Called the vet this morning and they said to bring Jupiter in at 2:45 pm (thats about 1hr 45 mins from now). He is going to the vet today instead of waiting until his scheduled appt tomorrow because the wrapping on his foot is like sliding down. It was almost exposing the area where the bump was removed, so we talked to an oncall vet last night who said to try to wrap it or tape it (wrap it over the old wrap to help it stay up and help it stay covered even if the other wrap falls down more) to stay up until tomorrow then try to take Jupiter in tomorrow. Since then the wrapping has fallen down even more (I could see a stitch) - I tried to pull it back up but didnt do a very good job at that because I was scared and didnt want to hurt him. He was chewing on the wrap I put on - so had to change it like 3 times now. I am worried about it getting an infection because the vet said she wanted it to be kept wrapped because there is a gap there. she said she couldnt stretch the skin far enough to stitch it closed the whole way so it needs to be wrapped. I am hoping they will rewrap the area and also show me how to change the wrap. Jupiter did not mess with the wrap and didnt seem to mind it too much the first 2 days, but then it smelled like urine... and since then he is acting like he really doesnt like it - I dont blame him though!
He has been out and about yesterday and today. He doesnt act like hes in pain or anything. His appetite is not great, but its decent.

Bob actually does that quite often and I can't really figure out why. He comes out of the litter box shaking one foot and I have to chase him down and wash his foot (which he just loves of course). Crazy cats!!!
