Mandrake: home, safe, wobbly

He’s not feeling much of anything after two jabs—one antibiotics, one painkillers—but clearly he’s in shock as he’s a bit cold and shivery. The other cats I wasn’t prepared for them being shocked, but they are. You can almost see the one question behind all their eyes: what happened to his leg?
