Well, Space Cat has finally returned to his home planet, leaving us with an almost-normal and extremely cranky Tigger. Noticeable changes include his newly altered genitalia and the fact that he’s missing large chunks of fur where the vets shaved him before his surgery. This, of course, will grow back, but in the meantime it’s hilarious. His entire belly is bare except for a little fuzzy regrowth. And since he’s fat, and since it turns out that the skin under all that fur is a charming pale pink, he now looks more like a Franken-piglet than anything else.

He’s also missing most of the fur on his neck and two of his legs, which doesn’t add to the piglet effect but it does look bizarre. He doesn’t seem to care much, not even about the fact that the cone is gone (along with most of his penis) - he just gnaws lovingly on our hands and swats at our ankles as though nothing had ever happened. I will, however, make sure to get some photos before he’s back to his usual hair self.
