Ann, have you checked to see if there are any repairmen reported missing lately? (for those who don't get the joke, I'll let Ann explain)

Hmm-m-m-m-m, you may have something there. Greg ordered a new refrigerator and we haven't gotten it yet. Maybe the delivery menarrived with the frig and Melody attacked and ate them. Except, where did she hide the refrigerator? Maybe that's in a corner of Bunnyland loaded with greens.

I realize I never updated this. We found out where the blood came from and from whom. There was second much smaller, less dramatic bleedweeks later. I found a small amount of blood on a pillow only Etcetera uses. My shy kitty Etcetera had a hole in her left arm pit. There was a tumor that had 'blown out'. Our vet removed the tumor and we are waiting for the biopsy. Etcetera is a senior cat and as I said, extremely shy and hard to handle. We are hoping it is a benign lipoma. These are much more common in dogs but can happen in cats. Doc says the arm pit is an unusual site for a cancerous tumor. She is healthy otherwise.

Please spare a prayer or some good thoughts for my gray girl Etcetera.

I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Poor girl, I hope she recovers quickly.

I'm glad you solved the mystery. I hope Etcetera is OK. Please let us know.

The biopsy of the tumor came back yesterday and it is a benign hair follicle tumor. Other than being 14 years old, Etcetera is fine! We are very relieved. I wish I had a camera to take her picture. She got a haircut when she was at the vets to remove soem mats and now she looks like a little grey lion.

What a relief to find out it's benign. Sounds like Etcetera is doing great, after giving everyone a puzzle to sort out. And I bet she looks cute with the new 'hair do'
