Our cat Awesome loves to sharpen his claws on the edge of the carpet in the living room. Where the carpet meets the ceramic tile the edges are frayed. We get after him all the time, but I can tell he must still be sharpening his claws when I am not around.
I didn't realize the consequences of his activities until Sunday. Megan was barefoot and caught her foot on the wooden tack strip under the carpeting. Three nails slashed the ball of her foot. Two of the cuts are really deep. We cleaned the wounds and applied Neosporin and a Band-Aid. We change the bandage several times a day to help keep it all clean. However, it is in a bad place and Band-Aids don't stay put very well.
It has been a tough week for Megan. She can't put much pressure on the wounds so she walks on the heel or on the side of her foot. She cried this morning because she has PE today and they are supposed to play basketball. Poor thing! But she has been a real trooper and is going to try to walk on the ball of her foot today. I am so proud of how brave my Megan is!
