Yay for Jojo! Boo on the misguided nurse. I’m beginning to understand why dropzone has had to fight so hard. Rehab: it’s a jungle in there. Beck, I wish you could use your magical powers on my ailing avocado sapling. (I didn’t want one. I found a cracked seed in an avocado and couldn’t bear to throw it away. It’s grown and thrived and now suddenly it’s ailing. I’ve grown fond of it, but I’ve told it all about you and fully expect to find an empty pot and a trail of potting soil leading southeast. You may open your door to find a suffering avocado sapling on your doorstep. His name is Al, Al Vocado. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > Here’s our secret hand sign: Uh-oh. Now it’s not secret. ---

Just got a text from the vet tech. She says Jojo is fine. Wailing his head off. He wants out of the cage. No concerns about his surgical site. It’s draining but that’s expected. He got his head outta the cone. She gave the sedatives and checked back and he was snoozing. She said he gonna be a wild man in the morning. ---

Pictures? Oh, hell, he should be a cartoon character! JoJo The Cat! Dunno if he needs to have superpowers – with his personality, that might be too much. ---

Based on my experiences with the hobbits (Merry and Pippin, my two ginger tabby brothers), I can tell you that you can expect: - Adorable behavior - Shenanigans - Moments of utter dorkiness ---

Vet called, Jojo is doing good. His surgery is doing exactly like he expected. So far this morning Jojo got in the file cabinet and went berserk trying to get out. A big ol’Dog came in. Part Great dane and Jojo started a fight with him. Jojo won. He’s had all the cats in the cage room hollering. The Vet said he’s been posting on Facebook and on the bulletin board Jojo’s progress. He said everyone coming in is looking for Jojo and asking about him. He said he’s got a lump of money donated. My pitiful little beat-up Alley cat is famous. 😳 ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > If anyone has not met Jorts, here is the story. Reminds me of Amadeus (may she rest in piece). My wife said her parents were too closely related. Had her in to the vet for a kitten checkup, and told the vet she was not bright. The vet took umbrage, and moved her from the exam table to floor. Amadeus proceeded to hinge side of a half-open door and cried when she couldn’t figure out how to leave the room The vet sighed, picked her up and gave her some pets.
