The Cat from Mars

It was one thing for him to compulsively clean himself since the day we brought him home. Quirky and endearing, we thought.

But, as of late, he's started to declaw himself with this own teeth. One claw in particular was swollen and almost turning black, so, off to the vet we went.

The vet took some hair samples from the area to see if it's an allergy or a fungus or neither. In the case of the latter, it's probably behavioral and we will have to resort to ...

(wait for it)

...

He is so miserable right now.
