Tonk is growing! Not super quickly, but she IS growing. With how much she eats, one would think she’d be a full size cat now! Don’t even get me started on how much poop that means. 

She still has her own room that she eats and spends the night in. The other cats want her food sooooo bad. (We’ve been giving them some fun treats, too.) The dog would eat both her food and her litter box, sooooo, in her room it is. 

We’ve got to figure out something else. Maybe a cardboard box that we can close on top and has a tiny hole only Tonk can get into? If we put the litter in the kennel, the dog can still get to part of it and the big cats can still use it. Arrggghhh. Gotta find a solution! We need that 1/2 bath back as it’s the only “public” toilet in our house. It’s going to have to be scrubbed. How a tiny kitten got poop on the wall is beyond me. Or the side of the toilet? So far she hasn’t had an accident outside of that room. She may have today, but we can’t find it. Only smell it. It’s lovely. I don’t feel good enough to deal with this, but kitten mom’s must carry on, I guess. 

Big brother, Hellboy, is still engaging and ginormous brother, Maximus, is starting to, as well! Max is also the cat that ~~gently~~ corrects her with a whap of a paw or a mouth to the neck, but he never hurts her and this monster of a cat could. 

If you look at the third pic, there’s a circle around her other leg. This has started to become more evident as she’s gotten bigger. It’s clear, now, that both legs were caught in SOMETHING. We don’t know what or how it came about still, but it does look like she chewed her own paw off somehow, the other leg was entrapped for a bit, thus, the circle, before she got it out. 

We just can’t figure out a different situation. Unless someone saw her and cut off her paw to save her, but that doesn’t make any sense, either. 

I guess we will never know, but we do know she is Tonk the Mighty, Tonk the Unstoppable, Tonk the Pirate for a reason. 

Thank you to everyone who has followed her story and especially those who have donated. The advice we got when we first found her from y’all probably helped save her life. The love and positivity from all of you surely helped with that as well. My heart is so full from all the love little Tonk and I have received from this sub. We will be forever thankful. I will continue to post updates as long as they are wanted.

Tonk Update! Look at how she’s growing! We have spotted something on her other leg now that she’s bigger. (We are still in need of financial help for her vet bill. Every little bit counts. We appreciate you!)
