We’ve got an injured kitty on our hands. Marcus hurt one of his front legs on Saturday. Of course it was while we were gone so we have no idea what happened. He’s been limping around for the past two days so i’ll probably be taking him to the vet at some point today to see what the deal is. He looks so pathetic
