Lucas is a special needs kitten that must wear a diaper because of neurological damage. He may have a broken tail or a damaged spine and has no bladder or bowel control. Despite this, he is energetic, sassy, and very happy to be alive!

Improvement
Right now Lucas is in a cage with a puppy pad, healing from the urine scalding. He wants to get out and play which is great! Tedra is thinking about diapering him during the day and caging him with a puppy pad during the night. I mailed some liquid bandage which is recommended by the handicappedpets.com people, who know their stuff. I also mailed vaseline and desitin, which can also be used as a barrier. It would be better than a diaper but it depends how well he does. I also mailed three months "rent" to help with the vet fee. Hopefully something can be figured out so that Lucas is not so much work.

I wonder how he'll react to having a diaper put back on him after all this time of not really having one consistently. I hope he doesn't throw too much of a fit over it. The puppy pad, though, sounds like a terrific idea.
