iggle, thanks for the update! I love the fact that the vets make him fancy dressing wraps. That’s very sweet. But as a Texan now living in England, exactly what sort of accent does his little “meow” have now?!

67 cheesybird 02.26.09 at 2:52 pm

Yay, iggle! Thanks for the update. Glad to hear Fergus is doing well.

Oh my goodness, I just want to kiss his pink nose.

68 Theresa 02.26.09 at 2:59 pm

Yay Fergus!

69 Lu 02.26.09 at 4:05 pm

iggle, thanks for the update! I adore Ferg and his sock. It was obviously made with great love and care. Please ask his people on the scene to give him a snuffle for me.

70 Beth 02.26.09 at 4:08 pm

Fergus says this means I get an extra can of fancy feast right.

71 kar 02.26.09 at 4:55 pm

A cat in an enforced rest cage? I’m imagining the old tazmanian devil cartoons where the box lifts off the ground in a storm of spit and cursing.

No wonder he looks put out! Glad he’s doing better now. Stay out of trouble Ferg!

72 AuntieMame 02.26.09 at 5:51 pm

I’m giggling over Ferg’s Texas-accented British meow.

Pip pip, y’all!

73 Theresa 02.26.09 at 6:05 pm

Hey, I have a friend whose daughter is a Chinese Italian Jewish American Texan Princess. ;)

74 Theo 02.26.09 at 6:22 pm

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

75 January 02.26.09 at 8:56 pm

Unlucky Fergie is lucky that someone really cared enough to get the very best. It is a fashion look.

76 January 02.26.09 at 8:58 pm

By the way Ferg…we don’t really approve of the full monty.

77 sinyorita 02.27.09 at 5:21 am

78 Fergus' Mummy! 02.27.09 at 12:23 pm

Thanks to everyone for their sweet comments! Fergus is my cat and we seriously adore him, he’s the most gorgeous boy. He’s also incredibly expensive (we had no insurance so he’s practially bankrupt us – who would think it costs SO much to fix a cat’s leg?). He is doing much better and hopefully only has 2 weeks of dressing changes left and then he can run free – yay! We love him and have passed on all your various snuggle requests!
A very proud cat mummy, xxx
