Me: I hear pet adoptions are up
Daughter: Let's adopt a cat so Kitty Lucy has a friend
Me: Umm...that's not what I meant
Husband: That's a great idea
Last Saturday we took our cat carrier to the local PetSmart. They only had two cats with what we wanted -- younger than Kitty Lucy (so she can still be Queen Cat), but not real little.
Don and Ashley immediately fell in love with One-Eyed Mimi, so named because she only has one eye.
It has been quite a week and we haven't even introduced the cats to each other. Mimi seemed to have a cold, so we took her to the vet at EASEL (though we saw her at PetSmart, she was adopted through EASEL) who said the stitches in her eye came out (likely before we adopted her) and she has a polyp behind her ear and yes, she does have an upper respiratory infection. Come back in two days for surgery.Um, what?
Thursday she had her surgery, but the polyp was too small to remove. Come back in two weeks.
On the one hand, it is a good thing we have lots of free time to take care of her medical needs. On the other hand, if it wasn't for "social distancing" and "quarantine," we likely would not have adopted another cat.''
Tonight is the big night. Wonder what Kitty Lucy (age 6.5) will say.
