You underestimate this cat's intelligence. I question whether he's even a cat sometimes.

Sounds like you should broaden your horizons /s

1. My wife came up with both names. I like AtLA way more and happily went along with it.

2. We have taken Nala to the vet a number of times. They always called him "her". This was our first time at a new vet because we recently moved.

3. His tail will be fine. Not infected or anything. He goes outside and likely got in a fight with another cat. The vet said it looked like another cat scratches abscessed and popped. It looks bad but he had an anti bacterial shot and has some medicine to help with the pain and irritation.
