Shemp is still limpy, poor thing. :( It's not nearly as bad as it was when we first started, but he is definitely down one (1) claw. No signs of swelling or infection, and he's still getting around okay. (It's not like he has a demanding lifestyle. :p )

So we're figuring it's best to let him heal naturally and spare him the trauma of vet transport or captivity. He''s certainly in no mortal danger, and doesn't seem to be suffering much, just a little hesitant with that paw and a little extra-meowly.

He remains the sweetest boy and didn't do anything more than fuss as we held him and had a look. He's also extremely licky today, but I think that's equal parts "I love you, food people" and "mmm you are covered in tasty salt because it's 90° out."
