mmegaera | I am a horrible, terrible cat mommy

I really am. The world's worst. Morgan (see icon) got his paw stuck in the recliner last night when I brought it upright without realizing his paw was in the wrong place, and it took me a couple of seconds to realize why he'd suddenly freaked out and lean the chair back again so he could get out. He's been gimping around a little today, but nothing's broken, not even the skin, and it's only just a tiny bit swollen. Still, it must have hurt like the dickens, and I feel awful about it. I'd have taken him to the vet if a) I thought they'd be able to do anything for it, and b) it wouldn't have been piling insult on injury to put him in the carrier and stick him in the car. If it's not better in a couple of days I will, though. Although I suspect it will be. He's doing much better this evening already. But I still feel awful about it.
