This is the first night that I've been at home WITHOUT my 2 older kitties being around in... probably forever. It's very strange.
First, let me just say that they are fine - they are spending the night at the vet's as a precaution after undergoing intense dental surgery. (you can exchange "intense" for "expensive" actually) February is dental health month - at least, for pets! So I get 10% off. That would be alot, except I think the 10% doesn't apply to ALL charges. Whatever. I also had their shots done so they don't have to hate me again next month when those shots/tests are actually due (they said it doesn't matter if it's a month early - whew!)
The worst is over. I absolutely HATE having to deceive the poor little guys in the morning, when they're innocently meowing for a breakfast that will never come. Glad that part is done. (can't have food/drink before surgery) The twice-daily antibiotics won't be fun either, but I can handle that much better, I can follow that up with treats and cuddles!
Pants was actually okay to come home, but I wanted her to stay with Bailey for comfort. The girl from the vet's office who called me even commented on how bonded they seemed to be and agreed it would be nice to keep them together. Bailey is the "pleasantly plump" one - I read or heard somewhere recently that it takes longer for anesthesia to wear off if you're fat. How true - he wasn't ready to go home at 6 which is the latest they can release the animals. Cuz he was fat? Or maybe just a wuss? (as Aaron calls him, due to his high-pitched whiny voice :)
I miss my kitties. The younger two are here and they're sticking close by but they're very quiet. They know something's up. Snickers laid down on my tummy when I got home from work, and she usually doesn't do that until bedtime - I could tell she was sniffing my sweater for Bailey's scent (she has adopted Bailey as her mom/boyfriend, I can't really figure out which!)
Please don't hate me, Pants and Bailey, I know in your eyes I'm a mean mommy for leaving you there.... I'll come and get you first thing in the morning, I swear.... I hope you sleep all night and don't notice I'm not there :(
