9 lives?

Just when I thought there was no room left on my plate, my neighbor calls to tell me something is wrong with "our" cat.  In case you do not know "our" cat was banished from indoors around week 2 of living in this home.  She went crazy one weekend while we were gone and instantly became an outdoors cat.  Since then our neighbor has fed her, provided her a bed complete with bedwarmer and recently let us know she had been letting the cat sleep in her garage at night.  In other words, she was taking better care of the cat than we were, in return the cat wanted nothing to do with us, so we did not really mind.  Until last week she fell and broke her leg in two places.  Our cat-loving neighbor took her to the vet (and would not let us pay her back), but did ask us to please take the cat indoors until she was better (she has an indoor cat that does not get along with Mitten).  So, Mitten is now liking us again, cuddles with the girls, but is going stir-crazy with her bright pink cast.  Me, well, I am getting used to it, guess I can squish this helping over to one side of my plate for the time being.

Sweet little girl! Has anyone signed her cast yet? Like the cat next door, perhaps? That pink cast is about as adorable as our cat wearing braces on her teeth after being hit by a car (and getting canned kitty food for weeks!).
