Jack is continuing his remarkable recovery. He had a good visit to the vets, and they seem very happy with the way things are going. The pellet is obviously still there but it seems to be considered less of a risk than we thought. It should now be fairly firmly lodged and may not cause any significant problems. We hope the swelling will continue to abate, and he will be fully functional again. It may cause problems going through airport metal detectors and he might be a little more top-heavy with a lead lump in his head. We have always politely suggested that he may not have been the brightest kitten in the litter (loveable - yes, but bright... hmmm... no!), but at least he now has an excuse!
