Worse for me than thee

I took the kittens in this morning to be spayed and neutered… from starving them to the fear that Babette wasn’t quite big enough, through their yowling all the way there in the car, I was a basket case by the time I got to the vet’s… I got chastised for having them in boxes not carriers, which didn’t help much.

All day I worried about them… I was told not to come back until 5-6. I called, at around 3:00pm, to check up, but there was no answer. I had to content myself with watching a juvenile Swainson’s hawk nail, and then eat, a juvenile California ground squirrel. So it goes.

Got the kittens home, cringing all the way (different yowls this time, yowls of pain?) and first thing they did when they got out of their containers was basically purr up a storm. Purr around food, purr around each other, purr around the blanket I had put down for them. They were purring when Numenius walked through the door from Bozeman. They’re fine, leaping about in an unseemly fashion. Purring.

Now, I can get some sleep.

  2. Sure is quite a bit of worrying for one who isn’t a cat person! :) Glad to hear all are home (Numenius, included!) and doing well.

  3. How are the kittens today? What a hair-raising day you had, Pica. I second the previous comment :)~... Have you decided who you is going to share your house with you?
