kitties

miss_pillar's surgery was delayed until tomorrow because an emergency came in. she's doing well, i'm told, was eating and drinking.

sir_hedral -- i dunno. he just stared at her with WIDE WIDE eyes all night, i'm not convinced he actually slept last night! i'm with him. i'm not even sure i *believe* the story. it's so surreal. i had miss_pillar written off for dead or catnapped or... then three weeks later she suddenly shows up at 1am.

with a broken leg, that she barely notices.

then less than 8 hours later i whisk her away to the vet and she disappears again.

i don't know how much comprehension goes on in the kitties. what is sir_hedral thinking? does he think it was a dream? a ghost?

i was telling ianhickson earlier i'm a bit afraid that it was a very vivid dream and i'm gonna wake up from it and have to grieve again.

State of the Pillar (part 2)

The vet was unable to pin the leg properly and they had to amputate it. the amputation went well and cleanly. i saw her at the vet about 2 hours after surgery (maybe less). she was *purring* and trying to cuddle and jump out of the cage. i ended up leaving so i could shut the door and not have to stop her from trying to escape the whole time, she needed rest.

i would have gladly stayed and pet her longer. i'm still in shock that she came home two nights ago.

i will, barring unexpected badness, bring her home tomorrow and get instructions on how to care for her.


also curious how hedral is going to handle her coming home, again, and her three leggedness.
