Hi guys, T-Bone here.

I can tell most of the city and half the world has seen the Kats Eye News report from last night.

Jake told me to say thanks to you all for your good wishes and prayers. I stayed with him most of the night and came straight here to TopKat so I could whip this blog out.

To dispel the rumors before they get worse:

No, Jake is not dead nor is he dying, nor is he in a coma, or brain dead, or lost all his limbs or got blown or burned up or anything else people are claiming. Amazing how quick you guys spread fake info around!

No, -I- am not dead either.

The TurboKat did not crash into MegaKat Bay.

No, we did not catch Dark Kat.

No, a zombie Ulysses Feral was NOT seen on Tilapia Way. I mean it might have been 'seen' but 'nip does strange things to your eyes you know?

Now for the truth:

Jake was badly hurt last night. His spine is injured, and he is not able to feel or move his legs at this time. But he is perfectly stable otherwise. He is doing ok, and he assures me (and you devoted fans and readers) he intends to be fine. Yes he will be having some surgery in a few hours - but a very standard, and a very safe, and routine procedure with the best specialist I could find. One of Top Kats instructors is as we speak flying in a mega-qualified surgical professor who is going to take over the care team.

Please light some candles and say some prayers for him and the surgeon and his healthcare team (and me, Jake is my best buddy and I'm fretting myself to death with the Sure-shot out of commission!) but say a few praises too because it could have been so, so so much worse right?

In the end, he will be fine.

So everybody take a breath. Everything will turn out ok.

Yours, Chance "T-Bone" Furlong Founder Top Kat Flight Training
