I think part of the stitching issue is also that a cats skin is not attached to the underlaying tissue so it moves all over the place... it might actually have been a straight cut when the vet did it (and the cat was unconscious and stretched out). Then again, he probably knew this little persian would grow 4 inches of fur over the cut and his incision never seen again, so what the hey... now that I think about it, I think they had to remove a sizeable rectangle of tissue to make sure they got the growth...so they probably had to pull and stretch the skin to get it to meet up again.

the amazing part is 2 days later he was acting like nothing was up....cut that big a hole in one of us and see how fast we get on our feet afterwards.
